wants and wants

I bash her on the head
and sink her
into my deepest, darkest dungeon
but she rises
oh
she rises
again, and again
her times of slumber
shorten,
her strength grows

again she rises,
awakening again
and again
I swallow her
with all my will
I push her down—
not yet, not
yet again

could I but promise her
soon
soon, my darling, soon
oh my darling

will soon ever come?
will she ever
fly free?
or must I
deny her an existence
again and again
and again
and oh—
again
