Deus Ex Machina
I belong here
like a lull on the waters edge
morning thickens
the earth shifts
I exist, a myth to the air we breath
you stay with embellished speech
I with soft teeth
I belong here,
like a heavy breath
or wounded absence
soft and robust
you’re the eidolon boy
I belong here
when the wounded glow,
wounded wives and
wounded women
you reap, I sow
I belong here like your touch
blankets snow
This time resents a
clamouring silence
breath beating, a short while since
body shrouded
In flesh blades
my chest falling under
and all at once it pulls asunder
this Deus ex machina
this belonging embalms
addicts’ hearts
ideas in silly girls heads
crawling eternities
streets pronounced dead.
I don’t belong to the sinners
my palms are cracked
bled by spectres
I belong here
like a lull on the waters edge
tracing your bliss
your phosphorus dread
that pulls apart and falls
I belong here without your
kiss..kiss
