quench
bespeckled
Grasping
for
nothing
in
particular
and
reaching
it
,
grabbing
the
first
thing
that
bursts
into
your
heart
and
keeping
it
,
biting
into
it
like
a
ripe
apple
,
letting
it
fulfill
you
like
no
pure
water
ever
could
.
Like
no
spring
water
could
ever
purge
your
soul
.

We
dreamed
of
matrimony
White
picket
fences
,
white
dresses
,
black
gowns
Contrasting
late
nights
walking
home
from
7
-eleven
Drunk
High
And
stoned
On
our
love
We
raised
our
Slurpeeās
Like
chalices
of
ale
and
mead
That
once
were
used
to
praise
ancient
gods
Just
as
we
used
to
praise
our
love
Our
temple
went
into
ruin
As
the
statues
of
Thor,
and
Odin
Those
that
were
dyed
with
Azurite
Now
are
painted
with
fluffy moss
What
was
built
in
years
unraveled
in
months
Oh
I
dream
of
those
nights
and
I
dream
of
those
dreams
of
dreaming
of
a
future
That
now
only
exists
in
fragments
that
scream
Echoing howls
of
what
was
then
and
what
never
had
could
of
been
You
are
my
messiah,
my
wide hipped
Aphrodite
I
will
call
your
name
Into
every
abyss
,
every
crease
,
and
every
terrible
feeling
I
ever
had
