Cascade

oh the air was shining
shining like a wedding ring
barbed like sex
i felt 10,000 volts
my chest was full of eels
pushing through my usual skin
i opened up new wounds
pouting, shouting

oh love - like liquid falling
falling in cascades
oh love-lorn victims laughing
laughing in cascades

the sun was rich
rich with a song of sin
my breath melted my words
into strange alphabets
tormenting my tongue
pouting, shouting

the heartbeats were echoing
echoing the revolver
emptying into my mouth
i pulled a face from my pocket
and smiled a leper's grin
i felt somebody close
pouting, shouting
