It Takes a Slave To Crave

it takes a slave to crave,
to watch destiny devoured-
hiding in a tree she 
scoured the shambles, sucking 
in air as though choked-
sun stares, casts light, stood
smoked- just out of sight.
it's okay, alright, touch-
the vague force of presense-
naked dance- slithered through
electric fence. intent collapsed,
well spent- dust in the sky.
