S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Haze of Baltimore
Feign Thing
Case the zone,
put everything down in those notes
what you can't take with you
write it down in your phone
scrawl it on a post
carve it into skin
drown every detail in that foam
what you can't test true
write it down in pen
right hand face down on the tome
used razor blades and a hypodermic forest strewn - flown the nest,
lightning exhumed from the LED
not quite enough blood to presume her dead
stray crits - rust stained cotton sheets, - chitin beasts
dusting graves across the windows ledge
Zoroastrians have to keep their pledge
A 100,000 lost in the wet bulb exclusion, - dully included
a spinning blades edge
her AC full of beetles made less - vegan sweat
detritus suffocate you to death,
black mold, wolf spiders, eggs.
Dislocated furniture, empty vials, change, a light mess
her world entangled with the things that I left.
A colt 45 with the hammer clean lost
bloody paper towels and a few stringent things I tossed
in a paper bag, hidden amongst the few things she actually wants
a computer, a usb interface, a microphone, artistic haunts
a selfish god doesn't want... its got
its got enough to know that when they don't look you in the eye,
your not.
Superstitions aside ghosts don't flaunt
they linger in the mind
and shes mighty fair the way she clots
anuerisms aside she don't talk
a lens splits her eye
leaded, twitching to the rhythm of her thoughts
shes in kind, the way that she can't not
a cool breeze scented by her locks
Stamped in time, a half nelson and a sharpened prop.
hand in mine, the skin of my fore-arm pulled taught.
