La petite mort
You can’t help but hear
the thunder of shutters, the lights.
None can help now dear.
Her glossy lips, her derriere
against which the blond man fights.
You can’t help. But hear
her moaning, traced with fear,
punctuate with fucks and gods, trite.
None can help. Now dear—
how’d you land this gig, ear
to some producer, rear hot with bites?
You can’t help but… Hear
her laughing, drug-fueled, tears
splashing onto her swollen chest. Nights,
none can help. Now deer
run through her dreams, Diana,
the moon is lost—the sky is filled with blood.
You can’t help but hear:
None can help now, dear.
