mad mountains (forever, the blood)

By vox et praeterea nihil

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

mad mountains crawl down my veins and i want to be within you inside you and ruthlessly swallowed. there are hearts of thunder, bred and broken through the mandibles of this employ, the terrorism of my own body. mad torrents of torrent torment my flowing moments. i want my veins to drive circles, into, out of, around, beneath your skin. beneath your surface (wet; within) and when your villainous fingertips run villainous fingertrips down my visible drain, mad mountains crawl earthly 'round my sane and rational treason. remember, this will not last forever, the blood will go forever, the blood will go forever, the blood Written June 21st, 1999 © on Oct 23 2001 06:34 PM PST   0 • 18 • 8
