❝ Fadeout ❞

Prism light your eye, prism light yours.
Boxed bound tied with red ribbon.
Red is for fate
also love
also slaughter
also you
catcradled in the sick that hit you like a
train running away from the wrong guy
its headless conductor an equal opportunist
for prisoners. Fever bright, prismed prism
proposing remedy to be banged out on my
word because my wallet’s never been quite
as strong. This will work. It has to work. It’s
a modern world and people don’t need fairy
tales if they have science. We can fix this they
say. One more year, one more million, one
more lab rat more skeleton than skin. Here
take this
for now.
Hold on for us a little longer. Just like that.
Red ribbon prism, red light, earth light, moon
dark because the sun won’t share anymore.
Your violence lives quiet, under the surface of
a shackled sleep, trapped where you do
not want to be. Do not. You say. Do not. I won’t
I promise. Here let me sing you back to me
awake
one last time.
