The moon has waned today
to a mere speck of grey light
draped by red restless clouds
The salty winds in my town
near the Sea of Japan
punctuated
by your dark screams
As I bite into your dreams
tasting the purple blood
of eternity.
near the Sea of Japan
punctuated
by your dark screams
As I bite into your dreams
tasting the purple blood
of eternity.
Who hears them?
The mermaids have slept
In the dark green kelp
that floats for ever
and muffles your cries
The whales have gone away
with the currents
thinking sweet thoughts of your pain.
They shall be back next year
succulent bits of them
on your plate
All arms flailing
pretending to be you
As you try to die
there shall be no blood
on those clean white sheets
Merely the impossible aroma
of the deep sea.
of the deep sea.
