Please is Not a Word, It is a Place
               Please, is   Not a word..it   is a place   you and i   we go there   that empty little cell   walled with my heart   there is naught but a chair   for i, prisoner   and i don't need   your fingers down   my throat   or   your fist up my cunt   to find myself   in that room   with you..   a broken sparrow   falls from my parted lips   and lies   on the floor   between us.   look, do you see   do you see   how fast its heart is beating/   the sound of its wings   deafens us   both.   Moments pass.   there IS no ego here   it is the   softest and most silent of   crucifixions..   please is Not a word   it is a place   it is the bareness of holy ground   that gapes   and burns   and puddleshimmershivers..   and i   i wait for you   to reach down   eyes on mine   gently cup that broken sparrow   and kiss it...
