Love Poem: Step Stance

Step Stance

Dark chest
inhale your bite
exhale its shadow

wings that twisted pierce
like barbwire
cover your heart

black feet on glass
I watch my spine
still touch me

A raven cries
   give me my nights,
             give me my nights,
                      give me my nights



(I do not have a bad stepmother.  I was just personifying the raven's darkness.  Just the metaphor. )
