Trafficking

The arch
in the targeted killing
was the bet when you
lost your virginity.

A slow dance
at the cold river of flesh,
with genitalia wiped off.
I was constructing-

your genome
from you saliva. Prayer 
was a form of begging
before an unpardonable sin.

The gradient
parting the hills will
find another arena
to start the game.
