Weekly Sonnet 41

My Last Crush

Layer the stones profusely upon me;
Organs fail and yet I say to, “Bring more.”
Vicerit me sed ubi amor est?
Ego sum.  Took the rings off my fingers

and there’
s nothing left to say.  But for jest,
I know it’
s something humorous, lingers.
Mark my admiration: this or this or
this...(O ni bikkuri shakkuri to!)
The clotting on my bloody cornea
unwashed by your holy rain. I
m crazy!

All this would I be—I have no “Mea
culpa.”—if I’d
marry you.  I see, show
the bursting from uranium fissures,
I cut out my heart with safety scissors.
