why forgiving you is hard.
it whispers playful musings it sings songs-- like an old friend-- it sings songs it muses about the end it is the dilemma in knowing that the drink which leaves you frothing at the mouth bleeding out the eyes tastes like the best worst thing tastes like the most saccharine-- it is the agony in knowing that to drink it once means to leave something unsaid to leave the door open and the gas on to leave the static buzzing and a baby crying and the faucet running and someone wondering--

obscure sorrow no. 4
Boogie oogie oogie man flashing, grinning, dancing man bearing teeth gnashing, gnashing, gnawing meat SPOOK-y man with your grin that holds ten thousand teeth and your chin from which red blood drips sticky and sweet BOO! Boogie oogie oogie, Mr. Boogie man Dance with limbs that twist and bend and snap and crack and thwip and thwack Snap-- your fingers, Mr. Boogie man! And slap your thighs And clap your hands Won't you join me in this dance? And won't you stroke my face? And kiss my cheek? And bite my neck? And drink my red blood so sweet? And won't you, with your ten thousand teeth, devour my heart as you feast, feast feast... Oh, Mr. Boogie oogie oogie man Let us dance the night away! Your broken fingers can hold my back as my snapping bones go thwack, thwack, thwack And I'll wipe the blood from my eyes And I'll wipe the tears from my heart And we'll boogie oogie oogie Til death lets me part
