if i loved you it
was only because you let me
and if i didn't
it was because i was insufficient.

i realized the tragic essence of my
love
rolling down the moon covered highway
trying to keep my tires
glued to the concrete
under the steady swish of
the rain.

like an arrow, my vehicle
shatters
against the railing
and squeezes through
in gooey thickness through
the splintered cracks of
my windshield.

as my eyes grow dim i
only
wish
my blood would feed you
rather than the grubs.
