faces of death blowing blood bubbles in purgatory

the shadows creeping nearer
snakes slithering on porcelain
sinking in an empty pool
with sandpaper eyelids
blind but not sightless
trees massaging sore limbs
grinding wooden false teeth
drinking ammo from a shot glass
insert the wobbly cartridge
gagging on the magazine
pale fauns strumming lyres
dancing on funeral pyres
grope the naked moonlight
biting necks at sunrise
the first time drug user
eats the deadly fungi
float on rivers of razor wire
skinny dip with the leeches
soaked with the piñata’s gore
the children remain speechless
the apple’s lost its flavor
tapeworm rips into the whore
nymphomaniac rape victim
doesn't want to any more
dead soldiers in schoolyards
brandish rifles at recess
bayonets seek the harlot
ripping Jezebel to pieces
the clergymen sip coffee
acid tabs in wet pockets
centipedes curl to sleep
inside hollow eye sockets
he sleeps like a little baby
out of context, different meaning
and as the womb closes shut
the drowning fetus starts screaming
the Satanist ascends to heaven
the pagan never sinned right
crowds watch as Pavarotti
takes a razor to his windpipe
we change shapes in the rain
juggle death with michael goudeau
and snap pictures of our faces;
beheadings make for candid photos
the well-dressed rastafarian
proceeds to kiss his bud and spark it
stricken with fatal hematuria
he pisses blood onto the carpet
the river banks lose interest
as the survivor crawls to shore
touching his melting face
as acid rain begins to pour
