Loathe
haine dans le pinceau de cupidon

A mask-less mask
To hide how you conquer women
It's as though you're covetous
of your dead father's skull
sunkeneyed and long lost to pasture
descending over the sacred forgotten
you who can only ever desecrate
who implores others to hate
with the rustling of charred bones
all the stray bullets lodged in your back
still the wounds of kindness remain aghast
with a ransom escaping skyward
as you drag the last piece of yourself
out from the black seawater, brimming
from a rotten jaw grinding in protest
and you call to your mother
the year's salt in your words, your wounds
a cowardly sound neglected
as water neglects what it drowns
until one of you fades
the ghostly fume of a boy
