Dreaming AffairsA Poem by Amorette DuvannesI know more than to suppose I'm hurting anyone. We're using each other for the status, of course. I've never had anyone love longer than a slap, to know if I could love longer than a slap.
Dainty lover, white as the grave-dancer
Faceless, your face. Limbless, your arms. This heart. This heart. This heart. I fell down the rabbit-hole an hour in, Swallowed whole in the forest 3 days later, A week on, I am 100-years asleep, Waiting on your non-hands. Your eyeless sockets. I say it because it's real. Or rather, it's really what I feel. I am miserable with your dream in my head, It hasn't stopped turning you over since your first joke, You remain still, in some bed, far from here - Or maybe you toss. Turn. Like I do. Like I wanted For you. It was a prick, a little thing, a mere flicker, That caned the flesh until it was barking red. You could have your knuckles twisted in the panties Of one girl a minute, and you would still be one of my line-up. You are the thirty-third dream I've had this year, It's January 28th. I feel you whimpering away from me. You will die eventually, die from me. It won't mean much, but at least you will take, From me, the time I waste. I have far too much of The damned stuff. Quick, like light, dare to race away from My nothing face.
