the night burns freely as they walk with heads held high,
and you can’t fuck a useless body.
and you can’t slip a ring upon a midnight marriage,
and you can’t drown a shame that doesn’t need to breathe.
the wind howls by your ears,
but it whispers strange words.
a concrete mattress,
floating sidewalks,
a tomb outlined in chalk.
the night burns freely as they walk with heads held high,
and you can’t love a useless body.
and you can’t slip a dress upon a midnight marriage
and you can’t drown a shame that doesn’t need to breathe.
the wind howl’s by your ears,
but it whisper’s strange words.
a concrete mattress,
floating sidewalks,
a tomb outlined in chalk.
a headless bull leading the herd,
in a forced splendor.
fetishized.
mythologized.
