Tribute

Do not read this if you are faint of heart If you never asked where you stand When things fall apart When the sand In the hour Glass is Done And all you can see is your lips pale Wanting more crayon, your brows Not streamlined or cute, a blade Is for slashing wrists, not hairs That I sometimes want there When I need a morass to Hide from panting dogs Or searchlights wide Panning the woods For me between The valleys of Of your legs Do not Hate me since you have disobeyed my will My favorite woman is Bernadette Devlin still.
