INTERIOR

i want

(he whispers)

violet-sex apocalypse

to be the center of the universe

stitches and angeldust.

 

i need

(he says)

redemption and catastrophe

the scarlet shriek of sunrise

a place to call my home.

 

i imagine

(he dreams)

a black-eyed beauty death

steel-boned lust amphetamine

vegas wealth in my hands.

 

i am

(he sighs)

entropy corrupted

the jesus whine of loneliness

secrets kept: a twin betrayed.
