Rem

Craig Stensrud

I'm a mountain of a man, untrammeled
My hard rock juts into the wine dark sea
My box cutters cut the ransom-letter letters
From a dirty magazine

Kiss my lip's cleft
I'll taste your last breath
Tenderly sing you to death
Now no more
One less memory
Backlit in blue
A swan dives to
Lift the light curse
Land of white ice
Bundled blonde hair
Burns black

Bulk candy, boxed white wine
Church music, summertime
My love's a landmine
Nine hearts hung from fishing line

Rorschach's images light 'pon the screen
Like a mandrake, the phallic dream of symmetry

My black eyes are blind
I cry blood and bleed sunshine

Inkblots and fingerprints left 'pon the leaves
Of the mandate, a fallen ream of ether'd speech

My mouth's a stop sign
Lies, lives lived like violent crimes

Sterilized idiots, limping and lean
Take their empty, unlilting, screams for melody

My killer's so kind
Goodbye
