 | lycanthrope | The sunset was not red like blood, the sky
 was
 blood
 and inscriptions were hammered
 variously out in unknowable order -
 piercing
 the cavernous deepening
 blue overhead
 into trails of gothic constellations
 the line of an ancient
 explosive lashing
 of light.
 Peripheral but not ignorable
 boundries in space.
 The inspiration for moral
 and causation tales,
 unignorable,
 like the liminal shadows
 which formed matrixes
 of colorless leaves
 and gallows
 and my body
 yet before they all become the same,
 i shall have my say,
 i shall write the first gospel -
 
 you see,
 my kiss,
 was my own snare,
 not an escape,
 the battles of the day
 can know no end -
 i'm always here, seeking
 reference points -
 
 it is not enough that you left me,
 you must become the sun
 and make me the moon.
 
 it is not enough that you love me,
 you must become the warm mud
 slipping unabashedly between the subtle webs of my toes, while
 the rain's slight reproachful chill, while
 which makes my ears numb
 like papa's boxing, while
 i seek to hood my thoughts in a box of burning rope.
 
 But because, it is not enough what i've done, you persist.
 You are suddenly the wind's stained currency,
 you are the earth and darkness
 and you seek my betrayal forever.
 
 I search for it everywhere, but cannot find it twice, thought now all call it me.
 
 You are even this tree,
 you will facilitate my floating suffocation.
 
 Let no one ever say, my savior,
 that you are innocent,
 or that your hands spill only your own blood.
 You are everywhere.
 You are also me.
 
 My betrayal is of me, is you,
 is the mountains coming down
 from the shade and shaking
 in the light of an awesome
 glorious morning sun
 and still remaining dark;
 is a horizon that makes
 promises and breaks them
 because there are so many
 eyes.
 Just like mine.
 
 You are this morning,
 which discovers me,
 drowned in those eyes,
 purpled with them,
 my kiss dried on my lips.
 Forgiveness never in rhythm
 with time or light.

 | pointy toothed blown cherry | anyone see that not-so-good movie Dracula 2000? The theory was that Judas was the original vampire.
 Hanging from the tree, dying as the sunset, never to be in the light again.
 Cast away from god, and all things sacred.
 All for a few pieces of silver.
 
 I like the idea.

 | stork daddy | the banality of evil, or the evil of banality? you get strung along. you forget what makes a parasite a lover. you'd betray the son of man with a kiss. you'd say hail rabbi. you'd hang yourself with the same indifference. or maybe it'd be your last attempt at love. | 040317 |
