you pulled my eyelids over their shades held my elbows on the nightstand abruptly kicking the sofa with one small step and numbly cursing bloody toes for they know not of thinking as you do look stupid in those clothes stepping into the night not unconvicingly half dressed as Death half divided in shredded lives you would claim these as your own pure sight of confidence I saw you kill the reaches of a curious hand I could not look away I could not recoil as a serpent the tree blocks my vision so wide is its unleavened breadth slowing down the rhythm of day breaking open shells choking on hoarse apple seeds vomiting indigo blood crepuscular veins of golden hue kick my eyeballs shut the sockets of my skull impregnated with the devil’s son i weep in the clockwork orange [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (06-12-2002 06:12 PM).] |
