Draconian Negligees

by martin-narrod

There is no dust to settle, Two days from land and we are not ready, The whole year to prepare- poppy seed afternoons 6:00p.m. morning drunks to corroborate nightmare memories. Where are the aches and the sick bending bone-like threads of This corpse who romances sallow and pallid warlocks. Interior flesh ministries unveil festering sexual horrors. To not go out means chain smoking reds inside. Plaster the monster over my face so I cannot breathe. Then the unabashed words can take to the road with pitch forks and Long, drawn-out misunderstanding. I eat salmonella for preference. Ashes and soot and dirt and history sew its film atop every surface. This is not what I thought they meant by life on a deserted island. There is only me and I am still curious to see if I am advantageous. Finally they do not wont of me. This is the sorcery I have been executing In poor forms until this precise moment of lascivious loathe. If you cannot understand this I am serving the greater good. It is worse to Misunderstand than not know at all. Let your small hands to the sides of My face and your eyelashes rest atop my head. Lips inside hair. With precision I extract pearls from your saltwater tomb. I set the peas to our bed.
