Execution
Black helicopters are on a manhunt
and we are making silent love
in a bedroom black as a casket.
and your skin is a poisoned yellow.
My fingernails are caked with darkness
And I hover above your still body
The flesh which seems it will peel
From your bones like chicken flesh
Dawn casts you yellow and lovely
Silent in the city of murmurs
Dusk gathers under my fingernails
As I run them down your stomach
Helicopters
The black helicopters
Black helicopters are on a manhunt
so we are making love in silence.
The bedroom is black as a casket
and your skin is a poisoned yellow.
My fingernails are caked with darkness
And I hover above your still body
The flesh which seems it will peel
From your bones like chicken flesh
I imagine peeling the flesh from your bones
like fried chicken
making love in a bedroom black as a casket
my fingernails caked with darkness
I hover over you a black helicopter
on a manhunt
You lie on your back
In the bedroom black as a casket
Head thrown up
My fingernails caked with darkness
In the bedroom black as a casket
