the safer devil

take mannequin hands

cold, smooth, mass produced
without windows and smiles

whitewashed, removed truth

hand painted layers

thick satin vermouth

a shallow fix to leave you hardened

given freezer burned touch

sound an inner time bomb tick

smother this plastic

sincere, hungry heat

swim in this plaster - it melts

touch me flesh to flesh

remember stone what it is to feel

take two to moments

indescribably real.
