There was a trail of death
I left behind… Enchanted by you
Strung along those ashes,
On briny strings
Bludgeon this meat
“A Drink, my love made.”
Squeezed out through pulpy liver,
Bathed our heavy heart
Drip this pure melancholy
The sulfur on your lips
Is mine to behold
And I spread it on your feet
My toxins, your deformities
Beloved! There isn’t a verse
Without your name on it
Beloved! There isn’t a yellow stain
That isn’t shaped like you
The fog succumbed
Your hips have descended
This Earth is too monotonous
For you, for me
I’m leaving
These dead planets
Terraforming
else where
Will you come?
With me
Elsewhere
Somewhere
Where we don’t linger into each other?
