The Push

by Jim Kopetz


She pushed,
my love away.

She moved,
from where I lay.

And her touch,
how it made me.
She carved
herself.

Into my bedspread.
And my back.
As she dug in,
less than love,
more than hatred.

So I tried,
to pick up.
All the paces,
and I faltered.

All the wine,
as if lilac.
Such necter,
such poison.

It's obscene,
when these daydreams,
become shelter.
