His Letters

his letters are flames
licking my heels
I am raw
I am barbecue
he loves to see me roast
his laughter serenades
my nightmares
as trees scratch SOS against the window
go the fuck away
I throw his taunting curlicues
against the closet door
no satisfying smack
anticlimactic angst
all fucked up and nowhere to go
they don't flow but stagnate
polluted Styx
where is my fix you sure as fuck can't find it
standing behind me
shielding
your
eyes.
