THEY MADE US EMPERORS

although there didn't seem much point-
we had already taken over.


we would go out and drink
and kill, and fuck
moaning with our eyes open
and laughing with our mouths shut.


we closed all the temples,
put all the priests in cages
and you rubbed your finger across my mouth
in front of them.


never mind the teeth we lost-
gums are better to spit with.
