To love you was to see a bleeding fish
to say I do not trust you but here is my heart
watch you sling it around your shoulders
a new petticoat for the winter ahead
To leave you was to lay lies in the mouth of my soul
to argue with my elephant heart
watch you turn and collect your next woman
a new bonny prize for your mantle of sorrow
To live without you is to climb out of the earth
to pull a sogging lung from the salty sea
watch you live circular and frustrated
there must be a new life on the other side of this
