long-limbed and lengthwise,
in repose, upon my bed
less and less the dark silhouette
at play, within my head
eyes lachrymal and cerise
limbs argent, adorned
an angel child with the devil's will
carved sibyl heart, and lithic born
reprobate, I wait unturned
in my sanguineous desire
to rest my head against the breast
and await the funeral pyre
