THE DEVIL I KNOW
I am aware of being the
Cunty Fair prize piggy
as a digital sentimental
as a reluctant softy
as a quick concept of
“good”
in your match list
I am no longer hungry
cannot gorge on pies
for looking any longer
if my body gets referred
to as revenge any further
I will spend all my money
& disappear along with it
I no longer care to know
my form in its illustration
I am bored by a la carte or vibes
I want idle touches
& swear by the bible of scarcity
only pay close attention to
my hands like my mother’s
a grand on my fingers
as close as I’ll get to deserving
still carelessly your
Americana Cave Woman
never seen a mirror
callassed by loyalty
at the expense
