We
are wasting each other’s lives
We try to understand what we are doing
Aimesly connecting with the truth
Holding onto each other
I am a good breeder
I did everything right
Raised him the right way
Hid him from harm
We
ate each other’s food
We smelled the new cooked coffee in the morning
We had a moment of peace
Shared the same haven
Blood dripping down the spine
Creating a new person
I live on him
Over him
In him
Cutting
flesh
Carving bone
Melting life
