laying here, tipping the edge of hurt

living in precipies

a mongrel of our omniverse

 

an everything, an always

writhing in exquisite pain

limbs caught in quantum vibrato

love breaks me like a hurricane

 

'i can't do this anymore.'

fervic fluid fills my cheeks, bites my tongue and poison leaks

cleans me like vinegar

climbs me: i am a diving board

chokes me: i am a tunnel vision.

'neither can i,'

 

soaring, double barreled

faces split twice in passing

transcontinental herald

bringing nukes for wartime glassing

 

frozen in heat, (me under your lashes)

paralytic stingers, memetic mantas

streets built on statues of ashes

the city's name is how my heart feels

born and raised down in atlantis

 

street sweeper, chastity keeper

honor killings for the dishonorable

inglorious basterd banner: indomitable

building antiempires one bullet at a time

jail's when i think of you

filed-tooth freedom is my crime

 

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG CLIK CLIK CLIK CLIK

 

CHORUS , CHORUS

filling up an empty room

IGNORE US IGNORE US

fear stitched lips, set sail for pending doom

ABHOR US ABHOR US

sausage makers' society

using shotguns like a broom

IT GOES BLACK

IT GOES BLACK

IT GOES BLACK

I MADE THIS FOR YOU.

 

 

heaven is knocking back

fulfilling a promised land:

 

it's astonishing

how our condition will build a pile of bodies

in lieu of a staircase.

reaching up, climbing, crawling,

(every speed on our knees is crawling)

over one another to stand alone

just to know what it's like to be on top

(over the top, to no man's land

three stars to the right and straight on til kristallnacht)

 

stand on the top

of the nothing we've become.
