lover addict death boy kissed like crushed velvet,
his lips purple and sufocating beautiful. he strung himself up
with silver rings and tinsel. caught the light,
let himself go. desperation will do that to you.

faster now, faster; pretty jaded pair.
he never filled his cavities,
she opened his eyes just to lead her blind.

spin. spin. stumble.

lover addict death boy said: the open-mouthed carousel horses,
they're screaming his frequency.
