[Drowning Orchids] a poem





I regret the day you melted under
the intensity of my love-

-I water my Orchids until they drown;
 this is the only way I know to love;
Pygmalion seeking Galatea’s heart to glow mad,
grow stag,
 beat furiously with intent to never want
 to know the end of that sudden electric pulse-


Dontrell Lovet't
-from [The Paper Womb II]
