O’ Sad Daddy
 
you rest body after you choke
me between back and bed sheet

this space needling night wing
water prison   dead prison   prison
untucked weight           your teeth sing
in a blue chipped bowl as I self-mutilate
my ninth and tenth rib
my spine     iliac crests ischia

belly half-swelled
i am predisposed to tearing

that boy from your tongue
chains stitching an unscented blanket
daddy        where is God in this room
  pink puckering a breath        a sex

game of suicide? watch you tap   tap   tap
bone against metal         extend your neck
across the floor
