smile your big black
ouija board smile
while the horal cuckoo of the clock
smiles its guarantee.

your voice ensnares
my entire body & puckers
time into small folds and wrinkles that
dispassionately tease me.

i watch a cockroach crawl up
the foreleg of a stagnant sea
and see your years play out in only minutes
in whole shoals of lunacy.

i think back to the day i
first felt your infatuate spark
in my heart. you were a damnable destination, you were
a guillotine guarantee.

I like this a helluva lot.

the language at first struck me as rather dramatic, until I thought of all of the "guillotine guarantees" that I have found irresistable in the past! (now, I find it understated! )

Nice work here...enjoyed!

A vivid and compelling look at another "road to nowhere"

is sometimes, intolerable.

A broken heart is always dramatic. Rocked.
