A Nation At Dusk by romanysoup, literature

Literature

A Nation At Dusk

Debauched and careening, a faint whiff of Rome ablaze, I thought it would be taller, grander, but there is no fight left in it. Its principles have been hollowed. Its resources have been squandered. Its grandeur has been raped. There was a dream, but the young don't remember it, and the old are too tired to care, numbed and worn down, the daily fascistic media bombardment skull-fuck, rootless and tumbling, we scream at the walls, at each other, into the void, denying the body, yet craving the flesh, because no one makes love anymore, and our nation is a masochist.

Sand by romanysoup, literature

Literature

Sand

It takes time to gather myself from here to there, and back. It does not always go well. Fear, I can mask, but not brittleness. Eroded cliffs, a beach I never asked to wash up on, I reach without grasping, getting caught in a loop... Its omniscience, so irritating, yet in beholding its creation, there is no other place to be. One day, it will wake, and find the pile of sand that was me.

MTSM by romanysoup, literature

Literature

MTSM

Bar hostess manners, high intonation, are hallmarks of unescaped prey. The Devil's third wife is the original tea serving marionette, whose laughter is the lilt of warm slaps. Every morning they eat ambrosia; every night, each other. Flies imbibe the juices that run until they turn to candy. Candied flies and beads of sweat dot, dot, dot a surrendered landscape of ivory and coral, red moon and rain, bone and amber, larkspur and pine, resin in rivulets oozes... their dark concessions.

Wet Clotheshorse by romanysoup, literature

Literature

Wet Clotheshorse

Crack diplomacy with a pencil skirt slink commences the overture.Gaussian curves, broadloom angles, take to task restraint. (Gone are the days of principled battles.)We indulge in one terminal dream. Pirates and prostitutes in the same doss... marking fathoms along the way.Inland flooding, flagellated shirtwaists drip dry on the shore of an unknown sea.Ablution, purgation, delirious parlor games for fiends, assholes, and those who know the difference between giving a man enough time and knitting a scarf in Hell.

Deflower by romanysoup, literature

Literature

Deflower

Pull the sash away. Intuit the flower. Garner the sword.Demons quake in satin wallows, pitch black and blood warm.Pluck away the petals only if drinking the nectar.Intoxication finds the sword: sobriety possesses it.Gnashing maw or trembling lips, both are destined to part.Coiling from the crescent, snakes writhe toward water, famished yet true.Blossoms fall, their scent fills the air. Notch a branch in memory.Duelists at an impasse: Make love. -or- Go to Hell.

Rind by romanysoup, literature

Literature

Rind

Silence, as I slip off the edge, one fucked up premonition after another Choice: Stop proving them right. -or- Embrace them all. Open manifest, distorted means, dissonant ends Cackling, as I lie content with the consequences. Come morning, snake tongues will slither. Purloined horses will tread lightly. When heads fly over the ramparts, I'll hold up my shield for one and all, smiling as I die, jubilant in having known you.
