Link

white
shadows coalescing
melting
(it's nothing, all the same)
twist the dripping knife
in a little deeper
a sparkling shard of crystal
broken, shattered
by a butterfly's breath.

pain
throbbing stab of ice blue eyes
accusations cut through the hands
slice through the ebony-painted world
of little men with little dreams
of ancient promise
with a fairy's kiss
(bite me, prick me, feels the same)
that's the way it's done
with cookie-cutter princesses.

thrust
blinded by the sluicing power
aching in the bones of time
(words, words, they're all the same)
a devil's dance of counterpoint
carefully threaded speech
of stream-lined savagery
hacking away
the phosphorescent essence,
drop the cloak,
the shield's cracked.

forward
rush on in pristine ignorance
sashay in festering arrogance
crush the jeweled memories
in a swirling vision
of righteous
purity.
(doesn't matter, you're still the same.)
silver illusion,
pale naked reality
mesh in this snow-flake world.
