like a name

It grabbed

me like a name, went through

me like thread through Its needle, convinced

me the blood inside was a myth sung to

me, It clung

to me

like a bay to the dog, like

the rhythm in my sixth sense n my drum

beat in It. It swallowed

me, It ate

me like my swag, my droving,

my easy [       ] infarction through amateur poetry. It ate of

me on the hoof, licked 

me with my tongue 

sensuous n dull

as ditchwater on friday morning.
