depth perception: limbs like brushes, black lungs scraped for paint. this is how a creature is made: stealing far too much time away in thoughts, a worm, in a book or in a grave I’d imagine a fatal infection feels the same. fiends that are hooks surrounding me attached to my graves are spending far too much time away in sleeping books that I read directly to them they dont ******* listen interpreting my words their own way while I have been just waiting waiting to be carried away caligulas mark a blurry cross hammering christian screams into pulpits maiming all these ******* fiends all that were dear to me swinging gallows with a belt, missing me and hammering freely im not like them, I’m not free stirring in indecision while I watch myself bleed dwelling in solitary secrecy. what is left to see there is nothing although there is this wind, as the metal eagle settles into skin, a sunburst of splatter against a backdrop of sin falling thru a mouth u opened and took away stretching a canvas onto rusted coral grids beneath a bridge white wind flourishing conscious waves of traffic electric stops and starts This is it floating from limbo into static human art the summer on pavement the winter is red abstract and unrequited bones out of mouth trailing a perfunctory rainbow spout bones and jelly spread perfectly an imperfect message but full of colors lead on a leash through the pavement from pleading dry bread lips that before were sewn shut in small cracks in rubble and filth, the ***** blooming black flowers too soon, or too soft bloated fingers wave rubber burned red at what could have been eyes setting fire to this consecrated patch of regret amused as they struggle in all the clustered corners of alleyways downtown standing in the open devils chasing dragons leaving their offspring in the garbage in a multitude of godless hosts god wont rise with them he says smear them like beacons in remembrance of your long winded comatose at every place where those flowers fight to grow. jesus i swear it’s like Mother Mary’s garden eloped with a self righteous catalyst of chemical throats all sinning reletntlessly immaculate creatures ****** raw by their own ghosts and i know no matter what he says they will never grow they have no souls they will never grow god watches down from empty space stars planets celestial stains with eyes from two kingdoms living the dead is he reading while i write this she said he watches every subtle move we make You see the dead like i do floating over early graves waiting for the forbidden fruit like i do waiting for a small mistake does he understand what the **** im saying or does he only see in black and grey Feeble struggling tongues sliced off brought to bended knee muttering how he speaks: let their tears fall blue and let them pray for red they will never grow green always reaching clandestine from small clusters of flowering leaves at the base of the river Lethe we wont let them forget to struggle forever through purple snaring weeds (As we watch) grey angels drooling godlessness (omniscient breed) soft feline lips begging for a silver drip of water or a touch of ***** sunlight on flawless unbroken skin. he is watching, and the world is dripping from an overflowing belly sun dangling from a cross chain tethered to my dreaming while I am here struggling epiphany manifest in me a new way to **** inhibition, a new depth perception, and a poison to escape this reality
