Understanding Violence

The hypersonic death.
How long will this thing live ? I was
thinking of anointing you with emeralds.

When the lightning strikes
the bougainvillea, my instincts rise
with impunity. A doe gives a dance

When I stare at the moon,
he explodes like a whale, and I want
to taste the blood. Body leaves for the sun.
