Magdalena

Sublimity, fire
She dances like a chorus
Unison, music

Arms around her neck
Absinthe bleeding from my pores
The end of the world

The sky is falling
God stops for no disaster
Tonight nor do I

As we light the pipe
Smoke clinging to curves like silk
I kiss her poison

Tasting cyanide
Falling to the deathly throes
As the antelope

And she, the lion
Claws sunk deep in dark chambers
That never see light

Caverns in my heart
Left to the cobwebs and bats
I am the rat queen

She the frog princess
When kissed she turns to golden
Showers of fireworks

We twirl, two petals
Cats to the London night winds
Shaking our tails, flirts

Yet only with eyes
Blind to the creeping darkness
We feel with our lips

Chasms, plunging depths
Ecstasy in ebony
In a starless night
