the oil machine
whirs, stirs
as naked, *****
lust filled bodies
turn
on bedsides
pleasure
in their spiritless
behinds
oil seeps,
a lethal snake-
pain these bodies
cannot take
as it runs through their
pulsing veins
immaculate temples
stripped by the stars
of the night
their delicate beauty, marred
snatched lotus flowers
crushed in the hands
of affection
oil drips
from dark hearts
broken cities
of love
forgotten, abandoned
its architect-reality
a tale of two worlds

(b.d.s.)
