“Take my hand,” she said,
so I did and followed,
and she showed me where she lived:
“Nothing much survives here,
and they've passed castration
over my dead body too,
and I wished you'd been there.”
Where pterodactyls circle the air,
dogs get fixed within their pairs.
Nothing there but nothing there, my friend.
My friend.
Papers read
it was touch and go,
and I crossed my fingers and I laughed:
“Yes, I'd like to hold you,
while they climb out of their
car wrecks gasping for their breath,
and they all die trying.”
Tired of birds dropping in mid-air
and ghosts of parents beyond repair
and nothing there but nothing there, my friend.
My friend.
