  GETTING OFF THE LOVE POEM CIRCUIT

Imagine I am Orpheus, illusion of
life beyond illusions, still smitten,
trying to lead you upward from what looks
a bit like the Hormel slaughterhouse in
Algona, Iowa.

Don't slip in the blood, my insurance
won't cover it: and I turn and look,
see your face drop, that shitty
"You don't love me!" look, and sadly
you are right,

I don't, no more. Farewell obligation,
farewell notes made to dampen your thighs,
words cried in a passion dead so long ago
that Casanova might have stolen them from me,
gone, worn down

like ground teeth.
