Ischemia

Wake up widows
another lover has died today.
Open your lungs
indifferently and just breathe
for the insects will always run deep.
Shed tears; ecdysis
and collapse into sleep.
Repeat and repeat
for the insects will always run deep.
Sun rise, sun set,
a second skin palimpsest
and of incest and abstinence
I feel nothing.
These insects form an orchestra
of monotonous songs,
crescendos decay
to a cognitive drone.
A dirge, a lullaby, a coma, a sleep,
for the insects will always run deep.

The Torn Horse

|
Nude the bellows of this city show
as the torn horse staggers down desolate streets.
Charred slough hangs
grace the mothers of ashes,
a fragile hand caresses her trembling cheek.
Hold me, hold closely
that which once had stood as your son;
scattered dust to the hooves spurred on by Manhattan.
Eyes lulled in a socketless skull,
foul breath on flailing tongues,
a shrill cry, fallen.
Enola, I have seen your love.

Ungeziefer
05:22
|

|
Like new born fauns, forlorn,
running towards the headlights.
I fear the night
but I'll fear the dawn more.
Remorse,
I should have spent more time in the shade,
there is a light at the end of the tunnel
on the face of an oncoming train.
shine a light for lítost
and I awake.
Ich, Ungeziefer.
