Once Bitten

And the salty sweet increase
Of wingless flight
Thrashing the aching muscles
With the swollen heat
To raze the iron wall.

Cold hard steel
Deep inside
Laceration disintegration
Sharp inhalation
Rife with ruby liquid fire.

Slipping separation
Concentration immolation
Cobwebbed morality
Of flat metallic thoughts
Ringing superego truths

Shorn detachment
Reaching from the inner parts
Down the gray matter fortress
Raining reason all around
Silver white purity shards

Pulse
Clenching hard
With the diamond pressure
Of a serpent's kiss

-apples are lovely this time of year.
