white walls, the cackling night, festering liquor, and a chance to break from my landlocked liturgy collapse on the fine-toothed grass.
my head -- a dark carnival of shared substances -- smolders at the grind of its gears, as my Black Venom mistress dribbles drunkspeak for an hour, and aimless boys find holographic truth in a hallucinagenic bathroom -- "we should mean less than this."
close the door to bedroom crypt-- "you've got to die to be born again"-- Black Venom undresses me while the shutters of perception rattle open, then closed, open, closed, open-- a grey wind and erratic desire fire, fall, pant, realign to destroy body in the name of a newness to follow-- if I'm mad, I'm quite good at it-- if I'm sane, I have no intention of staying that way.
