I’ll need you all to listen to me carefully this evening. It is so important, imperative that you obey my commands
Now
We may begin.
Everyone take a deep breath. Now hold it. Good
This is the moment This is the show This is the pulp The nectar The ooze The Sector The Muse The blood The spit The Mud The Slit
The bile Or so vile
Gargling in the mouths of disdain usurpers Frolicking in the seas of infected flesh Mounting the pale demons of incestuous claim Passing the threshold Of Mammon and his friends
Stop.
What’s this?
Oh my ladies and gentlemen, something new.
Something spectacular
Something…Well I’ll let you see.
Take the Stage my troupe, my thespian brethren!
Broken Promises have been spread Shards of glass have been shed The wine is wasted and the houses burned The candles ignited for all who earn
The whip; the leather; the oh so feather The lip; the dip, all together THE WHIP; THE LEATHER; THE OH SO FEATHER THE LIP; THE DIP, ALL TOGETHER
Honey, why are you out of your room? Father, stop it please! Mother isn’t here That’s just silly
The twig people of Salem beckon your soul
All I’m tempted to give it to them
Is, after all just wasting away in the jar
I have
On the wall
Those people who said they loved you? They lied
That lover who pledged their life to you They lied
The one who hurt you? They told the truth.
These insane and poignant ballet dancers all jumping and twirling on the astral stage See them light the way for all to enjoy?
When evil invades your senses, leaving you numb while they have their way with your body.
We can escape to the place.
You can come with me.
Yes you madam.
Yes I know you and you know me.
Yes take my hand.
Leave your body behind
You can’t take it with you while it’s being ripped in half
Yes, this way
Take center stage.
This is my gift to you.
See the lights, the performers, the musicians and the audience?
They are here for you. They will do what you will. Let us cancel out the effect of that unspoken abuse.
What will you do?
What shall be the fill to the emptiness?
What shall you compose for my droogs, minions and fairies to perform?
Let it be your own. Let it be your all
Let it be everything you’ve wanted Let it soar
Let it pierce your heart with relief With joy
With unfathomable majesty and sweeping emotion With ubiquitous elegance and compelling tenacity With resonating passion and relentless captivation
Let it be unique
Let it be something
Something that will release those tears you’ve held back
Something that shivers the body
That will leave your bones in ache, making us feel alive
Something the angels will hear and accept it is more glorious than them
Something heavenly
Something lovely and positivity radiant; like you the goddess of all things in our world. The world that has only mattered to us. The one that is our own.
For the one in my arms
For the one that is forever gone.
Let it be
Something beautiful.
This performance is dedicated to my departed friend Sabrina. Thank you all for being here.
