Victoria’s Secret

I have eyes all over my body and
I know what they did to you
God knows what they did to you
I see them like we were one guilt
one shame
one seed of the Devil
I foreshadow their kills
I foreshadow spells of their hypnosis
submission
it hurts just to be and dream

rag
left to yourself you wonder how much of a child
how much of a Sun Heart
how much of Clouds and Rain
you breathe in by quiet complaisance
by prayers
exhale fear and delusion
their venom
I wonder if you will ever find
consolation in belonging in my arms

but I am not of them
I only mirror path above your flesh
they seduced
used
and spit back at me
