Your high-pitched lips performed
across the folds of my polka-dot dress,
palms facing the backwards, pornographic belly
of that tuned out guitar you pounded and bruised.
A harmony of secrets slime out
amongst those angsty lyrics
only an adulterer could produce.
The arduous task of penciling in time
for you to break my home
with whole notes of paradigm lust
is becoming sticky and strange;
like the morning secretions
of a previously forgotten evening.
Yet I am held captive in the abstraction
of your breathy cadence, fluid and pretentious
as it may be. You are the unfortunate sharp
in Every Good Boy Does Fine.
