You and I
Lemon and lime
Vodka, remember
Black sockets slewing a curtain
Hidden, a sudden frightened parasol
We are completely closed to them
They pass like ghosts and I seldom remember
Their name and species
The cut of the coat and a sacrificial
Nothing
We take our corner
Childish how you react
To a fortress you cannot break out of
We are dead and this is our crypt
Pass by or god forbid you make us vomit
A love of divorcing slaughterers
Water runs rampant, as vodka
As ice, as blood
The rest is a box
A ribbon and yours, do not touch me
Just take it and leave
Lower your head
A toast to the crooked hammer
We sleep a beautiful rhapsody of grey
Ochre in our chambers a full view
Liquid silvers this looking glass shimmers
Slowly recoiling
You come closer and contaminate with filthy dark glaring eyes
Shrieking with the absolute Devil of truth
We are you.
