signs of life

signs of life

sunday you are fucked
sideways, choke me out
until i see stars
in the back room

come monday, you are
tight as a drum -
bang bang banging
your breast and mine

tuesday night i am
all idioms and bravado -
you quiet my ugly
thigh and laugh

by wednesday, we're
crazed unhinged on pills
i'm trampled by elephants
eaten by moths
