Halo as in Halo

Halo as in Halo

A Poem by eli mercuree rue

I feel like
sticking tampons [iNmy]
iEyes to have aa close.r
view of them swelling
protruding

in.flicting the
aureoles
with the choice
to choose or
not to choose
to stand erect
and watch this
display

this
heroism
pan out and
over
_______

under

the [un]outted
colossal
of what is
better identified
as dignity

experience
this degradation
of self
and self’s
parts
cause self
doesn’t see
self
slipping
out of the
zoooooooooone

the surreal|nor|the benign

into
just plain
asinine
see

self
asked
for
orange peels
and green leaves
on
self’s
left toe


self said
“let there be”


and there was

self is indeed
deity to me

even if self’s
halo
is yoked around self’s
neck



self needs not to survive
to be alive

eli mercuree rue
i have a strange affection for germans
and calling on myself with a tone as if im calling on a god

my body is a temple
that likes to be plugged

hahahaah

Two tampons see each other on the street.
Which one waves?
Neither.
They're both stuck up c***s.

(author's note)

this is f*****g great

"self
asked
for
orange peels
and green leaves
on
self's
left toe


self said
"let there be"


and there was

self is indeed
deity to me"

there's something for everyone here
comedy
and erm
non-comedy

This is a lot heavier:

"even if self's
halo
is yoked around self's
neck



self needs not to survive
to be alive" - goodness as a burden, as the thing that will kill us

[like a noose]

?

the last two lines
not sure if to be taken literally

or more like
getting off
on feeling s**t

happy being sad

I'm envious
you can get high whenever you want
and free-fall
into oceans
bobbing
amongst the other divine poets

cos that what you are dude

i only say dude to you
and sometimes cherry centres

you are contagious
and i'm glad to be infected
if it means i get to read
this hazy drawl
of y'alls

it genuinely distorts the mind
the way you write
the mind adjusts fast
or maybe just for the crazies
with ze voices

i'll shut up now

this is the stuff you write
just
to avoid doing coursework

uh oh turning green

am i the Hulk
or just j e a l o u s [y]
