Lo lee cuts, you sleep


she brought to life those old

sharp straight lines

on her skin



oh honey to spite you she will

kill

your Baby your Love

with even sharper lines

nonchalant, to the tune of this selfish crime


she designed images of crimson desire

playful, painful

oh such delight!

"Look at the pain I can bear"


oh where were you last night

uptight

your Baby your Love

she was in bed

bleeding

crying

dancing, with dying in mind


she finally brought to life someone you'll now forever despise



(she remembers you singing, praising, dissecting names: ...light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul... the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth.

but that was when it was convenient

for you

before the drama

and now,

no more)


- Lo lee cuts, you sleep

(yes, I did the bad deed)
