You Went and Spent the Fly
Ace Kale
It came out of your urethra
Strong and pungent like vinegar
What I've often smelled when I enter the market with the sunflower sign.
I should have known that through the curl of your beard, there would be a fly unseen
Buzzing into the caverns of my heart.
I want to take a tube and stick it up your nose,
Wincing at the thought that maybe you can take me to the craphouse coffee joint down the street where we can blow a cig and I can stroke your deep hair
Like urine during infection.
You went and spent the fly
that nested there.
You took the eye away from the centre
And spindled it round the offsets of my lows.
I can't bear it no more.
Motherfucker. All I's wanted was a little nudge
Then a grin.
But it never happened.
