I Broke

I tore into her
like a coyote its hare
rent her kindling thin collarbone with my rough cat's tongue
tilled the furrowed rows of her ribs
buckled her
drew iron hot
   and fast
      god so fast

smote her as it were
were I Divinity (and not just a shameful man)
lorded over her
threw her into long wet fits
belabored breath
into summer storm slick canyon trails
where moonlight does not crawl
where starlight does not taste

I broke her hard, you see
no tickling soft whisper
no slow brook slithering through a silent wood
no pleasure horse too dope to buck
I broke her
   and fast
      she broke me.
