Rhapsody in Bitter
Bloodred sky rains
redhots bleeding
scarlet ooze
tainted sugar swirled with
asphalt and gasoline
heart-shaped oilslick
iridescent with
tears
trail the hemorrhage
into the gutter
free skin free cunt
whipped into a confection
doused in aphrodisiac
and commercial innuendo
lust and plastic locked
in a danse macabre
read between the lace and
past the garter
barely above delusion
however much saccharine
sugars it over
romance always tastes better
taken with a dose of
arsenic
all a tarnished ring and
never after
