Enemy

Vodka breaths
Whirlpool for an altogether lacking
Semi-precious argot falling into ergo false
As thunder

Obscene bruising
Poster pallet body floods a smooth
Pre-determined crashing rhapsody enveloping
Scarcely baited fluent wounds
The barbed wire cheek with the organ fluid

Vodka-happy under vomit-endeavouring plagiarist pamphlets
Propaganda as juvenilia, writhing as cat claw drunken
Into harness, burgundy tort and lapsing as a pulse
The ribs enlarging into ever, and slow water bathes

Religiously nostalgic
The far-flung forever feverish into slow decline
Diving as a neck about rope and pleasure dome inverted
Under hammer-sickle skies a curdling milk infection
Purging the body of an absence and sleeping with the enemy

The smell of your cigarette
It rots me to the core
The vapoured vivid humes which engulf the very
Chamber of my swinging brick.
