STERILIZED ECSTASY BEGINS

 

Sterilized ecstasy begins

 

            to seep

                   into

 

       my consciousness

 

           though

           I

           reject

 

             and slash my wrist

                   injecting

                     eternal agony

 

       scoff at Paradise

                 piss on delight

 

Accursed?                           C’est moi

         Je n’au besoin pas

                 L’illumination

 

                  I exist

           only in night

 

                  yet shed light

                        upon souls

              of humankind

 

         I pierce

            the mind’s eye

         with a splinter

              of loathing

 

            coat the imagination

                 with muriatic acid

 

                that saturates

                  the flesh

and eternally

           scars the tissues

      of the flesh

 

I am mad, yes!

           Non?      Ja!

 

              C’est vrai

 

       Je suis un assassin

             avec un

                   cour mal!
