candy and concrete (20161022)

screen-shot-2016-10-22-at-7-48-21-pm

surrounded by
eternity’s fat fathers
velvet words
a poisonous, laughing poetry
perfumed breath of women
borne on ferocious breezes
decay a liquid ghost
tasting like candy and concrete

her heart lies
but never voices her magic rhythm
