demon in a sanctuary
taint the fruit, sweet apple full of sugar
with honey bees coming in to taste nectar
dripping from a used up doll wanting to
be the center of attention once again. play
with me, she nodded, with fangs long like
a shadow looming when light hits beneath
surface. the glow does not matter when kept
within, cast away with dark growling, then
meets the moon. retraces the path scorching
when springs coil tight, too tensed now, with
screeching hellish fiends scrapping for leftovers,
becoming bitter memories with bees giving
their sting, arms swell to become like elephant's
legs and a failed play turns to regret. she tears
at apple rotting with worms, slurping them up
like candy, dances on her toes, tip toes across
light breaking out of surface, a shadow flits
down back to earth having seen yellow. worn
out, drained out, crescent holds still while the sun
searches around with earth wearing the faces of
demon and angels both rattling within one suit.
a suitcase filled with surprises, another vacation
to unload that heavy something. something amiss,
like the ugly leftover screaming while all around
light rises till the shadow vanishes. i'll pay, i'll buy,
i'll own the moaning figure said while the sun
rounded around the corner, gave light a kiss. the full
moon appeared all bright and not so yellow. radiant
now with pearls dripping towards friendless earth
still burying all that rising tide inside a belly rumbling
with too many missed chances. the green leaves shot up,
touched the sky, with roots anchoring beneath sea, with
mountains erect, proud and dead bees littered all over
rocks turning to dust. fireflies scouted along sands of
radiance, glowing like a heart beat. of sun and moon
becoming light. like feathers floating to heaven -
then a doll thrashes at identity hers alone. can't fit in,
can't become part of this. not a transaction.
