About this audiobook
Worried my love’s not worth much, but I always come when called. Ain’t my name your favorite command? No need to raise your hand. How long you plan on marauding me with meak mercies: I’m still bandaged from your last love: dogged years I’ve knelt at your lap: tongue out, eyes wet and for what: when it’s not your hands on me, it’s your dead come ready to wind up and wound.
