Cracked

You watch me

In the strip light
Giving me your best impression of
The Glad Eye

Unknowing,
But even then I heard
The filament rattle, rattling
in dead eyes

Later.
Pausing, Shielding
Eyes locked skywards,
Searching out a dying star

Buzzard prowl and swarm me
You grip too tight
Flecked bruises bear love
All voltage, no light

In clawed clutches I wake
The beast now
Swiftly to the fore
Where vicious hearts remain

Steady lion, you
Draping the chair
In velutinous sovereignty you sit
Stock still, stony stare'd

My faded lover Goodbye.
Leaving, it cracks,
The yolk runs red,
Seeping slowly earthbound.

Not really meant to be rhythmic, I just try to do it straight off the bat. Can't bitch too much about feedback though!
