"and to crush
underfoot

seedling and fence
or fawn in its dreaming

beckon beckon fire
upon me upon
him in his taking

upon waking sudden
in my violence
ripped from
sleep
demon in my throat
hoarse in its defense
to

wall you
from me
from him
from the dying aster
taken in its blooming
and carved with petal screaming
name upon name
your name

and i
eaten like
bitter honey
trespass
upon your tongue"
