Grand Guignol Love (Paula Maxa: la première fois)
By heroineyes
capture butterflies in
discarded mason jars and
make sand castles in the tide
your friends are fake
and my art is dead
wrapped in ribbon on
your doorstep
Herschell Gordon Lewis
officiating the ceremony
(with an incision of embrace)
liberates the bondage of decay
drawn back by a pile of broken tools
and i ask,
"how do i know love"
