I have failed at forms.
I have failed at tooth.
I have failed at these other forms.
I have succeeded at consequences.

The Misunderstanding
So
you think you found
a chink in my chastity belt,
do you? A way to weasel
your weasel in? I’m afraid
that’s simply a portal
to the underworld, Sir,
where I’ve stashed
the bones I’ve rattled
and the hearts I’ve crushed
like
rusty ol’ cans of tin.

sent by her ex
much appreciated by
