I was playing with words and he got stuck in them I knew the craft of meaning making He was too blind With river eyes and saltbeds of skin He never asked me why I then played with a gun and he got killed almost I relished the skill of slaughter He was too kind, again He held my wrist not to wring it Asked himself "why did I bring it?" The gun was thrown away I took him to the bedroom and locked him inside, I was bored Closed the doors on his face, so cute Why didn't he hate me then? I wish he were a brute I tossed the keys into the fireplace Read a book for fun Ended up breaking in through the window Our life has just begun.
