Chemical Ally

 

Chemical Ally

 

And, if it comes to pass

that the carousel spits your bag out last,

fear not. Grind your teeth,

for, after all, this is the least

of your concerns, if some deity burns,

jealously learns and therefore churns

out such an unearned sentence,

why prostrate yourself in repentance?

Dream in the face of such things,

for patience its rewards bring,

two mouths in duets soon will sing

to warm the bed you came to cold.

It’s more important that you hold

her naked to your nakedness,

let those chemicals do their best

to form strong alliances that test

in love such black cosmos careless

as this. Lie long together, fierce in need,

planting promises, spilling seeds

to bring harvests that her hunger feeds.
