AND READY TO BE CONSUMED (poemoff2)

March 2nd, 2007 by Zack

AND READY TO BE CONSUMED

you get eaten alive by the perfect lover.

not by need, but desire

the moon turns to blood,

take your flesh from me

and i’ll disrobe the metaphors

you’ve dressed me in—the

world ended the day i was

born. the day you were born

the sun turned to bright, bright

copper (now dull and green)

the color of the table we lay

ourselves out on. the color

of the hours that we wait.

notes: the title of this poem comes from tiffany’s “south from her heartbreak”
