Her attractive pain sitting there as if surrounded by the
Symbionese Liberation Army.
What if this were loss, what is that howling?
My anxieties attack at her every withdrawal, a dog at her heels.
I cannot believe that I could lose her
I cannot face another scolding by superior beings should I give chase--the clamp jawed frenzy of my daydream hunt of her attractive pain
My occasional blabbermouthed baying.
The minor tragedies of misinterpretation foolish enough to think itself legitimate--blind idot litters smothered in the bloody sheets by royal midwives while mad princes stagger through the room declaiming verses on the theme of abandonment by the female principle.
