365 Days of Poetry: Day Two-Hundred and Eighteen

Inspired by Marko’s Smile, by Margaurite Yourcenar.

“Am I to be your slave?”
“You are no more than a goat.”
“You didn’t say that last night!”
“I was drunk, didn’t know.”

“Am I to be your muse?”
“You wouldn’t know if you shit.”
“Maybe I’ll make you eat some!”
“You don’t have the balls for it.”

“Am I to be your love?”
“Only in the darkest hours.”
“I thought you were a Christian!”
“My faith long ago soured.”
