for C.
this for which I lavishly ravished meaning to decimate or make love to I will always stop to be a beacon to pick up a coin to tell my brothers do not walk like snakes the story is not mine to tell filled with pressed lilacs sow the field with teeth they murdered me on the way to the hill they sang my praises meanwhile the story is not mine to tell but when I don’t occupy my mind my mind is occupied |
