We are all good kids

The rapid flow of light, the raven's huge wings
swallowed the last bit of golden yellow
, the strange fish, what is it, steaming hot,
tumbling across the tidal shore

I stood in front of my grandfather's chair and
my father leisurely put the last one It
's the remnants of his whole world, the
hollowed belly gently sewn together,

maybe she's his long lost lover,
like a piece of frozen meat just thawed,
just boiled in water again,
her round buttocks lying on the meat case

Beaten repeatedly by the deliveryman
She yelled for you, it's my father's name The
last time I saw my mother in the flames
Red hair, burnt toes

Hiding in the soft wrinkles of the old fireplace
Each finger is another
The moaning self, what will I meet The
youthful lipstick is smeared again and again

The strange fish that is steaming hot tomorrow
Swim in the fields of sparkling sparks Run wild
with you mile after mile The
sunset is about to sink The sea

I think of the tears on steel and carrion I think
of the pristine country in the arms of strangers O my lifeless
love, a broken light
How silent before your mutilated front teeth

How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from my chocolate, you little bitch?... Oh honey, I don't want you to leave me, Jeliza Rose. I can't get by without you, Jeliza Rose.

  • Noah: [frantically] It was the methadone that killed her. Should have kept her on the junk. I should have just cut her dose and kept her on it. Now she's dead and... I don't have a car.

    Jeliza-Rose: Please don't be sad. Now we can eat all her choc bars. Look...
