Building Rome In Half A Day

· REMINGTON GRAVES ·

January 2, 2017

I exhale cerulean and cage incendiary      this languid response to

a minimum

powder burns on what was once described with succulent lips

venomous rhetoric

and an uncanny ability to become the ripper in a black night under your red lights

 

what hierarchy can endure deviation its corpulence      the stuttering chant of what shall and

shan’t make a man ?        now    the benediction lies bemused and throbbing with welts across its countenance                                  watching angels weep

my contrivances corner the cunt a rose by the same shame and allows invidious truths a small escape

plenary disclaimers involuntarily hesitate with both palms denying their ghosts      prodigal twins

hungry

mouths fucking with finesse a series of frames   the looming detectives posing as breasts upon

a hallow chest

 

better bark than bite   darling

lack of life lacking experience

whore in the attention you seek mild decadence

sharpen your fangs for one last gallop   you old goat     which way the ungodly ?

 

satyriconned

unremitting fountain to be there     replacing emotion so frail

lost and running from words             we produce

shadowplay  from shears    forked   meaning all too immature

 

 

oediplexing betwixt my mother’s legs as alarm clock reads six              six                   sexes

it takes me hours     it takes you days

revising closely the grammatical errors gargling  airs put on in purple     what  style lacking on your page

exaggerated lifetimes allegedly i taste

you won’t help you here     this feast designed for men without mouths   waited upon by servants undelivered from the deluge

the master–the unwavering insecurities that are your only arsenal

 

now the warm machine won’t mind   when i defy sycophantic notions  expectations of becoming the becoming   a bloody bitten apple in your eye

 

go back

read it again

what errors

only due arrogance

friendless

it might take you twice the lifetime

it

only

took me

the beginning

of the end
