The Perfect Tear

Enough WORld
Wake.
How Chainbreak.
Throw light useLESS.
Bomb exquisite.

The poet's DNA requires
A freedom of word.
Nothing else would ever
Fit on this body.

Tell me Love,
Do you finally believe the WOLf
of me?
(Devours sharp.)

On the day the sun went out
Stones are skipping.
Skipping.
Why did you come to the sea...
another heart break?

NOW
cry me the Pefect Tear.
Say, "Good night."
Then turn out the lights.
