close your eyes and out leaks the monster
peek your fill till it spills on the ground
glare for glare you sneer at the mirror
hideous ponds sneer that sneer back
it sweeps slowly evil eating
glassy youth arranges greetings
smiling scythe swing simply sexy
syncopate last wince electric
conduit tight-rope tip-toe for tip-toe
i'll eat the compost
soft ground for the light show
cut and paste letters together
u and i quietly tethered
saturating carbon paper
cause a schism for the better
i'm matter unborn
stripped shit and pre-torn
i've casted shadows of shadows on Death's form
moth-eaten manuscripts
claim i love you
inaccuracies sift
sugary skeletons
smudged lead leaves vestiges
on doors to hushed closets
beware the furtive hiss
of clutter poorly swept
it vexes her trembling
the flashlight beam's shaking
on the exposed traces
squinting as if waking
from drug induced comas
coughing cutesy foma
to charm not to harm
misspellings blunt the drama
"if only" i'm only shortcomings in mornings
discarded t-shirts out of reach now i'm horny
we'll do it in secret
you'll hate every minute
and plan the next verse to go with some guitar riff
kill me Satan please
set the stove to preheat
i've got time clear my head
i've got time till the beep
