Monster [blackened, dry, wasted]

By kiss of the dark


You feed upon the dark, red
rainbows of my cuts;
Your celebrated feast of flesh
and broken teeth.

You cast your shadowed apparitions
into my stone face;
The black origin of a raped happiness.

MONSTER.

Your rich, salted, sinister tears
fall onto my hands, leaving ivory
mildew on my jagged nails;
Your string of emulation pearls.

Blackened, dry, wasted...

I am persecuted and hung in
my heavy, grey nightmares;...

Terrors of carved, rotting clouds.

Paper dresses soaked in blood.

Sodomy under the Christmas tree.

And with this mental cyst,
attached to my bitten wrists...

...I am declared your self-righteous cadaver.
