Accrete with acetyl tones
acetone Persephone
pearl opalescence
melt my sandy grit
with the crush groove
of your hand-me-down heartache
I revel in and revile your distance
and wish you were hurting with me
this in an instance
of the smile you fake
and the hands you take to midnight
I want to whitewash your view of life
in this purview of strife you call home
bathe in the pheromones of that
angry fire burning on the edge of
the wasted woman behind those eyes
the ones that capture darkness in every angle of light
crossing your path and the aftermath
leaves me shaking like vodka-soaked relapse
synapse snaps to attention, tunneling my vision
right into the Arctic smile you rarely share
I dream of you and shadow and sundown
candy canes and cyanide, slow rides and low tide
I want you to take me higher, then drop me
like an apple and Sir Isaac Newton
force feed me your gravity, snake charmer
I’ll come when you whistle and chew
all the meat and gristle from the bone
a proper fuck on the methadone
you’re a sunrise surprise and hangover headache
hand-grenade waiting to be thrown
detonate me darling
and watch me die
come on concrete mama
I know you want to
I love the way I hate the way
I am without you
my acetylene blowtorch flame
come carve your intitials
into my name

Where do all this come from? I see your experimenting with vocabulary words yourself.

You’ve open up a surrealism of imagery that all us readers are feeding on your influence and inspiration. Brutally and Magnificently well done my friend. 🙂
