words

says let
a sordidgirl friend
as mad like me was
though beneath flooding blood

never play this behind time
they think it is delirious
i need not sit neat death
and smell her hair

put on some black love
soar over a lake of
void chains
water and rain
bitter like red beauth

your shadow must always
have a place for you

together these delicate dreams
will take power
from my sleep.
