MY DESTROYER

You have said your words aloud
to smite me.
You have given me
a piece of lumber
and dead canaries
as inheritances.


My destroyer,
to repair your
damage
I have gone
to some other ends.
My
body
has found itself
in the fjords.
***

I have put out
spitoons
to
keep your
opinions
away.

You,
my destroyer,
are molten
and embittered.

You flow with the lava
to bring fire
to my whole town.
