From 'The Black Vault', (2011), published by VoidFront Press 2017



aborted --
 I
chafed skin
the silent purity of frozen eyes
the mockery of bruised flesh
the beauty of discolourization
the depth of the sky is no wound
flourish of dead frozen lightless catacombs
a candle burns as dried menstrual blood
coats the limp cock…
II
 
pale gardenias
shuddering in the night fallen crestfallen
death inhales the emptiness of stale time
endless blue light
the beauty the adjurant ague
the vault opens
a scream drenched in earthly blood
death as a whisper
blackened ruptured bleeding existence
the depth of the sky is no…
shrouds of wounds cover the dry listless soil
the heart is open as a vibrant flower
laced with death
III
 
the snare of it
shutting off the cries
as a guillotine erases
wasted tears before the harlequin
of dissipation
the skies do not answer
they never will
disease
is the bounty
exile
blank tomb
silence
nothing
the Shadow dredges the depths
of restless oceanic
IV
 
a barrel of a gun
a blessed orifice
bled dry
extracted teeth of eviscerated love
a centipede birthed from the
corner of the mouth
drenched in whispers
the hollow kaleidoscope of whispers
stilled breath
honeycomb of rotting blood
a vacant sky
a holocaust
fucked over to dance in shimmering circles
beneath a black harlot skyline
extinguish the night
(extinguish…the sky…)
the rapture
has aborted
its worthless
children
