---

Hate flows where love is betrayed.

Infected with blame and guilt.

Fail me in your falling.

Like these shelves cracked with shame.

A poet lifeless in morning light.

Solitary to his reapings.

Twelve fingers – etch mono stares.

Scattered about the emptiness.

Angelic altars circle the static.

Reveries twist in gasoline.

Silence and sex soak the pleasant entrails.

Weeping in your arms.

Was hopes last cum stain.

Smelling underneath is the devil's beauty.

Watching your breath subside.
