Darken Up

 
Leave those curtains alone!    
I'm too sad
to eat    
Summer's stench
of wall to wall blue    
disgusts me    
Filthy rays
raking nails    
over my God spot    
punishment worse than    
taunt in public
by chavvy gang
 
Your sun's a criminal    
his cloudless skies    
thirst to taint
my palest flesh    
so I'll sup more blood    
and mourn how nothing's    
ever dark enough    
to rival the succulence of night    
or rhyme with the chill of razor    
 
I must read more Poe--    
try shrink more T-shirts    
then darken up    
close the lid of my world    
and wallow upon my bed    
until once again    
the comforts of midwinter    
coax gloomy cherries    
to tease my tongue    
sad flames that languish
where secrets holds no shame
