Twilight in Pierced Velvet
Twilight slides into the edge of obsidian night
Covering the viridian cerulean orb we call Earth
In stardust and the hush of a secular solar eclipse
Cocaine Sunday
six swift successive stabs suffocation lines devoured quickly
anointing one as the invincible goddess of the dead universe
