Let us Be.

We learned to hate
on back-roads paved with autumn's death and twilight's malcontent
your mother's bed before the holiday cheer
on the hood of your daddy's T-Bird
our courtship of incandescent passion
leaving drops of our lust
in-between
the staggered breaths

we died those bourbon nights
careening down Hollywood blvd.
spitting at stars and perfect reflections
regurgitating love
pumped veins with H and nicotine
killing time
each-other
and you
murdered my children
with your mouth at the holiday inn
decaying walls and sticky white sheets
off the interstate I-9 past the lighthouse
beside the pacific dream
melting skin in tuned out blurs of togetherness
you spitting vodka in the fire
teasing the flames to hate
while fucking me
dirty and cheap in your knee high leather boots
my starving midnight salvation
my lover
my new york minute whore
bright heights in the city that never sleeps
cum on my tongue while telling me all about your
failed life and torn down religion
my junkie harlot
purple nipples and icy cunt
stop believing in me
hate with me in the rain beside our death
because I need you wet and see thro
together we can jump from the tower
screaming liberty and vengeance
bloodstained voices shattering sidewalks
we'll show them
my lover
the abstract nature of our greed

hate me
because I already
hate you.
