sawdust doll

sawdust doll

A Poem by Ross Davison

 

it’s killing me,
 
this nasty stranglehold
of worship languid,
 
you are lying
 
                              to me
so easy,
 
spattering the blood
of my lungs
across
(each) the    h(c)all)
(never)
(made.)  
 
friends don’t treat friends
this way,
 
no,
they are all cool and relaxed.
they say it’s ok
on days,    when it really isn’t,
but
they mean-
“you are still      my
                                          friend”
 
and then,     there is you,
 
not my held-heartclose,
 
though I thought you were,
                           all clear and cool,
 
so,
three times        my fault,
beyond each
decapitation,
                           you wish me       disseminated,                               but,
 
I am not your poupée de son     
 
I am                 
 
gone to you.
