Just Desserts

retreat me
but push me away
your kneel up, my heel down for fear of not flying
i hang in the balance until i catch my wind
and double pulse kicks in beat by bloody bloody beat

beat me to lose me
a broken skull shows no scars
i’ll feed your golden retriever until my crossbones are dry and his teeth are cracked from tail to tear he’ll shed fur sometimes

reprieve me for later
the earlier the better
i’ll pack six and go mix wolverines and wolves
while we play hunter and prey
tell me why you think there’s anything more to say
