the witch & i lay by the river.
i held her hair so she wouldnโt fly away.
i whispered:
โi have done everything youโve asked. have i not done everything youโve asked? why have you always,
why have you always hated me?
i have loved nothing & nobody but you.
the smallest grain of sand that youโve given me,
iโve carved into a castle.
the smallest feather,
iโve turned into a flock of birds.
the smallest glance,
i have given you a child.
i have given you all these things.โ
โbut i did not want any of those things,โ said the witch
โwhat is it that you want?โ i asked. โill give you anything you want.โ
the witch turned into a termite & crawled into my ear. she chewed tunnels through my brain & down my throat, through my guts & into my cock. she chewed through every organ & blood vessel.
โnow weโre even,โ she said in her tiny termite voice.
