lips as drips as full as the day before,
they notice you: half a chamber of something ghastly, dogged, hairy
they pull you upright, breath
warm as love
no,
this ice is crystals, half a truth of something nasty,
cold as dogs' bodies in a sea
no, i won't be seen
a day long breath shows you a way to water
anticrystal breath, hot as love
drink, god made you an ocean a palm's breadth wide
and god gave you a hairy tongue to drink it with
and god bound you to a crystal and woke you
with a tight pull,
no
god of crystal, baked in a shadow her skeleton cast
god of crystal, cold as love,
as dogs' bodies in a sea
she compels you
no
drink, angel, dog, love, hair,
a day long breath drips a slug from the ceiling
and you cut it open with your foot
kitchen held you, warm as angels
and the slug bled yellow blood
and you bathed for the first time
it was beautiful;
anticrystal body, blood of a slug
she went rotten
and we all ate her blood inside her
it was beautiful; we danced through her body all night, and god wasn't there to say no
drink, before god gets here
i drink
breathe in time with me
i breathe, i breathe
what do you taste?
discharge,
good,
eggs, stale, yellow blood,
good,
dogs, cold as oceans,
good,
i taste cock, pure iron fear,
good,
i dream
i dream of raw cuts of meat, thick,
good,
and pink, ribboned with white, and bone,
i dip it in resin,
good,
god's here and my mouth is full,
i cannot speak
breathe
and god melts
again
and god melts
again
and i taste ice
ice is crystals
and god melts
drink,
god, i,
drink,
god,
what can you see?
nothing
good,
nothing
good,
who's watching me?
you breathe on your own and water fills your lungs
it won't come out
and it won't come out
your glasses are slanted like you're dead
but i'm just sad
but you're just sad,
speak,
speak, god is a pool in your lungs,
god is a pool in my lungs
i speak, despite my hairy tongue,
ice is crystals, and god melts,
i live on a crescent street,
triumph, magical, magical
i have one eye,
