horrified masochists derive pleasure from macabre art

she chews glass shards
because
moon’s shattered image
magnified her pupil.

she descends through
silver memories and
listens to
ice sizzle
from tongue’s heat.

two drives
winding down
two lanes
wrap themselves around throat
press until spittles spilling

my hands catch rain

I say, “sew me back together! you’re tearing me in two! ”
head to toe
spine to nose
halves into halves of halves

they proffer
read threads
sterile silver needles

“leave no scars from your spindle.”

they knew
always knew

I pricked my finger on her tongue

I pricked my finger on her tongue

night peers in darkly
skeletal trees stretch starkly
against space

night gazes at me
my pupils dilate

I’m sure this atmosphere
exists in me all the same

in my castle
i play with animal husks like dolls
clouds possess my eyes

i hear
“we love you!
we love you!”

my smile stretches wide
saliva droops
“love me!
love me!”

my stomach sounds a great thundering
i entertain through hungering

i’ll swallow these bones
until alabaster shards poke
my flesh
a deep canyon craving caress

mirror mirror in my eye
reveal my desires

mystify with gold
obscure obscenity
water down fires

feed me
my tummy rumbles
it’s slow to satiation
I’ll gnaw your precious metals
with my chipped teeth

mirror mirror in my eye
withhold any blemish

I might recoil from that image
shattering your serene senses

I don’t wish to see
not yet at least
so for now
let me consume my dream

she wriggles on her bed 
jams flowers in her head 
they’re plastic 

don’t tell her 
lock those secrets behind your teeth 

she perceives a garden 
forces the planting until she bleeds 
and rose petals drip into her eyes 

don’t tell her why 
they smell metallic 
she’ll sculpt lies until she’s static 

filled with plastic flowers
planted in iron soil 
rotting in a scorched hell
