eat the blood

a shit eating grin
a scream 
a tongue 
snaking out
spilling poison words
venomous anonymous
what is real anymore
who murdered truth, justice, love
and other such afflictions
who will deny the answers
when the questions seems to change
transform with the seconds
break up and rearrange
till the broken finger is pointing back 
at you
bone stubs pierce the skin like pine needles
falling down in the endless snow
that covers up the sins that we don't know
in this frozen wasteland
we hurt each other
we bleed each other
we hate each other
we need each other
till my blood is in your mouth
and my mouth is filled with taste of copper
you look at me and smile
with blood in your teeth

clockwork lover

the doctor smiles at me
under the frigid lights
there is no need to worry, he says
everything is alright

i see the nurses gather round
like vultures on a dying man
the doctor wields his scalpels
do i spy a tremor in his hands?

they pump me full of great drugs
someone puts on some heavy music
the nurses take turns to give me hugs
but the drum beats are making me sick

finally the doctor is done
he hold his trophy high in his hand
a heart -- red, violent and beating still
is replaced by a clock in a can

don't ask me why, ask me why not.
