a clean line moonlight bends a collarbone drink strung tight



strung tight



wheel along the artery the streetlights

drift the eye-beams collide



slow dissolve the car-chase

draining gasoline shines a skin



across the water



barely

touching now sad eyes when you're vampiring

again





carry your violence light carry the moonlight

seed the sleep in



your eye the blue of the pilot

light



mask maker herat fire eater throat rice water brain

perfect stray perfect stray



dead friends shade your sad eyes

when you're vampiring again by



the cold unflattering

light





carry the glass in your jaw carry the flatlands

in the base of your



spine the city is rusting there



the

weather never cared barely touching now spilling down

the



stairs for this time around



tight pretend

imperfection imperfection imperfection





carry your

violence light carry it like a lost limb itches and aches



a

second you can't forget





carry your violence light

carry the mooonlight seed the sleep in



your eye the city is

rusting there
