your scrubbrush your prickly
pear never got me down at least not
in the bad sense in other words
on my knees i never intended to
stare at your scars or your bad side
only to gather into myself the cuttings
i mean the parts you meant to have
discarded or buried but nonetheless
didn’t get around to redressing before
the opportune moment presented itself that is
if pruning helps growth then
pain & loss must be requisite for fruit
and as far as redressing
it seems only fair to bare it all
laid out from horizon to horizon
let your tears run off onto me
i’ll stretch out and catch them
falling stars i collect like wishes
because i aim to care for your naked, naked shoots
and shoot for your naked, naked cares
to relieve your lamentations for a lick
to go down on not be down on that road
through the desert of days’ unfolding
thoroughfare of hourglass
whose sand covers and scrapes
smooth the crude shape of my love
yes, i long to partake
in the poke & prod you bear
