Bed Like Africa

tigers breathing
heaving
ribs in and out like ours
biting like you
fucker
biting me
ow

grasses waving
the wind
blows goodbye
goodbye self respect
hope
goodbye
take what you can get
biting
ow

sweating
its hot
dust and ashes
of fire
and all the dead
sweating and tangling
my hair
sticky
turns to ashes

falling
so easily
the tree is old
my heart is tired
it falls
settles
on the ground
to become food

the dust rises up
in the heat
and i am torn apart
to nothing

full in your belly
you saunter away
licking lips and
sharp teeth
for pieces of me
