Crush

Fallen fledgling,

Struggling. 

I grin, 

I can help it,

Because it's mine now. 

Steel toed boot

I crush it.

S L O W L Y

To

Feel

The 

Crunch. 

Sigh.

Release.

"Cain, you are a gift to this Earth" I say to myself. 

The trees shed beauty, 

Exposing brown skeletons. 

I walk and crush their, 

Orange,

Yellow,

Red,

Fallen alms. 

A rustle, 

Sunbeams flicker. 

Sympathetic nervous system,

My pupils are dimes. 

I see, 

I crawl, 

I watch, 

The brown beauty.

Grace, 

Perfection, 

She's mine now. 

Excited

Perspiration 

Drips, 

Blurs my vision.

My rifle cold and hard.

I stroke it 

Aim. 

Her doe black eyes see into mine.

I never waiver. 

Cain 

"The fuck?!" The bitch is in my head. 

Cain, tilt the gun up. 

My muscles betray me. 

Cain, the barrel under your chin now.

Cain, your finger on the trigger now. 

She speaks wordlessly. 

Now come with me, 

Hear me.

You walk among men, 

Crushing skeletons

With perverted joy.

The Earth is not your toy.

You animal. 

It is here you will fall. 

My body now her puppet,

I move with her,

And lie in dirt. 

I want to take her,

But she reads my soul. 

I am all women

All animals

All Earth

And all of those without offensive mirth. 

You are not in control, 

You are a slave to your lust. 

Sin came to your door, 

You are no Bacus.

No Philemon.

You welcomed it in. 

Like a fledgling you now lie,

In Earth forever waiting to die. 

A flicker of white, 

She pranced away. 

Immobilized in Earth's hole,

no control. 

My rifle forever pointed at my chin. 

My finger forever on the trigger. 

She would never be mine. 

Nothing would ever be mine.
