I'm growing weary of your crippled horizon,
my rippling sea is a
gaping
innocent
deaf
abyss...

Staring from the depths of your eyes.

Your starry sky is bearing down
like a flesh eating animal..

you lie.



you lie.


I'm a victim moon,
painfully waiting..

to be put into your ingenious calendar
of crazed women.

Running naked
down to the gates of hell,
I'm a bronze memento.

In your
red and black regalia.

You won't break me,
I'll exhale your source,
planting rows and rows of your sorrow
with a hate chisel.

you lie.



you lie.

My daily life
is like a mirrored river bank,
but this pebble knows danger.

Unwatered trees
still stand tall.

And these hands
still hold strong.

The hands which yesterday held the groom's hand,
today
will hold the white cords of your hearse.

Fucking bombadelica, relationshit poetics!! Every line had me thrilled and enthralled and I loved the gap between the "you lie/you lie" sections. Pure brilliance. -Carl

Oh, and a superb ending to the whole piece. Kicking cheatin' male booty outta the chapel and into the grave. Nice one!!

Brilliant! fav lines: "to be put into your ingenious calendar/of crazed women."; narrator must have encountered one of the same losers I did, I'm sure of it. Rage, with depth, emotion captured in diction. great write!

Each "You lie" was like an amplified heartbeat as I read it.. "The hands which yesterday held the groom's hand,today will hold the white cords of your hearse". What a brilliant finish. This is stunning, gorgeous.

~shivers~ This poem is frightening. Your witty without trying to be, and there is a natural rage in this that is so well pronounced and clarified...I love this poem. Wow.
