end

"change the thought"
keep art alive; art by brian sheffield

"then from inside
bolt lightning cries

swiftly crushed

the final, muffled sighs"

the killing jar (video) ~ siouxsie and the banshees

again

she spins and spins and spins

drips sugar spooned poison pen promises
while the soul drips fluid from paper cranes
remorse

they say she makes good
fakes good
takes good

whispered hesitation
resuscitation
masturbation
manipulation

watch her spine bend and break
bend and break
oh darling, crush the floor

in diamond culled clinging passion fruit
madness
watch it dangle and drain

here she comes
here she comes
here she comes

fallen idols
lit cigarette holed stockings
the rips slip slid slide

his teeth sink in
deeper still
