Poem #43

[cinnamonstick]

La Ciudad de Los Ángeles

5 inch skirts
Sex till it hurts
Then cover in white for mommy

Inhaling white
Till mind takes flight
Tell friends it’s just a nosebleed

Razorblades bleed designs
In all who cannot find
Daddy sees perfection; doesn’t wonder

Blonde perfection of the light
Party demon of the night
The ones who guess will never tell

The harp sings
Of clip-on wings
And headband halos

((Angels never bleed))
