You came in the night put your hands around her cheeks
and yanked her from my nipple or if You didn’t You stole
all the food fed Yourself on the bread I baked
that afternoon grew bigger or if not You hid in the corners
stealing glances of moments You called mistakes warned would ruin
made me shiver or if that wasn’t You You were somewhere all the time
getting closer until in the end I could hear You whisper feel my hair
parting for Your breath and when You came to face us I wouldn’t say
You were black shadow more the sharp winter light stabbing
through the windscreen on an early morning drive sending me
swerving burning my eyes
