DarkPoetry -|- Mylissa -|- Making love to a mannequin.

Making love to a mannequin.

Split-lip romance,
lost in the taste of
burning milk cartons.

Lashes line
laughter along the canvas
of perverse pupils. a thirst so numb.

While making love to him {is more-
so} like making love to a mannequin.
beautiful to the sight. shallow to the touch.

As my heart-beat
is broken in pulp-
fiction fraternities,

and
nothing
breathes
the
same
tonight.

Why am I breaking under
his disguise, unable to connect
four without the multiplication of two?

As I still wish he
could catch my cries, in the
callus plastic of praying palms.

So we may believe in our emotions
and not the realization of our penetrating truth.
that maybe he is just a 'dead' fuck.

I am left speechless. This is so captivating...the way the words play into the sense, and wrap up the feelings so perfectly on into that last stanza...perfection.

some unbelieveable imagery floats through this one, all manner of fractious and fractured concepts seem to meld into a soft unerbelly of rich and startling emotions: a 'dead fuck made me shiver and not because it's cold

I may be twisted... but "callus plastic of praying palms" made the mannequin in this become a caricature of Jesus to me... I guess that would make the persona Mary Magdalen? Sacrilege!!
