He tipped me twice today
it saved me from drowning
in the encompassing emptiness
"Thank you" was all I said.

Honesty did not
even come into it
just a habit
that's hard to
break
I feel
like drowning.

Each segment
of the Clementine
seduced the paper-cuts
I held onto
reminding me that
I shouldn't be so careless.

ride down this bloody creak..
ravenous rapids ever sleek..
betrayal finds those who seek..
those who search for its peak..

there's a glass in my hand
that connects to a bone
it may be half empty
but I'm never alone

Glass of bones
laced with whiskey
tap taps play misty lightly
like ice cubes swirling
then fusing, marrow and all

tonight we were drunk on
ritualistic barberism
we'll toast the blood
of our enemies
don't be scared of me
cheers

The fear itself is past tipsy
slow dancing, hunched
into a bunch of shadows, who knows
why its still smiling

a voiceless fear smirks
silently, unable to echo
the secrets of flickering candles
that animate velvet shadows
in slow motion

Picturesque
like a Japanese puppet show
scented with juniper
there are no rules here
just flickering opportunities
dancing unbound, uncaring

lawlessness
criminals disrupt
a beautiful, boring story
making obscene gestures
in the flame
their only warning:
beware of dodgey lightbulbs

warnings heeded
preparation is indeed key
you'll see, let there be no panic
enter in daylight
with both eyes blazing

grey eyes hardly blaze
rather, smolder
restlessly nocturnal
anxious near daybreak
for the sting and burn
of the coming sun

vampress holds her breath
eyes the sky
with a level of fret
that sends the spiders scuttling
for certain safety

a succubus sings
lullabies to the night
slyfly hesitant
pale, fragile
beware of her wit
and that razor sharp
smile
