the serpents are searching for spirits and sequins
surviving culpability
deceiving inhibitions

they’re listening

an ashtray as erratic as compassion lasts
the jellyfish are flying past
a point of provocation

licking time bomb lollipops
left me hanging lonely
only after all the smoke clears
will you find my body
snoring loudly

holding on insomnia
I'm losing sleep defining
how the beauty to my beast
can bring her candle to my fire
