I wouldnt start
a fire if i could -
even try to push it hard,
this lighter wouldnt spark.
The universe is tired
but the black shimmered skyward
no sleep for the crooked man if
something wicked took the dark.
Why would something so lovely
be so ugly
be so cruel?
why should nothing show something
we know nothing?
yeah
the blood begins to pool.
A STAR COLORED HER
LIKE OUTLINES OF THE SUNLESS CURVE
SHE ALWAYS CALLED THE HORIZON
I WISH I WERE HER
TEACH ME
TO FERMENT
I WISH I COULD LEARN
I NEVER FUCKING LEARN
I JUST LIE HERE WATCHING HER
WATCHING THE WORLD BURN
I PULL THE STARS
FROM EVERYONE;
WE ARE EVERYTHING WE ARE
AND WILL BECOME.
TIME WOULD DEPART
FROM PENDULUMS;
RESTART EVERYTHING WE ARENT,
JUST ENDING US
SHE ISNT ANYTHING TO ME,
AND NEVER WAS
SHE ISNT ANYTHING YOU NEED,
AND NEVER WAS
WE SLIP IN SPECIAL DREAMS TO SLEEP
HER CHEST LOSES ITS COLOR
SHE KISSES ANYTHING FOOLISH.
ANYTHING YOU KISS
WEARS A DEVIL TONGUE
MERRILY STUPID
SPARE US FROM
EVERYONE.
YOU KNOW I NEED YOUR DARKNESS
YOU KNOW I WEEP FOR OUR HEADS HAIRLESS CURE
DEAR SUNNY GREEN EYES,
IN HERE; NOTHING BUT THE DREAM DIES
WHO KNOWS WHY WE MOURN A CARCASS?
WHO KNOWS WHY SHE WORE DARKNESS WHERE LIPS WERE.
CLEAR HONEY SWEET SKIES
APPEAR; LOVELY SUN, YEAH, SCREAMS LIGHT,
Two ghosts light, each,
a cigarette
with the heat of this burning,
and vaunt,
panoptic combusting annulus
two bones lie, bleached,
underdressed,
indiscreet, and deserving
of god-
as toxins constructed canorous
song.
