pornographic memory

buildings collapse
in the distance,
behind
but I'm
hypnotized
by your
quivering voice,
your
fluttering eyes.
I don't see them
fall.
they could crack open
all the cages,
set every demon free,
send a bullet
screaming
to the president's
head &
crack it open
for everyone to see.
I'm dead
to this world
so
bury me
deep in your arms
tonight.
