Thank You for Your Time

I’m going to 
tell you something. 
Even though
I know
your pity 
will just spore, 
like Huns of the night,
into my world.

I will be
your broken bird

on the sidewalk.

If,  at the end of a long day, 
when you coo 
perfumed nonsense 
around my wound, 
it clouds me 
in something 
that almost resembles
a mother’s 
warm touch.

Thank you 
for taking the time.

Asmodeus Smile

You were
twice my age
and told me

you had no
friends,

but I might be
pretty enough to
go around
with you.

I ran
marathons,

and with
Mammon eyes

scanning,
you
measured
that I must have a
nice
body.

You tried to
convince me
that I was

interesting
enough
to deserve your
attention.

You chose
carefully.

You gave
my credit
to my father.

I agreed,
as absence
makes the heart
build 
itself.

You acted like
you were the
first being to
discover
me, but

you didn’t know
how many
like
you
I had already
run into
on my way
out of
hell.

I was enjoying
this game
until you
ruined it.

You might not have
any friends because
you’re

too transparent

through that
Asmodeus
smile.
