labyrinths

---

I dream
and run the labyrinth
inside my minds
scream
out loud
to stop the
thinking
the dissecting
of things that
know no regular bounds
these equations
of forced bondage
or of darkened cage

and I wake
again
to you

your teeth you
sharpen upon my
neck and
the red flows and
jumps and
the absence makes
the chains jerk
tight
and I am knowing
of nothing
but held
here
and drained
until the dark
of my eyes
shows the
sameness
we have
as you
tear from me
what my
mother
never wanted
