Widow Mandolin Fur

By Bella Butchery

Lies / sex tape
Blush / razor blade
Heels / frail tile
Nail paint / brail bible
SHE IS SIMPLY A SLAVE TO THE SOUND!
Wig / hallow skull
Dress / neon jungle
Launderette / spider spit
Lip stick / venom bit
SHE IS SIMPLY A SLAVE TO THE CROWD!

...pause...brazen.......silence.....reflect.....

Bella woke from an unearthed grave
Lobster claws and widow legs...
The night froze twilight
In a sky of synthetic smiles...
Trees twist a hallow path
As she felt her rib cage splinter
Into a second set of limbs

The solar system seemed to weep for her
Presence in a forest of blood stained eyes
That pushes along her half eaten abdomen

A TRAGEDY, AND FATES CRUEL MISTRESS!

Sells the crystal tears from her eight eyes
Cataract cornea / diamond web walk
Into a crutched perch, sipping a pink martini

Her face is shrouded in whiteout
Nods a jig for the man in the corner
...A crippled piano note compellation...

SHE POSES, GLIDES HER TORSO TO THE FLOATING NOTES!
Like whitewater to the silhouette pianist



MEMORIES FORGOT IN A SPIN!
THE PAST ERASED IN A GRIN!

He walked webs of ice to take her..
On harpsichord flattery...
Fighting to feel between the binary skin
Only to conjure a pair of yellow eye sockets



And she squints to see truth...
Like sun gazing
For the first time



where is love now?
now that sex and lies are shattered.
where is love now...
please take a bow...


THE IMPLOSION FROM HER SCREAM!
CRASHED PLANETS AND CUT TIME IN A FLIP!
On a de-framed axis only to realize
THERE.. IS .. NOTH--ING. //> LEFT!

Lies / sex tape
Blush / razor blade
Heels / frail tile
Nail paint / brail bible
SHE IS SIMPLY A SLAVE TO THE SOUND!
Wig / hallow skull
Dress / neon jungle
Launderette / spider spit
Lip stick / venom bit
SHE IS SIMPLY A SLAVE TO THE CROWD!


In mid contraction
Time froze / a yolk still birth


LIKE NO-THING EVER EX-ISTED!

    Welcome back, Cloud, it's been too fucking long, do you realise that? :) Loved the way this one rolled. A fantastic, tantalising muse-fucker.

    The imagery is like stop motion, in it's surrealness and overall, freakyness. But freaky in a good way. Your voice seems to have gotten sleaker. Slicker. I can dig. Good to see you posting again. Wicked, wicked write.
