THAT GIRL
Her naked beauty is stunning,
& lovely.
She smiles in my video like we're
sharing a secret.
Her dreaming is laughter that
makes us both afraid of her
nightmarish existance of dots
& speckles.
Her trecherous smile is the
very breath of death; both
rich & full; sickly sweet &
punctured by rot.
Her youth is ancient, decrepit,
mummy girl sadness that turns
to dust between my fingers &
crumbles to nothing like vampire
fairy sprinkles.
And that mist of earthen womanhood
sifts through the winds that blow hot
& hard against my naked flesh &
fill me with a drug like hazy eyed shimmer
of sex & of dying.
