a dream of forbiden fathers
I had a dream where you watched me wash my hair You sobbed at my innocence You cradled my head in your lap My naked body lay comfortably cold on the wet tile Your daughters watch me Their eyes burn into my skull Jealousy and the truth They mix well when I am with you Like wine and smoke Like smoke and love Why do you care for me so gently Not as you have before Your cracked lips parted and you leaned close to my ear Speak little nothings and little everythings Say that you want me and me alone
My body aches from the burden of knowing you
