soul mates
in mud pomade
each one half of the other
a headless body
and a bodiless head
two monsters
severed halves of a snake
the head with no heart
ravaged with criminal ambition
and she; the heart; a pulsing ache, headless
made him nauseous with her ceaseless churning
disjuncture of passed and future
a gnashed twig
shattering time
slamming doors in each other's faces
through a disaster of eternities
on a black ash stair case
they ate the light of the world
a death fascination
yet could not die
and all was night
blind oblong
a brailled egg
in a curse of dreams
shadows desperate for love
they never find
snake wedding
