Gesture
(for artist Francis Bacon)
Spartacus
drinking sherry
still makes the best lover in bed
covers
under livers and hearts
feels his body the best way he knows
and ties his intestines back together
every day
away from light in the small closet
And bones that sit
by the tv
entranced
watch him turn pale aten away
by moths like a large plate of fruit
or stolen heads
stuck through a keyhole
