On the Way to Szarvas
by Arlo Voorhees
I saw a mutilated deer carcass.
Black birds rummaged through the carnage
with their pitchfork beaks like winos
picking a dead man's pockets for change.
I thought of you, snapping juicy tendons
of our bloody, burnt-out roadkill love,
and although the image was adorable,
(your red fangs and delicate fork)
I think it’s time I told you that
every time you try and kiss me
I try to kill you with my tongue.
