she wore semen stains on her wedding dress.
fancy cannibalistic fantasy
junebug kisses and cigarette dolls
they hung him from a peppermint tree
with a noose made from licorice
and watched with amazement
as he ejaculated a sugar laced with nicotine
salting their suburban lawns
impregnating their teenage daughters
and dissolving their football hero sons
like so many rotten melons
and broken pumpkins
shattered shards of looking glass inserted into candy apples
broken mirror in the eyes of a child
where the wet dreams dry
and the skies are full of landmines
bland minds and transparent lies
everlasting rainbows and endless sunshine
through the tiny holes of a dirty window
catch a glimpse of a naked shadow
gently carressing a soft illusion
making love to a hallucination
like so many rotten melons
and broken pumpkins
and meaningless smiles
