Relationships Can be Bestial

Pacing the stairs and hallways like a caged animal,
Up-down, up-down
Measuring the steps of your despair,
Marking the range of your desperation.
Testing the boundaries of our love
With claw and muscle and growl,
Limbs and gestures drawing the line
Between captive and captor.
Maybe you’re not made for hoops,
For obligations and commitments
The mortgage of your heart yokes you,
Like the cracked whip, marital vows
Make you wince and bare fangs
Turning your sex impotent, but not your rage.
Here, then, the key in the lock,
The door flung open
Yet you cower in the corner,
Rightly frightened of the
Vast freedoms that await,
And the loss of the comforting stall.
