Secret 0002
I am a receptacle -Useless when full
Of pale jaundiced china
Cracks borne like medallions
My cyan euphoria
A tunnel,
Accessible therefore attractive.
White feet, black hands
Warm, inviting,
Taking full and ample
Advantage of your earnest
Intrusion.
I can smell the chase
In the night
With eyes stabbed dry
By my nervous claws
And the cracks
They widen
Another chiselled blow
(However gentle
However forgiving)
Is still a strike
So the prey surrounds me
Some hang from trees, some from dark clouds,
The cracks they trap
My claws they snap
Into a crimson
Stream
Into a warm
Tunnel
A receptacle.
