sorrowlostA Poem by Amorette DuvannesI The sag of full moons soggy and bewitched, it seems Fingers that didn't know the touch sense, Wiped blank, clean-slate, until you were Something I regretted. Lord, King, the First worthless-giver to my persona, Handed it over like a bouquet, you, bridegroom, Would go on to be. It was okay, then, to Kick me in the shin because I was an ugly shame, Now I am something you ravaged, threw me To the pale concrete, painted hop-scotch, Half a dozen into my life, you hurt me, Son, You tried to make me pay for something I had just as quickly undone. II Hungry, prowling, cheetah forged from snow, You cheat her, cheat me, cheat anything that moves, And you were the only one I admit to be a phase, growing like seams Into the cheap cotton darkness, growth-spurt Into the void you came. You never knew, There was no suppose. III Like the Ash, you grew out of a hurricane, Prisoner of War who had ne'er seen wounds, And you laughed, laughed, laughed off my love, Like it was the punch-line to your overall merit, Loved by many, and now, also, the Shadowy spinster, Black as smudge, muck into the pristine face of all might, Masculinity, and fraud. You gave me my punch, I give you your line: every woman adores a Fascist. IV The first broken summer, Nazi poems To mock your heritage, nationality, V-for-W boy, you made the swap but left me here, Like a pattern, like a switch, the first one knew, The second one died, and the third one had God's Knowledge of all my amour, and now, you, Light of my life, axe-murderer, toeing up my loins, I wrote you as a Fascist Hitler as revenge for Your not knowing, not loving me, not spitting Your mocking into my face, the only way I have loved. If I could make one wish, contemplate one desire, Make a thousand: It'd be you, to love me, to love you, To love, you, all. You died too, after I did, A broken Summer, the songs burn my hands, I shake and remember you, horseman. V The real one, the Norse monster, the truth, the end, you. I stretched out my genie meeting you, washing-line reside, The migraine pricked like a bee-sting, and now, you. Last Summer, the germanic wish of mine had me dizzy in grief, Missing him, missing me, and again, doomed, you. And now I go the Forbidden way, Forest pondering fires, House wondering collapse, and I think it's you. Like all good wishes, you have fulfilled in your satisfaction and now, Like Godsend, like trivia, I am both prized and commended, me. You. I haven't been scathed under your combusting loins just yet, My wonderland, on it's axis, takes it's time getting there, to you, Once more, into the centre, I pray for my return.
