I'd always thought

That I'd be first

To disappear

Into that long sleep


When you were with me

You were my everything

What food can nourish?

What water can quench me?

You were the sun I hadn't seen

In the 2 years since my sentence

You were the coconut half that

Shielded me from bitter voyeurs

From sharks with eyes they stole from you

From cold and lonely nights

Suffocating darkness


Where have you gone?


I don't care who sees this

I know it isn't fair to you

But the greater injustice of

Your sudden banishment

Compels my words


Two-legged scum of this blue Earth

You have taken what was not yours to take

From me, and I will bring you no joy

Anymore
