My Darkest Love

His words pursue me with the verve of storms
*And my supercapacity to hate
Supine under the weight of his august-ginger eyes

Bloodstained and so beautiful
Like thunder and the unexplained

I’m silenced
Diminished
I’m bruised, blue
In the muscle, you

Escape me
Negate me

A tunnel sunken night
Furious and consuming

And when I’m alone in the moon
Symbolic and sleepless
In flameless streets of ink and nothing

His whispers are never over

As perfect as suicide and a shark’s murderous teeth

I wade in his kingdom

Come

And oh how we...
Under the stars

My Darkest Love
