III. Tongues Lay Sizzling in Embers

Posted by interopia on

Tongues Lay Burning in Embers

blood in flames
streamed from hearts into
glowing lava flows below

tongues lay sizzling in embers

in the rose garden
of the brick fortress
cardinals ate ladybirds

the wrathful king desired meat
slathered in cayenne ketchup
but was given apples
cherries
strawberries &
watermelon slices

his servants erupted in
fevers & rashes
their lips bleeding

when the velvet curtain was pulled back
the king was applying lipstick
he blushed &
menstruated
upon the royal ruby
