sinking... by Artur DesruisseauxI make love like a woman
and I talk
like a fag
I don't like manual labor
never have
I don't like the sun
I like being alone
I don't go to funerals
so don't ask me to go to yours
I am sad
sad like something dead in the road
sad like late nights
driving home
nobody up but you
while a dead world sleeps
I have soft hands, and soft skin and soft hair
kind of light brown, blonde and red
it blows in the wind like little streamers on a little girls bike
my eyes are blue and green
and at night they are black and cold
like the sea
oh, to sink to the bottom of the sea!
and be greeted by sunken ships and buried treasure
a dead swimmer
a cold fish
there's not much down here
I am alone
thank you and
goodnight!

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 03/19/14 at 05:58 PM I like the attitude this piece takes, Artur, and its angle of approach. Thought provoking sociopathic tone, that I'm sure we all can relate to in our own way. |
