Valse Melancolique

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 marshmallow 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
