My Little Dove Doesn’t Sing Anymore
I pour hot rum over her wings
She sings when I see
The olive skin and the smooth neck of someone I used to know
I wish she would sing for me
I wish I didn’t have to slit her out to remind myself she exists without him
I wish she would just sing for me
But she doesn’t
So I pour thick smoke over her
And hear her choke
And it makes me cry
But I only wish my Little Dove would sing for me
