took you by the road side
red-beat, took me
straight off my feet
that one steely night
when your stuttering embrace
went broken-skinned
I felt you kiss me
sweet, sweet man
you
you stole from me
in a nit-bit took my hand
and into it whispered, forever
you said get, set, go
and my stubble heart took
saccharine swings
no longer had I to wait
all on my own
but your head and tail vision now
like a tangled lie, stumbles out
from somewhere behind
and your tinctured promise
skitters past remnants
of fractal gods
staring upon
my one time prince that you made
the pauper
