pErFeCt pAiN (Ode) by William Delacroix
i suppose i might like to
claw out all their eyes,
and into the sockets shove
something sharp, like nails
or a router.
then cut off their hands
with something cold,
so the arteries don't cauterize.
and all the while
my beautiful cherry blossom would watch me,
the corner of her mouth
curved upward in a smile.
o the beauty of their perfect pain!
she cannot resist it.
together we'd set the walls ablaze
and make love amidst the flames,
her impossibly white flesh
the same tone as her dress.
her lips a pair of scarlet petals,
her eyes and hair a taste of night.
one of bach's symphonies in my head,
i would time my orgasm
at the exact instant
when the violins crescendo....
afterwards i believe i would drag something jagged,
like a shard of glass,
down their spines,
and peel off their skins.
then collect their severed heads
and build a sculpture
which i would burn.
ketsueki wa namida o arau yo.
