Fissure



We pray with hands 
in pistol formation; 
this is the fading, 
of wisdom.

The Americana

Live fast, yet eternal 
Like an ethereal creature 
With the outlook of a vampire
Classic scenery lies within 
The depth of your high cheek bones 
That carry the weight of pearls 
On ivory skin aged from the 1930s 
Live fast, young and beautiful 
Slender as the tall cigarette
Slightly dangling from the corner 
Of your pouting lips 
A cancerous stare 
As you tap away the ashes 
And place it back on the pure 
Sophistication of your tongue
