Funeral Parade of Roses
[A]dept
Trans joy, who is this?
Shaudenfraude in opium fits
Just data, in a terminal glitch
Body flustered, disjointed in bliss
Strange rhythms in the distance
I snort, the shot pistons
Puritan pissed, missed touch
Smoldered host, in twisted clutch
The smug toast, to my sober shoulder
Regret turns cold, as the weather gets older
Severe every tie to a cynic
Mystic wisdom of a clinic
Learn to laugh with juxtaposition
Find my howling in joyful avarice
I'll collapse in fatigue, on intoxicated soil
Hunger rolls, a hunters role foiled
What more to observe?
A process in motion, still in vibration
Low lights, in high places
Twinks in sacramental formations
Let's learn to teach lemmings congo lines
Snort in the back, just a meager high
But the music is astonishing
Let me bury myself in my thoughts
I could rule a crowd with iron fists
If all I was, was talk, but I'm not
It'd be a shame if I got caught
Dollar store maidens, paving bimbos into personalities
It's beautiful, in the blurry eyes or beholders
Beautiful in ironic eyes, weary like mine
Be free, for me even though I can't
Pretend you won the war
It's just red paint, if you squint
Ain't it funny, how it all ends like this?'
Birthed in sweat and blood, anxious pants
Liar's on fire, with eternal angst
Breathing is just rehearsal for drowning
Sounding off, kill shots, a masked frowning
Crowning queens, in smokelit public housing
You tell me your stories, left doubting
How could you manufacture, the astounding
Purpose, betrothed to new curtains
Falling like blood in the theater
Deplete her neurons, just another creature
Double features of death, all that's left is scent
Repeating interactions in my head
Your body just a phantom of my mind
In time, I'll settle my debts
But for now, spirits compromise in cents
Listen to the light crackle, cackle at death
Tell me I can't
I want to slash out, all your mirrors
An image of power, repeated forever
Stand aloft, the coffins; dancing
Casting doubt, shallow rituals
We all seek security, old melodies
Funeral homes, and prosical emptiness
Your soliloquy, abandoned by tradition
System, system; accomadation
Self-care, relaxation, stagnation
Aesthetician, weaver of transluscent nations
Pick the corpses, from your porch
3 Story home, with cold hopes
Stitch days, with gym time - intellectual decay
How many shades, of beauty do you need?
The arrays, of shifted phases
New plays, new image; same damn portrait
Decapitated corests, how many hours?
Manicuring, a paegant for pigs?
Audre Lorde's gaze, paved in my iris
Parade for violence, stained eyelids
Slash caverns, into mountainsides: scorned women
So foolish, to presume: discourse could move a forced rhythm
So insecure, unsure pistons: seek nourishment from violent patterns
Siren sounds, not your's: forced error
Terror, coursing through chariot's torching every era
Women like us, should mold together
Screeching between glass, can't hear her
No women left, fake, two-way mirror
Bud Light babes, in the heart of pale conception
Dejected, in the nexus of sappho
Wept, once again; breast neglected
Models, make bodies for upright citizens
Shoot her in the back, relax
The lights are glistening, city workers
At your service, heels curbed for attention
Kid Rock, machine gunning 24-Racks
In resistance, to movements never met
No slack, corporate ties
To whack bitches, who never react
When violence at the homes, of women
No time to relax, stars in hearts of street queens
But I'm careening, through clean crowds
So lost, so potent; do I know my motive?
Coldly distracted, whiplash: escape madness
The online beefing, over scraps
I can't fathom, how any of this talk
Can stop, the bones cracking
Knuckle-dragging cops, trapped in ill fragements
The rights, weighed on faulty patterns
Tear gas cannisters, to audience laughter
Looking at the pain, smug, like I called it
Bum-rushed the sun, sunder alcoholics
My breath intoxicating, the dogs; bite along
Flesh rips, the agony of resolve
I thought, I believed what I saw
I guess, the face is gone- windstorm
Dora Richter, grave in my palm
Reading psalms, I guess the fate is undissolved
Solid in the air, floating; lengths unknown
Propaganda is a sunk cost, grift is too long
Rather decay, than admit you were wrong
