nothing to barter for power but / the helplessness in your outstretched hand / “spare the excuses” / “no use in apologies” / no bark beneath / just a ghost in a bedsheet / no longer able to trample / insidious inflicted suicide oath / unloving creature born out of selfishness / cry out for the help at the end of the rope / turned inside out / a vision of pity / weaponization of vulnerability / the beast you are feeding is blind to your loyalty / in time you’re consumed by its own volatility / an eternity wounded / lamb ensnared / psychic pull / we have no shared delusion / “sometimes comes the mother” / “sometimes the wolf”
network of lovers / turned into strangers / can’t be bothered / to witness their truth / dominion of agency / downpour of urgency / dying to be seen by you / king of the mountain / authoritarian / can’t take the heat / when it’s turning on you / in language of law you carved into stone / who are you “accountable” to? / i’m sentenced to circling infinite grief / while you dodge the judge’s eye / fucking weasel / almost serpentine / the way you scurry out of my sight / king of the mountain / fucking coward / won’t eat your words / as they spill from your mouth / go run away / by code that you laid / you’ll be held accountable somehow
