And what is there to say
And what am I to talk of
But the crackers we ate
On the blanket in the park
And lips
Your lips, beloved
Crusted with ******* crumbs and gloss
Touching mine
And then we laugh and things brush
And prickles on my skin rise
RISE RISE
Until
I open my eyes
And I see the spider
In the corner or my room
Across from my bed in the dark
Alone in his web and his poison
And he crawls and he spits
And he claws until he bleeds
At the inevitable and damnable
Future of solitude he is, he is.
Shivers of moon wind
Brush the blinds and I cough
Sending the spider again, up
Hidden in the depth of his silk
And alone I sit
And alone I smile
And alone my teeth are white
I stand naked in the night
And the haunted air licks
Everywhere that it owns
For I am it's and I am Devine
Dry fingers pull up the blinds
And shhhh slowly slide up the window
And the moon above honors me
With a glance and in it's eyes I see hate.
So I laugh and fight the shiver
As hard as I fight the future
And I scream to Black
I am yours, beloved, and you are mine.
