Disheveled pathetic John staggered into the empty church like a madness out of the asylum. He went straight up to the altar dragging sickness and alcoholica behind.
For five minutes he stood silently as if waiting for something to burn. The balding priest entered on time. He sat in the pew and gazed serenely upon John.
John began trembling. His eyes became haunted with restless paranoia. The priest never altered his gaze. You could almost pluck the calmness from his eyes. He seemed like he was willing to wait forever.
John began hyperventilating. He clutched his chest and struggled to speak.
"Come on son just let them out," the priest exclaimed.
John startled looked at the priest with the eyes of a zealous vendor.
"Father I've got some demons for sale," he said.
The priest nodded. "How much?" he asked.
Just one but it will cost you your soul," John replied.

a stretch the length of lips wrapped 'round in yr sheets' music consider something other than a statistic to voice hearts breaking in yr head
i've been mad about since the day you were born didn't know that then your eyes' slow winter frightens i'll make myself scarce in and through them my conveyor belt tongue sends flowers
when i weep you it's simply i don't know always positive i'm not sure how to turn you off i'm wearing you an addiction that smokes through my pores taste it
1. take off your clothes young one circle 'round the pain swollen with a chaotic confetti and headhollow noise here are old and young pretty hungry pretty in waste pretty in no sheets to shroud pale flesh exaggerated highly made-up frenetic long legs cherubic bottoms delicate hands bridge bosoms paranormal eyes flashing
2. last night i'd dreamt your love in drunken sleep soured into nightmares of premature departure wake up to smoke get out of my tarantulized head sort through the oblivion material readied for me a rolodex of bad things no one wants really spins the wind the wind motherfucker and things that you'd said mad in thick dark bigboned night
3. inside your body stirring some framework glowing out that me in you and you in me gentle kick head expanding then tiny'd in the tunnel breath upon breath a brick wall forming slowly ahead of either of us on either side a top spins the wind purrs pearls of everlasting now we're expecting exceptions and embraces enclosures that you and i can sway in rosaries 'round our necks and laurels 'round our heads bared so open totally present
4. she's too rough and i'm too delicate -- the smiths, from 'pretty girls make graves'
squeal of tires cop car sirens 'round
a shout is heard loud as no one at all
drunken stumbles from club confesses i heart heaney
her arms interrupt through the air bites sucks my neck hard
shrieks follow me one and all to the palace of love the fleshy carnival we bedspin come
5. her words erupt my face roaring waves of peacock feather tender pleasant hand on shoulder up to the sky look where held her closer movements happening outside in stiff suits
stood there a moment as the songrung sponge of our bodies let a thunderstorm of nerves surging up strings heavy through our mouths into mouths doing a mouthy thing to do
6. as a chandelier i wish so hard too much stand there a moment
her eyes wander in and out of my supra-consciousness
speak of love in particular thrownoff space kick the eyelids open one by one slowly at first ease in as into water dropping proof could swim least likely to succeed it once was said awake enough to keep the wake long enough at it for another body to enter my eyes' box have seen her standing there for hours tossing hair back there way back there what i want what we all want what i need call obsession let it ring a lure an honesty to dangle from my lips a cigarette don't slouch she said i waited for hours ears lowered lowered down to know consider me a mule consider my secrets consider my confessions considered clean considered someone and anyone do you follow
my house is out so like my knees fragility's whoopass succumb she said someone darkhaired like me rolls 'round and 'round in chez fantasy like someone's past that i don't know that's just fine that's just dandy who's oblivious is not me i don't want to be having to's desire is what's essential
