Tourniquet

Let the moon sink its stolen beams of silver

like spears into my heart

and bleed me till I’m forgotten

Let the wind ravage me with its rage

like a whorl of blades

and tear me to shreds

Let the long night seep into my veins

like black poison

and split me open with its dark density

Let the infinite sky descend on me

like a straitjacket

and crush me till my bones break

for

I cannot cannot cannot

stand to burn up

in your cruel silence

anymore.
