The Asphyxiation Of Lisa

Deep grey white noise,
Sterile thumbnails,
Float in tepid concrete pools where children drink.
Stark white numbers
Bitter houseflies
Float in tepid concrete pools where burdens drink.
Remember it's over, surrender.
It's over.

In time laminate
In time seeping transition
Strave here in faith
Starve here in vain
[such thin chaste, mute, split and still.]

Carve when it's over
Cry when it's over
Cry all in time
Carve your name in.
Cry.
Carve.
