Jackals and blood clots,
Spiritual lycanthropy
And emotional catalepsy.
Heresies within heresies,
wheels within wheels,
The knife of a womb still killing, still feeding
On poetic abortions.
Deliverance from evil,
Blinding of the eyes,
Ashes and soot rain to the earth
Promising a winter monsoon to suffocate the lands
And flood them with famine.
You are my greatest flaw, my sweetest addiction.

In my passion for art,
I contend a silent jihad
With my rusted blood.

I hold in my hands
The twilight bloom of my heart,
The crystalline tears, like melted stardust
That I bleed in my deepest prison of loneliness.
On these rusted wings I descend into subtleties
And chemical distractions,
Slave to my disease
Of weakness and frailty.
