wedding harpoons always kiss the bride
the blood stained blade will never fake a smile
the little girl was wearing a white shroud
slit veins do sound like the night
no need to exhume the butterfly
the wound was as right as rain
married, we left for Columbine
in a burning Oldsmobile
“the worm took pills to stay awake
and dance for seven days”
the slaughterhouse opened like a cunt
hooks sneered like vultures
above ground
and I can still taste the velvet pig
lick it clean
and swallow whole
our nuptial suite was bright gold
do you remember the knives ?
rancid leaves are yellow cold
stranded in blue
married, we staggered aloft
germinating mold

death played harmonica, fingertip wise
wipe the semen off your thighs
time to meet the family
fly around Old Mallory
dinner tables always bleed

feed the wound
nurture the seed

"From this day forward,
In sickness and in health
In plenty and in want,
In joy and in sorrow,
As long as we both shall live."
