The death romantic

There is a sound that
escapes this town
makes a soul deskin
and favor the void
it has not yet been
living
in

steady as she goes
the death romantic
throws the world to the
wind
makes foreign particles of
light
blend
in

with i were i without you now
sea shallow
boned-marrow
frown
bury your heart
to begin aga
in.

In the guise of love

Falter against broken altar
knees bruised and bloodied, red
how far we have crawled
to have come not far at all.

Continue passing judgement.
Perpetuate your mythology.
Exclude all who do not accept.
Disseminate hate
all in the guise of love.

A memory

Let me please you, so that i might forget to
please me
let me be the ice that picks
you forever free
let me pass through this world
a memory.

Ever

Ever
i were on your wind
a flyer gliding
an atom warming

the call
it will never end
to take sides
to choose a friend

smile
a vile sign of an empty mind
an abuser's crime -
would you look at the time?

dive
as the lies
and the truths
pass through you.

Flicker

When i was on fire
i burned for you

and once ashen,
i would, in a certain fashion,
rekindle the flame
so as to never fade,
to forever
flicker
in your
wild wind,

to be the same.
