i have seen the million miles that grow like a seed
like a weed
when we are apart.
it has watered itself somehow
and is the cause of my running off over and over
the states own mistress
the belle of the balls
the demon underneath
i am starving it
but it eats my blood
gleaned from grazed knuckles
and damaged fingernails
the dirt not the mother for me
and there is no other way
to pull this out
and it is happy there as i wilt in the deep sun
each freckle converted into death
i peel off the layers of skin and finally
nourish it
the carcass left behind blows like dead leaves.
