komodo dragon love 2/02/00 two green lights on, one green light off and on the side, a small red light there’s darkness, darkness all around me i close my eyes much tighter still feeble lines of white light scintillate no lucid image do they frame again my eyes are opened, glasses off like Vincent i see all as starry, starry night a hollow pallor does appear as the moonlight speaks through a window on my left to a blurred orange toggle switch glowing on my right two green lights on, one green light off to indicate i am alive there’s darkness, darkness all around me i close my eyes much tighter still feeble lines of white light scintillate her fading form could take the blame volcanic soot and ash dull the landscape spared by fire’s black trail graced before by surface dry blonde grass my love does rest beneath she hasn’t eaten for three months sustaining herself on the fat contained in her tail as though she had been born in steam and nearby liquid rocks do stream while fearful demons squeal and gleam and then she does emerge from deep within her hole in a slow methodic pace her left foot then her body right her right foot moves her body left her hunger brings her close upon me from behind, she doesn’t recognize me now i am devoured, i am torn i am swallowed piece by piece as small moist scraps fall to tiny clouds below how did i just become the breakfast of this rare primordial queen her tongue then licked my rib cage clean so satisfied now her eyes rise higher in the far distance she can sense the scent of drops of distant blood in parts per billion two green lights on, one green light off a tiny vestige dying pride this query i so often make pray tell what part lives on? there’s darkness, darkness all around me i close my eyes against my will feeble lines of white light scintillate i guess my mind has won this game i thought that mercy reigned supreme though heart-felt just a vacant dream not welcomed light as beacon’s beam oh brain that center of cold fact so now you’d have me whole, intact and pulsing lights do testify i close my eyes much tighter still and this i do against my will feeble lines of white light scintillate no lucid image do they frame her fading form could take the blame so mind you thought you won this game she did this all for cash and fame with trainer now she seems so tame my heart will never drop this claim i thought that mercy reigned supreme though heart felt but a vacant dream not welcomed light as beacon’s beam two green lights on, one green light off she’ll be another victim’s bride and on the side, a small red light to indicate i have not died
