Crushed
Bloodied
Strawberries
close their
many eyes.
We are two
smiling
corpses.

The falsetto
equivalent
of a yes-man.
Every word was
accompanied
by a shower
of spittle.
I died
in a dream
and should
never more
awake.

His relief
had been
Premature.
The cream burned
like ice.
Why must you
disturb
my
Bliss?
They lived
on treacle
(precariously).

I’m stalling.

Go ahead.
Fall.
