Electric Volcanoes

electric volcanoes spit sweat upon the frame
diseased alcoholics are the only ones to blame

clocks unfurl at awkward angles gasping help me please
i sit upon a jagged floor scabs rot and fall beneath my knees

shapes of bitter chemistry meld slowly in my brains
take some rope a wooden horse and softly end the pain

intergalactic voyages burst stealthily into pungent flame
ignorance of shattered hearts and jars is the reason why i came

battered fists pound faces blood splurts and meadows freeze
jumping joints reflect stunted scars succinctly silent seas

final verses asphxyiate disgusting rancid stains
final lines never sum up enruptured feeble rain
