Inadequate

AS LOVERS WALKED, RENDEVOUS AND GAME

HIS EYES TURNED RED, HIS HEART

AFLAME

HER FINGERS TRACED THESE ROMANTIC

PSALMS

HIS HEART, HELD GENTLY IN BLOODY PALMS

SHE CARESSED THE DREAMS OF HOLY MEN

HE STAYED AWAKE, NOT TO DREAM

AGAIN

SHE KISSED THE MOONS, THE TREES AND STARS

ALL THE WHILE, HE FLUNG HIS BODY IN FRONT

OF CARS
