I tattoo you
with my love
I continue
to write the wrongs
I am the inventor
of your creation
I am the antidote
to your poisoning
All I want is for you to
remember these images
So I can twist
and make sense of what has transpired
So I can build a new empire
that will not be disguarded
like the trash you have seen;
so easily we are destroyed and remade
in the form
of our lovers
