Of Tounges and Parsley and Sage

[Love Child]

Frozen in the winter months
taken by the storm
eaten by the elk
run over by the dog
flavored
my
meat

 

[Love Child]

I put a stake through my stomach
and pulled out my heart
I turned it around
tied the chords
snipped the base
I put it on a plate
stared at it for a while
told you a good story
listened about a time or two
we drank tea
then we saw films
we sat back and watched
how our life
was different back then
the clock said ten
I woke up
and you were there
