line index

these days I find blood in strange places
claws gouging the earth
we count the days by the stars that pass;  we forget what we can
renegades, cannibals, murderers
you are always falling into rivers
inside     then sinking                    no, sunk
you used to speak in polygons
but deadlier, darker
if you were dead right now, my life would be much better
what I want is a nostalgia like acid burning holes in me
you’ll see how stubborn I can be. You’ll see mania.
we will both be eaten by the same god
and the slimmest moon will not spit its shadow
