palace of forbidden light



a river of blood through

the upstate desert

 

a lake of raw sewage

 

dead trees rising up to a

cloudless sky and the

concept of beauty

which never holds still

 

the fact that i still love you

like a knife pinning me

to the map of my past and

then the past itself

 

it’s simple

 

what i write has nothing to do

with what actually happened

 

the house always had its own

reasons for burning down

 

teach your children how to

lie and they will only

grow up to be just like

the rest of us

 

teach them to hate and

they will try to rule the world

 

all they ever wanted to

do was make you proud
