when this Velvet Darkness
drapes it's ever loving arms
around me
this primordial chaos
I wear like a cloak
all stars for eyes
and the bodies of dead lovers
my crown
I walk the line
between smoke
from the fire you started
to the burning feeling
in the back of your throat
I am tempted daily
to let this malice
taking over my hands
clench in admiration
or violence
this is a celestial recrimination
yes I am talking down to you
and in dragon scales
and dragon breath
I huff and I puff
and I blow your house on down
the wreck
the devastation
peeled back to watch
the skin wrinkle
and ignite
signal fire to the milky way
you talk like someone
who has never been
smashed in the mouth
but I have your remedy
big as all days
twice as hard as carbon
twice as evil as love
hell, I burn the scenery
just to watch you melt
into that puddle
of unnerving need
small squeaks placating my toes
splish splash
dripping fucking need
Dragon Goddess
right here in this moment
so close
you can feel her
hot gasps on your neck
all scales
are a measure
in green iridescence
of the worth of the man
and my right over your nature
your are the snake
I am the Dragon
at war with judgement
hot and shifting
cliff to those who jump
sharp teeth to those who swallow
liar, it's so hard to need you
when I am not a saint
but the crater in the back
of your skull
take this moment
unneeded
but so fucking needy
inhale
it's too hard to need you
exhale
fire
ignite
all Velvet
and fire
and curling downward forever
shifts
and breaks all the Earth
from under your trembling feet
Bone Picker
splintered in you need
I have the remedy
I keep it under my knuckles
With my dragon scales
And eat lonely boys like foul candy
And burn
When I just can't need you anymore
And it's just too hard to forget
