Twisted fiction, sick addiction, well gather round children- zip it, listen!

You think excitement has receded, then the mirror distracts. The logic of the trends quickly reaches and grasps. Handsome & faceless, & weightless your imagination runs.

What we lost was equal to the cause, put my skin on yours and say you want it back.

Violence, it ripped through the old dogwood fence. See the hope, see it unravel.

Your love is stag in the white sand; oasis child, born & so wild, don’t I know you better than the rest?

I like your looks when you get mean, I know I shouldn’t say so but when you claw me like a cat, I’m beaming.

And I, I’m the carnival of peace, I’ll probably start a fleet with no apologies.

I wanted to explode, to pull my ribs apart & let the sun inside. Red stain blossoms, & all you have is kisses.
