Regarding the Secretive Nature of Matches (Edited)
Dheroan

"Kerosene isn't much of an
 1
antiseptic.".
 2
My stomach feather-grins that the matches
 3
even bothered to make their way
 4
to your red-handed
 5
optimism.
 6
 
 
 
 
The moths are laughing at me through flared nostrils and
 7
the tap is dripping solitude through my thoughts.
 8
While the tone of the cat’s elegy
 9
matches my own,
 10
we’ll sing this offensive duet.
 11
 
 
 
 
And lust oozes through the
 12
corners
 13
of your
 14
(starry-eyed) facade.
