QUOTE : Trick Candle<br /><br />Torches feeding on the dark between the stars<br />a river of ice and fire converge in her chest<br />a kiss like a hot spring, a tongue of embers<br />breath of ash with sparking lips<br />words that crash like the tide and a judge’s hammer<br />a touch like a bed of poppies and spiderwebs<br />hips like the curve of an hourglass and sex<br />pure sex manifested in the flesh<br />a body to take a bullet for<br />I am drunk and drugged, dashed upon<br />the shore of her soul<br />a soul to set the angels and demons to war<br />I am stranded in no man’s land<br />in between her ribs<br />like a madman guardian<br />searching for her womb<br />seeking death or rebirth<br />those bittersweet twins<br />one a flicker<br />the other a trick candle<br />I crawl towards the light
