raze i tell myself
each black body
i crush is a year
gone from my life.

tonight i count eight
spins around the sun.

you're only doing
what you were
designed to do.
but i can't have
you filling the
funnel that feeds
my fractured dreams.

so i send you to
whatever afterlife
there is for insects.

if each lash that
leaves its lid is
a small death good
enough to wish on,
what response is
warranted here?
