...A Poem by Ookpikhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c417rIku6Iw&ab_channel=Portishead-Topic. . . She took his bed, you understand? . He didn’t court her, There was no charade, No feigned matrimony, No partnership-dance. . She tore into his sheets Like they were strips Of elephant meat And all she had, were teeth. . She burst upon his bedframe Like a shell of white phosphorous, Burning into its varnished shape A heart, and her initials. . She ripped up all the wallpaper, Made feathers from the pillows, Obliterated the plaster As a pestle to a mortar. . She wanted his bed, so she took it. And he loved her all the more For that. . She wanted him. So she took him. And he loved her, more, . For that. . . .
