K) among rubble

among rubble

desire rubs ruins
and dulls blades

obstinate like gas
hope will fill with air
the gaps among rubble

hardened and crooked roots
will loop with underground kisses
and bud in the strength of grass
loosen up lovers! and reclaim the night!
caresses cure cancers

sufferings of woman
have ground boulders of atrocities
into the finest sand
as our bed

cleared spaces redefine life

love, it's over
would you
quietly
now?
