girlcum drips from ripped fishnets teardrops stain the wet cement careful sweetie your mascara's running you smoke the night's last cigarette you scroll through instagram one more time i promised you a place where you wouldn't feel pain anymore i'm sorry, but this is the next best thing i see both sides like Tiresias i'm the queen in the land of the one-eyed if you step on fucking snakes around here said if you step on fucking snakes around here you're sucking dick behind the Chevron i'm siphoning gas out people's cars i'm doing skateboard tricks in the Panopticon mass surveillance of these sick flips i asked you to take me home you just dropped in the elysian fields told the shades take all you can carry from the land of the dead peel back the thin layer of her phosphorescent skin get drunk on the bioluminescence found within i'm drinking mezcal with the Myrmidons in the Aegean Sea i'm smoking Newports with the Minotaur in Crete lost in the undulating arabesques of cum and piss that tiptoe through your crustacean mind prostrate yourself in front of the window full of body parts ask it questions it can never answer watch the disemboweled voices chase you through the streets it's a two bedroom apartment it's a cry no one heard it's the lyre of Orpheus it's a prorated passion it's a maxed-out credit card it's the witching hour it's an escalator handrail it's bones in the river Styx it's an airport shuttle it's Eurydice's last cry it's a cul-de-sac driveway it's a strange and divine perfume it's a software update it's a handgun in the glovebox it's a CIA blacksite it's an endless maze it's a Soviet signal it's a lost bus pass it's pillars reaching into the sky it's a trick of the light it's the left hand of God it's divine madness it's a flower in the sidewalk it's the entire body held in the palm of your hand.

about

"For beauty is nothing / but the beginning of terror, which we still are just able to / endure, / and we are so awed because it serenely disdains / to annihilate us." - Rainer Maria Rilke, Die Erste Elegie
