Saint insect

by SEAN   Mar 12, 2007


We broke the glass
as fragments of past came to drown us in faith
we chose and and we passed
as shards of eloquent reprise kept us amazed

but i loved
and we wed
yet we failed
to detest

from the ivory pedestal we condescended
took fortune from the firefly deprived
and we consumed the colors that illusions amended
and kissed the creatures that the forest provides

as i looked
and we wired
i died in the depths
became the pariah

we sharpened our nails
and painted inflictions upon my fingers and spine
tattooed her legs
and depleted the innate impulse that convulsed inside

we both loved
but the rope was the heat
upon an American coastline
we indulged in the dream
