SLEEP TALK

[By Jason Quiggle]

In my sleepy cocoon
the bandits come and steal my Love

i wake to find the ghetto in flames
the local witches in Ritualistic fury,

they arm me with teeth and madness.

I cram into a van with
these holy sluts who smell of aloes and cinnamon-
we listen to magnetic tapes of crowds cheering
PUBLIC SUICIDES

we reach into the desert in our
blunt and rusty needle of a vehicle.

IN the dunes near the shore,
MY GUARDIAN CABAL can go no fUrther
trapped like snakes before a sleeping
cowpoke's rope.

gums bleeding and heart breaking
from the insidious WITCH PLAgUE in my
veins torn
i find the bandit's camp..

my Love on a spit turning,
arms flailing like ragged
flags in a fiery wind,
symbols of the countries
of our hearts-

most of her was dead before
i left the ghetto.

her God strikes me and i am beastial

break ING into their chests looking for A PROMISED
honeycomb of vengeance and I
DO NOT FIND IT-

i sate myself on
their women and cattle
leaving them bemoaning
the surf
salty
and unforgiving
as is my heart
bewitched and forlorn

“yes, you will remember me”
i WHISPER AS THE TIDE ROLLS IN
a shroud

“YES....YOU WILLLL..REMEMBER ME”

THE OCEAN IS SALTY

my tears
dissolve into it
soothing not Horus.
