Our Lady of the Hanging Heart |
| Oh, I’m writhing with life! |
| The sharp edges dulled |
| The first touch of mercy swings down on me |
| Like the last ragged breath that slips away |
| But oh, I’m seething with joy! |
| Slow shaking steps toward a fluorescent new day |
| Their welcoming embrace |
| Laughter spills from my lips like the ash from a shattered urn |
| I’m patient zero, event horizon; the eternal undertow |
| Point my ravenous love |
| Towards whom you want to be swallowed |
| Draw wretched eclipse closed |
| The incessant numb twilight of a shattered mind |
| Do you feel nothing, like me? |
| I welcome you to join me in this idiosyncrasy; |
| The absence of all |
| But oh, I’m burning with love! |
| Collapsing within |
| With the weight of the unachieved |
| I welcome you to grieve |
| Oh! The incessant grip of our encirclement; |
| Convulsing and euphoric as it singularly tightens! |
| And the air is colder than it’s ever been |
| I know nothing of it |
| There are voices crying in the other rooms |
| I don’t hear them |
| And in the recesses where the darkness deepens |
| That which I can’t possibly see |
| Something has brought its gaze towards us |
| Putrefying where we stand |
| Like effigies to a decaying opiate god |
| Pestilential and bloated with life |
| The absence of all |
| The embrace of rot |
| Blossoming before me |
| Iridescent and beautiful |
| So unspeakably beautiful |
| As a crippled vessel, exposed in all its grand failure |
| Reaching for you |
