Purdah
#1
I am the stain
that darkens generations,
the beggar lush with temptation,
lowered lashes painted
with amphora ash

Thresholds vanish beneath your boot
and the flood rushes in,
as bloated corpses row paper ferries
past Charon's middle finger extended
seven times circling Elysium

Drive out the me, possessed of
clipped coin and vagabond dreams;
transfuse essence of god
in whose image the glory of man
spirals endlessly to Samarkand

Quote:Original version

Oh baby fuck me harder
til the blood comes out my mouth
for I am meat
for your exalted hands
to shape into amphora ash
 
Don't wait to ask, I
invited you in with downcast eyes
and you heard me beg
through lips swollen shut with
truth-coloured candy stitches
 
Door open means kick down the house
let in the flood
with bloated corpses rowing paper ferries
past Charon's middle finger extended
seven times circling Elysium
 
Drive out the me, possessed of
clipped pennies and vagrant dreams
and transfuse essence of god
in whose image the sins of man
spiral endlessly to Samarkand
 
It could be worse
