the crow and the worm #5

wriggle in mud
you curly piece of crow food
swallow in one gulp

the crow and the worm #4

crow woman so bored
wormy trying to sound smart
pathetic wee prick

the crow and the worm #3

crow cried for a day
only one worm made her happy
mistaken belief

the crow and the worm#2

pretty little worm
yet slimy and deceitful
go back down your hole!

the crow and the worm #!1

fuck you little worm
i will eat you in one gulp
caw caw caw laughed she

BEREFT

do you know?
how i can be
deeply
deeply
BEREFT
and still not want that boy back
but miss the boy i thought/hoped he was
can you?
do you?
understand how empty can hurt so much
even after a life this long
and
well yes and
the thought of making love with anyone with him .... not wanted no
no no
and to never rub his cheek
oh dear
my head is pounding
i have cried and cried
and every tear a wasted one
that boy not worth a tear at all


to know he has a new woman
a fist POUNDS my chest
stopping my breath
my head spins
for moment i die

no one else to rub my fat belly
and the other things i dont want to say or feel or remember
just that there are the other things
i will sleep tonight and wake in the morning
and talk to cats and sit in the sun
