The Half-Dead Moon

You cannot quit my life,
without blood on your hands cleaving
through my poems. Will you take off your skin?

Were your lips as true
as your eyes? As I know you O king,
you have punctuated my song.

Pulverised You said,
there was someone sending wind to
fire. I was burning in the salt lake.
