Tapeworm

When I was a child they made me read

word-daggers of quiver and squirm

now in the stumbling dark I see I am

a worm silently fruiting your garden

my sister my child night casts ominous

meanings on the purity of my soul

I feel devilish leanings I'm beginning

to lose control and the vortex sucks

me in steeped in sin I die but am

reborn.

I want to see the cosmos slip planets

and moons collide feel gravity lose

its grip it's all inside all the dead

husks are shattered my life-blood my

world ripped apart in the laughter of

space it's all chaff blown out and lost

now I am making the pace although I

don't know what tape I'll cross maybe

catastrophe when I cross the line I

know that I will find myself or maybe

you

Iamaman from the country of destruction

Iamaman a woman and a god

Iammyown weapon of kamikaze

and will one day cut through the

hiddenknot

Feed me honey and watch me rise to the

bait lying on the knife if you let me I

can hypnotise your life it's all really

so simple my lover my twin hand in hand

sprinting down the highway running over

the edge on and on into our doomsday

there is no saving ledge nor outgrown

shrub is this the way out in a blaze of

glory some day I'll find the answer

some day I'll end the

story
