• Reliquary

you stood in front of me brittle as birds' bones
ripping ribbons from your reliquarium
your gifts would give as much as they could
dancing partners made from wire & wood
marry me, marionette
marry me, marionette
march on monuments to our weakness
close your cupboards and burn your dresses
I feel it breathing inside me
the heat is getting through the cracks
I feel the stitches tearing open
save your needles for the gash

they were sleeping with their sisters
and they invited me in
you're not the only animal I knew
but I can't leave what begs to be consumed

why are you shaking if it's what you needed?
wanted, succeeded, described, & repeated
your gifts would give as much as I demanded
dancing partners unstrung and unhanded
carry me, marionette
bury me, marionette
in heart-shaped holes through tunnels twisting
letcherous labyrinth waiting & wishing
I hope it dies inside of me
I'll carry it around as my own
make your likeness in these bruises
live inside another's home

they were praying with their eyes closed
and I could not relate
you were the only honest one I knew
I'll die before I give their breath for you

kerosene queen
my machine disease
that I gave you
I forgave you too many times
don't stay alive for me
