Conversation

You said lay down your weapons and I laid myself
across the threshold of your door.
I have come here sharp and honed, with my mouth
full of battle hymns and holy words
for you to surrender to. I lay
my arms down for you to pick up, I strike when
you’re distracted to get to the heart of the matter.
We’re both down. Your pillow sheet a white flag
we ignore.
