Really warm jelly

7th February 2008

I know you’re scared because your cucumber breath fogs up my glasses
I’m scared, too

If only they knew how we’re really warm jelly
And crumble cookie-like under the lightest forefinger/thumb squeeze

I split open arteries, to bloodsquirt your face
Feel free to follow suit

With cheek blood like warpaint
We can catch, eat, fuck, shit, destroy and begin again
Like love beasts, with no mask

But only after we leave lit candles, apples and pennies
At the altar

    What Z said.
    And what Imogen said.
    And what Ben said (especially what Ben said).
    And what Andre said.

    That really is shockingly good. And by that, I don’t mean that I’m shocked that it’s good. Just that it’s good. And shocking.

    You are all poetry readers. You should be ashamed and embarrassed. Go find a political blog and wash out your eyes with soap, now. [Just kidding, I love you all.]
