Tomorrow Gone

I’m going to sleep

for once.

The sleep of the just,

I trust.

No morning

this night;

last chance

for a fight.

Why

You are

What I want.

But

You are not

What I want.

Enslave me

Teach me your truth,

the truth of pain.

The rules of flesh

that never end.

Another time

and two,

reflect my sins.

Touch me,

I dare you,

like you never did.

Pierce the flesh,

bite the bone,

break the will,

bend my core.

Twist my mind,

cry my blood,

wish me death,

and go.

Minotaur

You look for me

And I’m probably lost

In this, my labyrinth,

My very own Knossos,

That I can’t fly away from

Unless I want my wings to melt.

Smiling you unroll

Your string of cotton

Wishing/hoping that

It will take you safely out,

Even though it has failed

So many others before you.

By now I’m dreaming

You will find me

And finish what should have

been finished years ago.

But  I know,

(oh yes I know)

that your hand will tremble

before the final hit,

and crumbling,

begging for forgiveness,

you will fall before me;

but you’ll get none.

Eating body

Tender, tender flesh

ready to be eaten,

ready to be loved

(as if there was a diff’rence

between those).

And oh yeah - the lips,

the eyes, the hips,

the soul, the hole,

is all just one thing:

a meal.
