I think we have had enough of ourselves
dashing about and posing in sweet entropy.
You were the Ace of Cups
sitting there at the end like a period,
or a new sentence,
or a death sentence.
I have exhausted my organs
in vitriolic distinctions and
ancient markings.
My body is writ with your pictures
like the valleys of Nazca,
you have carved me
with your hummingbird,
your albatross,
your spaceman,
and I am staring at the blood
running down my hands
and arms
and legs
in wonder
at our gasps and entreaties and
war.
Just war with me, won’t you?
I beg you to plot against me.
Position your pieces and topple me,
because once you rid yourself of the
Queen
you will be victorious.
Don’t deny me.
Just give me this one favor;
attack, and rip, and chew, and kill.
Otherwise all my fancies
fly away like Icarus
to drown.
