Broken Voice

Abstract art by Mari Pack

Your empty voice

is so much noise

Your scattered marbles

Broken pins

As you worship debts

within

checking ticks

off fulfilled promises

Love like love me

Choose like choose me

absorb

like take me

and all my flaws

Breaking faith

Will loose me because

i tamed a puppet

Tamed a pet

No one knew

How well

spirits can starve

bodies

like flakes

leafs after dark

For in

this stark oppression

I consistently

wait

for your

correction

Facilitate me

into the you

you picked

I'll slick my hair

Eject my dick

I'll loose the legs

and wag

a tail,

i'll collect the milk

and hurry

with mail
