sawdust dollA 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.
