Silence

One Dollar Short

I want to light a match and set you on fire

I want to watch you fall twelve stories / to the sidewalk below I want to hold a loaded gun to your head semi automatic 15 rounds / one in the chamber



The edges of twilight burning are burning / the sky and the stars are falling a Valium heartbeat

insomnia / I can't even think straight



Another daydream about my

hands around your throat

your turning blue

poison in your breakfast cereal

I'll watch you wriggle on the linoleum

like an insect dying



I'll watch you gasp for air

for your last remaining seconds



The edges of twilight are burning /

The sky and the stars are falling a Valium heartbeat

insomnia / I can't even think straight
