Horrific h ea rt
angelic absence

cold thighs
r e d lips

hyperventilating under plastic
convulsing as
dark eyes bulge
nails scratch at tile
as you o p e n me up.

precious memory

consuming

beneath dark waters

I dwell upon your knife. desperate.
necrosis. hemorrhaging under the surface.
you spill your warm hate upon my breast.
breeding concupiscence.
frigid and blue.
veins
surface.
{
turgid
engorged
stabbing into the deepest places
blood sprinkled over
milky flesh, the color of magnolias.
dilate. disgorge.
pupils pulse under
cornea catacombs.

like a honey bee to the
red nectar
 of a
broken flower
twisted and wrecked
my petals
unfold


consuming

beneath dark waters


foaming white at the corners. comatose.
I give you nothing.

capillaries tingle with an old echo.
insurmountable
it bleeds so easily
succubus
into your purity.
feeding from the wound.
fracturing my otiose heart
prom. ace.
make it perfect this time.

volatile visages
rotting bones polluting.
Infecting the core. corrupting the soul.
contaminated. sea water leaking into the cracks.
my hair lay upon my face. luminary.
wet & black.

consuming

beneath dark waters


lll kisses linger on a morbid mouth
acrid beauty decay my reverie
the susurration from my lips
                   vacant
an exquisite patina
alight in the gloaming

slaughter of the dove

take me gently always
redeemer
pressing your thumbs into my throat
to feel the beating wane

stars observing the delicate remorse

consuming

beneath dark waters


veneration for an absent shadow
I drink from your hollow hole

the one I didn’t fit.
& smile as
              I cut the pieces.
