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
unlay lit
lay unlit

Necro.spider.phobia.philia...I didn't feel safe at all reading this. Down deep, dark hollows this one plumbs. A predatory journey wrought in blackhearted iron, a difficult & sticky situation to climb out of. I think it's one of your very best.

...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!
