totem
however many words of love
blanket your lovechild’s bed
there is always one toe isn’t there
sticking out cold but glowing red
never condescending to be covered
its independence a kick in the head
or a starting pistol of a look suspended
lost as to where and when and shred
‘tuck it’ you say that brings a smile
but sometimes you wish that you were dead
