Her Friend, Her Husband
I like to think I do not hate her
a Christian man,
heart so bound
in Galatians, John, St. Augustine
was on his knees, an artful proof
begging grace,
cursing youth
I like to think she will remain
in hands, God’s,
road to zion
travels though, alone, unearthed
she digs a grave
steep
like mountains
point to peak
A son, husband, job,friend
she will deceive
believe her eyes
for now, in sex, muscles
drown,
deep sweat
a wager's soul
wager's debt
I like to think she will be found
out, that is
For her sake and
her son, that bent at breast
now the toy of restless
throbs
and wet, used skin
I like to think she’ll love again
