Mirror-Kissers

A poem about the trials and tribulations of the Greco-Bactrian Kingdoms.

I fell asleep standing up

Blitzed in some foreign place

We awoke face-to-face

 

Lost in a different language

My ever worthless tongue found

We awoke mouth-to-mouth

 

A realm:

Where pretty girls

don’t bother with words.

Every vanity grandized

Every mirror polished

And every reflection,

sick with beauty.

 

I’ll always prefer a plastic-princess--

bathed in youth and innocence�"

to those crusted crones that

inhabit every cynical, cancerous crack

 

I’ll gladly slave away for innocents,

like that Wolf.

The one that blows,

or the one that plays dress-up

just to get a little girl.

Either way,

The beast has great taste.

 

I lay my head on your chest.

Passed-out in front of the fan.

We awoke hand-in-hand

 

I fell asleep in your dream

So it was of no surprise,

when we awoke eye-to-eye.

"I’ll gladly slave away for innocents,
like that Wolf.
The one that blows,
or the one that plays dress-up
just to get a little girl.
Either way,
The beast has great taste." Amazing - as always!

Greco-Bactrain Kingdoms.... interesting analogy.

eye to eye or face to face, it'll all wind up decided by a flip of a coin in any realm.

[No use.]

left me intrigued and twisted in the tales of the ugly and the beautiful once again
