Confessions

I want to drop you,

Into the ocean with my palm,

The waves are strong –

Blue, blue, blue more-

Blue

 

Three girls free float,

Down,

One holds five different,

Sized balloons

Black, white, red, yellow –

Blue

One white hearted child plays,

Madame Jojo is waiting-

To swallow her tears,

Black tears.

Your broken

Geisha mask

Blue, Black eyed horse

Made of human limbs

Skeletons of logs

Sorry farther,

Forgive me -

For I have sinned,

I cursed those children.

Ripped out their tongues,

Cut out their eyes,

Drowned their souls with gin

To ease the pain

Then made a date with devil,

Not god.

To set us all free-
