ADAM'S APPLE

Eve,
seduced
serpent
seduced
Eve...
Sunflowers
are blooming...
God,
is a
beautiful woman...
Serpent's egg
stuck in
my throat
(two,
in my groin)...
I cannot speak...

WINTER

Here,winter
smells of something
my friend...

Stripped naked
and cold,she
slept with me...
every night
last year...

I can smell
her lonely smell
once again,
everytime I
walk the street...

Smell her
in the dampness
of the earth...
Smell her in
the cold of my sweat...

Maybe...
Maybe she'll
fuck me again...

VINCENT'S EAR

Last year and
last to last...
Where could
the pain go?
Locked inside
in a memory...
Just the wounds
don't show...

And the year
before that
and all the time,
that I have
let go waste...
Its all coming
back,right at me...
the fruit's bitter in taste...

And everytime
I try to smile...
I'm held back
by a tear...
And all the years
that are a wound to me...
they hurt,like Vincent's ear...

LEECH

Childhood's leech...
I carry him,
in my body still...

He still
feeds on me...
Speaks to me
in some tongue,
only I can understand...

Reminding me
of the day,
I let him
into my body...
and let him
leave a stain...

ROPE ENDS

Endings...
like loose
ropes,untied...
Beginnings...
Constricting,
like a noose...
"Darkness
cannot...
be the ending...
I go,
in search of light." (*)

NIGHT

Blanket...
this night,
shroud enough
for me,to
walk in stealth...
I only have
myself to murder...

AWAKENING

LIfe's awakening...
Sharp ray
of light,throws
shadows of
bars at me...
Someday,glimmer
shall turn to shine
my friend...
Someday,freedom
shall be mine...
