To give myself into the squeeze

The squelch of suffering in an unconscious plain of despair

The utter absence of light or dark

The gray sweltering inside my guts

I found the little death

As I rode the expedition of mortal sin

Sun diving into my pores like a gregarious whore

That reflected my desire

My utterly irrational desire

My fears locked in a naked room

That was like vomit inside crystal

Wrapped in tight plastic and fool’s gold

I found your little death like a chokehold

You choke me you drew out all of my memories like a pointed sieve you killed me you gave me infinite drops of blood in your water

Losing my soul in between your legs

Like a broken piece of clothing you cannot take off

Little death, little death

You’re in me forevermore
