forms the procession.

Faces as stern as a corpse,
eyes glimmering
mint and pristine.

In a dark corner
I drink black tea
from my lover’s cup –
My eyelids fall
like the lid of a coffin
as I listen:

A thick fog of gossip
The stink of talk

A slice of shine
severs with the edge
of ascendancy.

A deep knock on planks
blond hair flops and spreads
like a beached jellyfish,
legs stark and gnarled.

all I ever want to do is
fuck and fight
we will not speak
we will grunt and howl
bare our teeth and breath heavily
all I ever need to do is
release
release my blood and instinct
salivate in front of a plasma TV
that would be nice
