decayed and demonically intelligent

By Corinthian




















arborescent sun
climbing ropes


and
you
like my temples flames
have tied me to your ankles




may you cross the floor
every day on your knees
dragging your pentacle and thorns 
to
see how you like it







there is no sky 
there is no sky 



lord
night 
hide me like a wind
in the darque
playing peek and blind 


and when the space
will be warm
and silky between us
you will like my breath
near your collar bone



swing
swing
in my sequined cradle



follow the
paws of men 
in the snow.



leaves  ,words , tears , and tinned star 


and
I
dont
know
enough
words in your language
for this


but I always
calmed you well



cooled your forehead 

but



crying was a sin
in
prayer 






dumb
mouths
croaking
sucking
tears of mercury 


hiding herbs
in my glossy skin
and
sighs stranded
on liquid rust

scroll and powder
the swelling
the trembling
lights to lights




wrap a needle
up in the salted earth
In hatred


the creatures
subject to me will
not be known to you
by the quiet silence on my chest
and a belly full of snow 



I attempt to reconquer my worth 








today
Im lost and lonely
baby

I can not wait to wake up the dead

    ...the word 'death' should be stricken from dictionaries, from vocabulary, & replaced with AfterLife, which has a desirable & utopian connotation...

    Not sure what I just experienced but it wrapped me up from the beginning and won't let me go: from the religious, to the profane, and the sensual - images uniquely you own, with a belly full of snow - cheers Cori!

    Brutal work of most adept and devious black efficiency.I cannot comment other than that but to say I thought it rather genius.
