MY BITTER BED

Glowing golden on stolen afternoons
her goldenhair a halo on my pillows
my bed
a sunlit sanctuary, an altar
consecrating angelic carnality.

A golden soul
delighting in our delight
consistently petitions our fusions
until in the heart of a heat, riven with ecstasy
we call it to us,
our flash is fleshed.

Golden innocent, ripped
from trusting slumber
exposed acknowledged discarded.

Tarnished now
my bitter bed bears love
grown mundane, reduced to routine
glorious union now the scratch of an itch
dreams on a shelf, or in the garbage.

The golden one that made us giants
is lost
we walk the earth forever diminished
poet prince or pagan queen
forsaken.
