Blow


Howl, yon dogs; rattle, snakes; crystalline become the marrow as a fitting sacrifice,
Ribcage and legs spread just for her as everyone before, come, suck you dry twice.
Head left, now right; the cinema in session as you sleep, rocket horror; picture slow,
Last thing they said as you kicked them aside was a boomerang when least ye know.
Rain-dancin', backstabbin', fleetfooted refuse joining common curses for single good,
Betting of the strengths in numbers, declare not ever one remains even if she would.

Now we ridin' on a train to Armageddeon, lookin' at flames lickin'; incineratin' tongue,
Conductor got the mark of your beast on her chest from where you tore it, far-flung.
Charon's demandin' one mo' reap than you sowed; ain't gonna pass this off for Hell,
Just like a ferryman's sense o' humor to give yo' ass back to one you scorched well.
Banshees cacklin', spinnin' 'round y' head like halos, joinin' hands, let games begin;
Respondin' with finger you wrapped 'em 'round; you done 'em once, you do it again.

Ain't a conflict here no more; fist of indignance tore the bars of conscience long ago,
And if the canine found the vein biting free of imprisonment just bleed and let it flow.
Sneer, growling soul; proud, gaping hole; powder's packed where love once reigned,
Think I'm gonna have me a taste of another addiction because the last one's drained.
Neither captured nor enraptured, oh no, got the antidote for her venom, here you go,
Take a lil' piece of their hate, incinerate; carefully open hand, on my command, blow.
