[A tranquil bird]

A tranquil bird
in solipsistic glee,
likened to me
irreparably,
to drown the sea.

So when the creature
in your young and
supple neck
_____your beauty mark
_____you make me sick
will burst forth in
a bloody fit,

like a vendetta'd thing.

It's sopping wings,
can't help me, please.
and falling to the ground
--your knees.

You writhe tonight
and rise,
to writhe
and bloody hooves,
a slice of pie.
