A Devil In The Tall Grass

out of the primordial sky
I fell and ruptured my sun
bleeding crystalline water
until nothing was left
but a vessel thirsty
for hemlock and blood

my bones glowed with hurt
as boys punctured my skin
with their angry stupid sticks
and girls laughed
a tombstone laugh
feeding the black snake
in the forest of my mind
the frozen seed of cruelty
growing into an air-sucking rose
fevered with blasphemy and gall

born under a red moon eye
spat on by ignorant mouths
I am a devil in the tall grass
with a loaded uzi and a platinum cock
all fucked up and ready to rock
