MONSTER

Its mouth opens, raining fire and chaos, talking
story of everything everywhere that has broken.
It tells my story, like in a dream showing
lost things. I see tidal waves, leaning trees,
small birds, tea parties and blood.

In Its kissing I inhale flames. Pyramids
rise inside me, burning blessing blaming.
Sounds, like swift animals running through infernos
rush forth forming words that sear and shape.
Sins of Omission are just as harsh Sins of Omission
are just as vile Sins of Omission cut just as deep.

Just like Monster I prayed for love.

Monster lays me on a bright altar
crowned by crystal wands.
It draws ashes from my voice
It breathes Supernovabreath
of now now now. Galaxies inside me
melt running smoking rivers
from eyes, mouth, hands, feet.

Monster cracks the code along my spine
pulling bitter roots from stagnant pools.
Monster splits my tears
to probe their injured hearts.
Its eyes glimmer like angels
before and after The Fall.
Trembling, I surrender.

I prayed to be loved I am subsumed.

Monster does not shake. Monster does not cry.
Monster stings and coos
Oh beautiful beautiful beautiful All.
Monster longs for more.
