card-

pack:

 

i am not looking for your pity 

but my energy is dangerously low 

and i should really rest in the sun 

for week or two

 

my fingers deep

into your muscles 

under your ribs 

the living history 

of your pain and abuse

 

at least in the act of sex

you take take take 

or give give give 

to take take take

 

but now with you 

there is nothing to take 

except your agony

 

and later

your resentment
