Please! Keep <br />reading me <br />Blake <br />because you're going to make <br />me the greatest <br />poet of <br />all time <br /> <br />Keep smoothing <br />the stones in the <br />driveway <br />let me fry an egg <br />on your ass <br />& I'll pick up <br />the mail. <br /> <br />I feel your <br />absence in <br />the morning <br />& imagine your <br />instant mouth <br />let me move <br />in with you— <br />Travelling <br />wrapping your limbs <br />on my back <br />I grow man woman <br />Child <br />I see wild wild wild <br /> <br />Keep letting the <br />day be massive <br />Unlicensed <br />Oh please have <br />my child <br /> I'm a little <br /> controlling <br /> Prose has some <br /> Magic. Morgan <br />had a <br />whore in <br />her lap. You <br />Big fisherman <br />I love my <br />Friends. <br /> <br />I want to lean <br />my everything <br />with you <br />make home for your hubris <br />I want to read the words you circld over and over again <br />A slow skunk walking across the road <br />Yellow, just kind <br />of pausing <br />picked up the warm <br />laundry. I just saw a coyote <br />tippy tippy tippy <br />I didn't tell you about the creature with hair <br />long hair, it was hit by cars on the highway <br />Again and again. It had long grey hair <br />It must've been a dog; it could've been <br />Ours. Everyone loses their friends. <br /> <br />I couldn't tell anyone about this sight. <br />Each defeat <br />Is sweet.<br /><br />Eileen Myles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/each-defeat/
