Comic Book Fantasy<\/h1>\n

by SMC Wamsteker<\/p>\n

His gift to me: a concealed mirage in an urban wasteland,
\ntucked away behind Taco Bell and a 76.<\/p>\n

On a dark corner a black door a hidden entrance with a faceless bouncer.
\nWe enter a delicious department of hell
\nMy company two useless men who just closed a nervous deal.
\n(Once inside they turn into snakes)<\/p>\n

Out of the crevices of the underworld you crawl
\nYou cropped seraph with your alcohol-swollen lips
\nThe moving walls release you like a birth and you
\nMaterialize among the mass of powdered hermaphrodites,
\nYour naked skin still moist from the recent partus.<\/p>\n

Feline eyes green like insect blood
\nHook me without words but with a broken promise.
\nI get drunk with the brief taste of your absinthe lips
\nAnd nothing remains but lust in a sea of heated despondency.<\/p>\n

Helium headed I want to drink you up, my Manga girl
\nbut instead, I kiss you once
\nthen lose you
\nForever<\/p>\n

I have come back too often,
\nlike a dog in heat picking up a bodiless scent,
\nlooking for the door ever since, but in vain.
\nAll I see is a blind breathing wall on another lost corner
\nof my life,
\nthat I lost the moment I chose to leave with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
