a woman i know
once told me about
hatefucking
rolling and tumbling
in toothsome anger
with a richly despised partner
i am not sure
i could do that
i have never hated a partner enough
to want to lay hands upon them
once their poison
took effect
all this is to say
i’m the wrong man for that job
if you want to make love again
you’re going to have
to treat me
much much worse
