Spitting Cadaverous Aphrodisiacs to Quell my Lecherous Complaints. Limp like Ezra’s black boughs. How ghastly angelic the twist of late, seemingly beget love. The crimson letter, a day belated. The feverous rush to ingest the nothing. She has forgotten. Can you forget that which did not occur? A year and a day ago. Flirt with the idea of depravity. The beaten path is just that. Beaten. Men forge the tamer of fire. The skeletons of the mass lie in the unmarked. Glide back to the twist of late. Before depravity there was the quaint scenery of the chapel. The ambagious terms of love, concrete within the words and walls of an idol revered for his accolades. So great were they that men begrudged one another for coloring him too light or too dark or too nothing. The clean note of the bells sent feathers spiraling down the wispy cloud stairs. Pump the trivial full of symbolism. Actors in a stage of lament. How sorrowful the convict that is born-again in a cage. Hospitals are better suited for such things. Emotions drown out to tears, taking the shape of surrounding figures. The predominate pose is fetal. Sadistic seeds give birth to defects. Trivial characters whose role has been reduced to mere highlights of “what was”. For the select few, their glory lay at the bottom of the directors feet. These new souls wear the same clothes as their former selves but with that black book at hand they cough up the blood of “him”. Not an autobiography, not a single quote taken from mouth to word, but Zealots who scream for the sake of religion but voice the wrong name. Once again, back to the twist of late. The new found couple take refuge in the hollow promises, the strained phrases of verbal comforting. The cumbersome act of love weighs heavy in the heart of the stranger. Come along, around the tongue, through the make-up mask, and into the mirror. Picture perfect imperfection. Opaque crescent moons highlight the well rounded windows that betray the soul. Curious bitten lips, pursed to hide the wealth she kept in safe.
