When we ran out of Malt and Barley...

Tables sticky with mash; our mash
that remains un-distilled but fermented,
and there's still a fire not lit, a bar
not burned to the ground.
I'm holding Vintage; upped on
floor grease after looking for your face
and it wasn't there, not there
for me to swipe with a knife.
I want to cut you in two,
make you bleed down the middle
of our kitchen; smash wine
bottles on those old ancestral counters,
and make mincemeat pie out of your heart.
I know your aorta never worked; if it
did, you would've gushed from my
shattered stabs of love; would have
screamed pleasure in my apartment.
Doors are caved in with dents; hinges that
weren't meant to be torn apart,
and I'm still holding a match up to
a cracked bulb and wondering
if my fingers can take the heat.
No matter the singes I get, I
can't keep count of the lights.
