To My Enemy
Posted by Julia Wald
Will I attain unto your brilliance?
I’m in your mangled foreign hands
Teach me everything you can
You hate me, want to escape me
You should embrace me, and I’ll embrace you
This, if only for a day would be so dandy:
If when I asked you to, you’d be my candy
My little sweet, I’d suck you in to meet
The insides of my mouth
Dark places where I scream and shout
You won’t want to be let out
Is that too crass?
It’s as though your body’s made of mirrored glass
And I am trying hard to see myself
