Cortex

Trying to forget
forget the trying
forgotten a brand still burning steaming inside your
cortex
latex
holding you out and holding you in
sex if never a friend
but a fiend
making us seem
like toy helicopters on a string
down hanging me
twisting
you plant a watermelon seed into my brain
you said it would make me grow, make me glow
night queen
you have me pushing up daisies with my feet
in your defeat
ready to give in
ready to give up
pushing lust into love
new sheets
iron and bleached
but never clean
leaching out of
milk and honey
in sand dunes
I put ice on the V's and C's
that your body makes
ready for you to give up
ready for me to give in
