Daniel Romano
Drugged Vinegar
I’ll reek of this forever
Fearing pheromone and Feather
For what impulse may have let her
Cut this prophesy in stone?
A scar is but a scar
On the psyche that you are
Like a fragment in a jar
Or a sickness at the bone
Drugged vinegar
I was suddenly weakened
I could hear someone breathing
Someone I didn’t know
Drugged vinegar
I was laced to submission
Fucked without my permission
And left to wake on my own
More alone then
Than I’d ever known
Speaking not but through the words of this poem:
Drugged vinegar
I recall a softened light
As my frame took on the blight
Still un-shook with all my might
Long now since the damning’s done
And her heart of half the blood
What the other half be of
Is a drink of poison love
Spiking Lilly flowers numb
Drugged vinegar
I was suddenly weakened
I could hear someone breathing
Someone I didn’t know
Drugged vinegar
I was laced to submission
Fucked without my permission
And left to wake on my own
More alone then, than I’d ever known
Speaking not but through the words of this poem:
Drugged vinegar
