Of Muse, Meandering and Midnight - Samuel Wagan Watson
Dionysius.
1
of muse
a prelude
dropping a knife
on one’s foot
is nothing, like
dropping tequilla
on one’s tongue
yet
her floral dress
begged me to...
where as the night
well,
it just stayed outside
magnesium girl
I was kissing the girl
with magnesium breath,
all over me
her burning hot magnesium
ahh to touch
the boundaries of delight
and pain
for you only hurt those you can love
when lust becomes a mercenary
for the weak hearted of humanity
the magnesium breath
inviting me to her bowl of splinters
nothing but the frozen tears of her last love
picked up in the rain
and our relationship,
a shrouded threesome,
death always being
that silent partner
oh that magnesium girl
with the strawberry hair
how my black flesh and rye once lingered
to be one with you
my magnesium girl
after 2am
I wept along with the night
two
black
hideous dimensions—
myself and 3am
releasing a crystal tide of bottled insanity
while the shadows mocked
our embrace
and from then on
I knew that forever
