blow a hole in your formaldehyde sanctity
tangled promises, spoonfed

picturesque cradle omens

born with a caul, & sick of it all

already...

this is only the second time i'm faceless in the eyes of the angels,

umbilical mojo.

I'm feeding my veins droplets of fragrant spittle

reflexions of moonlight,

crumbs of perdition.

Taste my tears,

powder'd,

lace & crowfeathers

gastric juices

bruises

the salty wastes of my eyes

are murky visions of

you, only you.

sweet one

goodnight.

stained glass
pale wings shatter
full of holes...
weave seams
smell of being born dead
fruit rotting in the womb.

---~*~---

court the half perceived beyond
empty wallet & an empty heart
one kiss short of punchdrunk on you,
brimstone & beer.
fallen glory, bleeding blue memories.

---~*~---

crack seed scorn
wishbone debris
candy blood.
altar to slash, crash & burn.
open to let the spirit drip free
reborn.
a death by excrement
i got to transcend regret & my own history
hanging from the Space Needle
fighting back mockery & condemnation, spittle & prayers
keep me off your pedestal
I'll rip these wings right off of me
& fall to chaos.
