Valentines: “biorythms” by Auzin

                                                                       biorhythms

i had to seduce myself first           the rest came
afterwards                    i've been trying to write a stanza
without blood in it                  but my wounds keep
oozing onto the keyboard                    i'll call it eczema
i scroll up through the feed to see my posts from the future
my lover           his lover            backyard chickens
an antique pewter ring             a dress to wear only once
the bright blue light which                                  nightly whispers to me
let this be the last thing you see            let this be the last thing you see
