Through tears
that washed away the walls
and left bare her fields unsown.
In words worn tired in secret places
and flattened gallows morning tone
"Am I a monster?"
And I am mute.
what can I say to you but truth?
You are my love, you are a monster
You have cut me to the bone
and there are times when in your eyes I've found the meaning of alone.
And yet...persistence.
Love in blood.
I won't begrudge you all your seas
You are my monster, my dearest monstrum.
Divine voice of catastrophe.
There is truth in storms disaster and I love your truth in all its guise.
Come lay beside me
I'll kiss your claws.
You are still holy in my eyes.
