I Want Nothing, I Want It All…

Like dogs with a gnarled stick, if, when, we do depart Once we've separated, save a piece of my heart It might be a misshapen, serrated, shard But please darling, don't just completely disregard. Take a small portion, which may well be all that's left Once the owl, into a darkened tree hole lands-deft Clutching what dead remains nourishment-pelleted Skeletal fragments a host of bones ferreted. I won't bite; I won't hoot and holler anymore Don't be shy; I've no energy to fight tooth & claw, Take all, the house, the car the hangings on the wall, Don't be spiteful, I want nothing, I want it all…
