MELTED INTO GOD

Today I bled

Tears

For the child

Flushed

D

O

W

N

The

Toilet

Of the relationship

We never had –

LOVE, a fever

That would not break

For days while I lay

Haunted by the truth

A gentler form of punishment

And sadness

Asleep beside me

Like Moses

With the face of god

Is better to look away

Than be burned, again

Like that.
