a tribute to taxidermy

posted August 9th, 2008 at 10:28 PM

holding the lit end of a cigarette on top of an ant, watching it squirm. i pull in.

there is a capacity for hate in theory, and i practice it in my mind. visualizing all the things that could go wrong.

nothing is ever right.

i’ll pull you in closely and lock you in a ziplock tonight.

there will be droplets of condensation in the bag come morning. we’ll make love three times and slowly suffocate.

they’ll find us locked together. a tribute to taxidermy, you spread eagle. and me inside.

  1. This is an interesting bit. Your metaphors are vivid and surreal, like most of your writings. I quite enjoyed some of your poetry/writing, by the way. Especially “Nude Altitude”. I write as well, but my style is much different.

    Oh, and thanks for letting me know I spelled pseudo wrong, even though I feel a bit stupid now.
