Unholy Spirit
Un-sanctified,
engorged and
elevated by
thick black night,
weak and withered
by early morning’s
light, the obvious,
constant and un-
wanted suitor.
we buried
each arm
a few feet
either side
of his grave
he’d always
wanted
plenty of
elbow room
Lovely but Rotted
You lovingly share
a large part
of your beauty
with me
And smaller parts
with whoever
stumbles
upon them.
