Surround me in circles venusian halos You are a sphere for me take in take out while I, buried breath cower like a dead spider in a coffin far too large

You are a sphere for me
I saw him there under the treeroots lurking It was dark thereunder, but he beckoned darker                              *Still your rotting mouth                              Shut your eldritch eyes,                              or everywhere you'll see him* I saw him by night in my window screaming He had his owlface on with eyes like nectar-filled lamps                             *Turn away your brittle body                             Draw the covers to your chin                             and bear the beak in mind* I saw him on Sunday in the churchyard digging He laid the bones of my Father in the wet wormsoil for marrow cracked and clean                             *Stand still your writhen legs                             You cast a shadow over him,                             and he reaches up towards it* I saw him on the strand in my lover's face seething He took my lips in his and breathed into me her still beating embers I walked the path back alone, full of ash I went to my knees at the altar and tried to ***** I saw him in the steepled tower by me standing He opened his mouth and whispered the words I craved to hear I stood over their graves and cast no shadow

Cast No Shadow
I am a babe suckling milk from the breast It is bland It is benign With each new experience it becomes less so it grows a taste It is bitter It is sweet I grow my teeth and begin to eat the meat of it It is so rich that I ***** it back up There is none left I eat the ***** until my body accustoms itself I grow strong on it It twists in my gut: a white Worm with its tail in its jaws My teeth and fingernails are yellow with it My eyes and lips are crusty with it too I grow my mind and begin to see the heart of it It is vibrant It is alive I fear to eat it I sit at the table set it with ****** cloth and cannibalize myself I realize I am eternal go to bed weeping and share me with myself: My **** is potency My **** is caprice I love myself We lie close and examine the heart of it It is grey It is dead I eat it without fear

The Heart of It
All is same, sudden, and fast Life is taken I don't want something that can be taken Love is life *** is life Life is irresistible because it's not death Death is always Death is unchanging A blanket soaked in chloroform that you may wrap about your body to suffocate in stale comfort Throw it off to **** Throw it off to lose yourself in burning clarity in the flesh of another But that can be taken

Clarity
Drawn up in fogskirts blind eye belights treecrowns silvered needles wherethrough motes and embers dance like ice and blood

The moon hangs above me beclouded A pupil behind a milky cataract He knows night's words When he tells me them my eyes roll to whites My succubus drapes herself over me Her snakehair is such a mess They tell me love's words while biting at her ******* That woman is there in the window again black backlit cutout by yellow light so nicely framed She dances without moving I throw a rock at her window, and she stays motionless I flee terrified The winter forest draws snug its blanket snow unspoiled by track or trail My breath is smoke on the air The wastelands burn about me bergs of ***** bone They tell me of secret grottos in cool underground wherein water drip drip drips onto tombstones forever muted My longing lips crack and bleed My sunblind eyes drift skyward I scream for the vulture my friend to fly me down there

Night's Words
Witchy witch your hair swirls about like an ash-filled firestorm Lips of razored glass cut my throat and my cry of pleasure is a coughing bloodspray Witchy witch I thought I'll take you naked in boiling cauldronwater wet hair skeining over ******* shadowcupped like two ripe halfmoons I knew your hair was red down there too and in you I'm burning until my skinnerves are eaten and I can feel naught but in you I take your hair like Fenrir's fireleash and pull me deeper into your fleshrose Witchy witch I thought your throaty cries meant I'd tamed you I thought I am dead because you are flown and with you life Witchy witch come back sometime with wings of heady night I wait for you dead

Witchy Witch
Blooming seeds you had on your tongue when I kissed you on the streetcorner in blaring sunlight I wanted to taste them, and later recalled how thin you felt your ******* against my chest subtle enough but I pulled back The lightpond where I sat that's the place where shimmerish fish float the smoky air You caught one and got drunk on its blood That ***** look I'd never seen you wear as you took my lips in yours and when your bloodrough tongue touched mine the seeds were grown "Sommersprossen," I whispered into your mouth as you bit off my lip Thereafter in your starry room you took your knife and I mine *"Ich bin allein Bereust du? Wirst du?"* Our hearts in our hands spat their deathred mess and soaked the sheets Drunk on each other with lips cherryred to you I whispered and to me you, *"Dû bist mîn Ih bin dîn"*

Summerseeds
My body is a taut wire thrumming like insect-wings shaking with encaged force I would like you to sweep-pick my skin's every nerve in a heartbeat

There is glass all around it is so clear that I cannot see if it is there or not It is so shifting that I can push my hand against and feel the outside through it There is glass all around It is so porous that I can press my nose against and smell her perfume through it the echo of a scent There is glass all around It bends when I run at it punch it scream at it vibrates in the aftershock as I sit in a pool of spent rage and watch her billowing beyond the glass an aftersight echoing
