15.2.10

red sea

I poked you
but you stayed dead
like sleepy heads
through alarm clock rings
and the rings around
my fingers said
Cuz, I'm always
gonna be here
a hate note
ripped to shreds
because
I can't
morally hate you
More over
I can
amorally love you
from the waking
to the quaking
of RPM's and
the final vows
of bone flesh
to concrete wed
where the wake
cast the casket
as the marriage bed
to the grave
where it was
consummated 
And the masses
of holy
blood tears
were bled and
spread
like the red sea
except there's
no miracle
in our parting.
It's only
a cruel goodbye.
