Radioactive warehouse of ****** up memories stacked one on top of the other, higher and higher Threatening to fall Down, down, down Crash! Close your eyes Now, open them You never left this room Eagle claws grasp eggshell brains of polyester and light Don’t drop them! Soaring, screeching, speaking in tongued syllables of animal lore, resounding through the heavens Close your eyes Now, open them You never left this room Fire-ache radiating Hot Snapping brittle bones with rapid fury of noisy chaos Touch me! Don’t touch me! Whisper my name like you hate the taste Close your eyes Now, open them You never left this room **** me sweet with bullets on your lips and my lips the targets Gleaming red in the center of a nameless bull’s eye in some ******** country town Noplace. Close your eyes Now, open them You never left this room Bury me and tell no one, leave me underground, suffocating slowly I will become one with the consuming earth Fading to ashes and food for hungry, blind worms Seeking, seeking, seeking Close your eyes Now, open them You never left this room
