the universe
is a party girl
polishing off the roofied rum & coke god gave her
see eden
see the fence lizard half in joshua's mouth
smiling as he bites down
the blood runs down his cheek
like strawberry glaze
see friendship
see bryanna on the swings forever ago
so long that she might as well
have never existed
see year zero
see the day
the demon spoke to me
see rancor
see karen
and our magic tree stump
see red and blue lights
cutting images of canyon wall and sage scrub
from the darkness
see a lack of coherency
see burning white hot pain
see my black-boned angel
and vernal eyes
see nothing
feel nothing
be nothing
