Tomie

every morning staring at you feels like another life another time, another hour who are you this time you've been torn and tortured by a host of heavenly birth your tawdry disposition keeps you going back to her

like asteroidea you return your pale features shine as stars

your moonlit spark of divination reincarnates all of your faults as you move and give me shivers knowing no one can know my thoughts and I turn to you in earnest hoping not to break away and flee I can see you in every image sound and every breath I breathe

like asteroidea you emerge shimmering beauty never leaves

you haunt me from the bottom you swim back up for tea you seduce another mistress you are not interested in me

torn and burned and tattered remains show back in force nightmares overrun the ocean I'll meet you with a thirst bergamot and lilac soften the details of our lives and we repeat every iniquity when there are no tears left to cry

like asteroidea you grow stronger staring back into my eyes
