gratitude ~ [//masturbation//]  

inspired by a hat*
  
let's fake genetic competition  
[completion]  
slow grind the breeze  
sow opium babies  
in a barren trench ~  
pollination/pollution  
[there's no love here]  
& a wet cunt's a poor indication  
of fairer weather  
*  
come ...  
... feed me the needle  
fuel the feral obsession  
[how can you be so sweet]  
when you're howling in agony  
trying to stop your eyes from rolling madly    
beneath a kitten's talons  
//  
i've straddled the divide  
to fuck the cosmos  
between here & there  
[sucking shotgun hits]    
from the aether of your lips ~  
blow into me, daddy  
when i lay here spooning shadows  
with a knife in my back  
... my death grip clutching  
the vain hopes that slip  
like your gratitude from my chin ...  
*  
hush now,  
[do you understand the gravity[?]  
questions ruin everything  
.
.
.
though i'll confess  
the dancing lights  
make me think of you  
when they paint far off horizons  
& that alone    
should tell you everything  
you'll ever need to know ...
