jupiter will suffocate..
under the weight of the raven and the dove..
of the same body..
bullets will break out of their skulls..
knives will break out of their throats..
I will come from inside..
I will come from silence..
snakes from my spine..
made of ghosts and novas..
and fire from my belly..
I will be the hammer..
I will break jennifer with nails..
on her fathers bed..

saturn falls..
incarnations layered through time..
I will tear all his faces from the spheres..
I will pull them under..
I will break their skulls with my fists..
I will clench their throats till they disintegrate..
I will lay hands and their hearts will die..
I have been the phoenix..
I have been the dove..
I have been the dragon..
the angle has been skinned..
I am the liar..
I am the treachery..
bomb on the hand of a clock..
moth aiming for a land mine..

the archer torn apart..
becomes the snake..
breathes water..
becomes the dragon..
purified by water..
drowned by water..
just a few more moments of innocense..
and jessica would have drown by my hands..
my father laid crystals on the base of my spine when I was a child..
building walls..
with the black guardians hiding their faces..
I will break my father apart..
I will find the guardians..
I will bring them to the stream..
I will make them kneel by the river..
I will force their heads under like the anchor bitches in the sink..
all this time hiding in my leg..
I can still feel their ghosts swimming there in me..
hospitals hide their black rooms and saws..
I will baptize them by the neck..
I will force their life from them into the waters..
and remember jennifer..
