Mary Jane

gargoyles are scared of things not made of clay

pygmalion breaks before his statue does

the flash only delivers delirium when tiffany isn't faithful telephoning home to her diamonds

a timid passover kills too many lambs an escapist even without the dark tripping on sentiments instead splayed out like a distraught kraken

and his friend foulmouth iris beckoning leaping horses off rooftops to a tiny tinny orchestra as we create a new holiday climaxing before

but the lions are prepared to chase us down to locked cellar doors and mouth to mouth it's like cotton chewed up by sugar frosted jack

meant the rainbows cannot attest to your name when your choir is the wind and your rain is sky sent beating down to a sweet violin whine

now the songs are spent every dime prostituted close your eyes darling bride you're my favorite work of art more than any other man ever

by a babe shrieking eureka smoking crannies in its spare time nooks too if they could spare the clock but its racing out as fast as it could

and when kings tell the wise men to slow down to seek shelter they know better than to disobey the murmurs of a crown that can be sunken

strain it out my white dressed wonder violently believing the loosened lips of trojan spies the fire's dying in front of us but not inside

and the river runs towards the loved and forgotten mountains to drown most of us in a deep blue and those who survive in fishscale red

the bemused joker stands cavalier and you will never be as ugly as chelsea or angelic as the departed regular from the viper room

some holy of holies getting dirty so with a twist of your wrist the dream blows out like a humbled skyscraper let me walk you outside pretty

but you cannot cheat hollywood satine if yous aid no they've already closed the door to your face and sent you to the stables like

elaborate kits of glamour stretched over the pavement caked under city lamps he asks why are you doing this to me director cued free donuts

when noon tries to beat apollo at times when the chariot doesn't wait and gaia comes calling with childhood sprouts watching trashy tv

of alien ill-gotten nicknames fleeing from their masters shackled slaves frying below sun on a brick-panned canvas of sand snakes skipping

and the answer is that i can never quit you with a voice of poetry dissolving weary fever fit floor fast fading violets spitting caricatures

so someday we can know but not anytime soon wait til the end gets us alone with pals for stars swapping celestial spit with burning cheeks

like utter joy scattered inside a beautiful circle spiraling into the beginning of father time's crinkled corners sweeping a rewritten past

the gypsy of a willowing scarf thats freud tried on but never noticed he never cared about the wrapping just the part that can't leave with

and the excess humility peels the skin back from its lava core the softness bullying the steps of scalding fingertips sold the candlestash

to a scarecrow lying face first into a yellow sun-soaked raw strawberry field the word la like a score to lash upon the wet rock of our ears

awake losing sleep no more winks to trade for leper's gold crunching out the numbers for a feathery fall glowing from pilot to dead man

and inside my cheeks they weep for you and your twin mistress/ter enchantment a spell of molten snow queen coffee so desperate to stay

lick your conscience clean there's no blood to taste under your tongue just iron and sweat and the earth perspiring with lemon not salt

flavor us cold and name us sweet honey caterpillars my brother your lover my keeper don't let us waste moments fighting over what's already

bind us ancestral similar with a hostaged menagerie twirling and whipping snorting around the air that you breathe share with the animals

my greed or my pride or delight it's a sin we cannot throw ourselves amidst the wild fauna of human space you're too alike the ties that

into something sweet and sublime this cottony grace with this spiked regret we like to spin but avoid the ground i don't want to advertise

and we fight only for the things we love don't pretend you don't want to sleep i'm hungry and i'm thirsty for dreams that thicken collide

you're cooking coconut meat into coconut jam on the horns of a frazzled unicorn's exhaust on a trip to atlantis sunken into hemorrhoids

the joy of goodbye is tickling in my throat hey light hey low loan me some magic nuanced stripper named penny lane the young blonde travesty

and acoustic shoes reverberating the orgasmic beatles echoe of john slowed down paul ringpalmed ringo and the lovely forgotten george

face of a star and the parts of you i can replace oh wow can we make it you think i don't know if you don't come with me laced fingers

and we want to be home and we don't wish to be alone but the vines obscure our eyes and the drastic shimmering night with the

im biting into your hair im biting into your lips i'm biting into your teeth anyway you're not here but i'm biting into all i can

with its a bright shiny morning but i'm shining without you i'm shining brandly new the glint of a tiger's grin it watches us in the grass

promise when i met you distilled kaleidoscopic don't kill me with your edge hot white hot heat i am blinded by the strings you can pull me

beat thing thats reflecting is the moon's face right above ours it's so pristine say hello and offer your ring on the hand that you used to

to an exploding cataclysmic (amoeba) ectoplasmic explosion the world has never seen before because it's not a mirror that we're using to the

the world is so beautiful can you just exclaim it the exploding lights of mystic falls oh wait thats a tv show that we run run run run
