Out of the gutters running with tears, Of the mother whose child’s blood Clogs the storm drain, Grows — A flower of carnage eating the iron. It is a thing of beauty. Red as a rose, but deadlier; reminiscent of Rouge — Lascivious lips that create Lust. Il es mort. C’est L’amour. I was dead the moment I met you. I present you with the thing of beauty. A bouquet of flowers I pulled from the streets. 'I'll get the vase.'
