(?) you still game (?)

innocent hello/

naked moment of wild lust

 

(!)must possess the pretty pain/must ingest the tangy carrion(!)

 

sudden warm jolt cracks serene ice

:skeptical nosebleed:

 

your tissue paper blue eyes understand too well

 

straightforward symptom of sideways sorts

 

my malfunctioning mysticism:

smoky whisper

turns a stony cheek

to a perfectly empty yesterday

(!)my heart propels a tornado of crowbars and straight razors(!)

 

dream planks disjoint

meaningful clutter

of meaningless noise seeps inward

 

soul drowns in its own waste

waste chokes its own soul

opiate overdoses on reality

 

even as I bleed internally

even as I feel my infant self dying

 

odd 

I still say

that thought was an emotion

 

still say

that lie was a dragon

 

still see more something than nothing

in that pitiful piteous look

on your half-hearted

murder weapon

expression

 

I'm still hungry
