Kisses & Kerosene

Poem written by Otep Shamaya I wish I could have you Here

In my clutches

To remove the excuses from your mind To part that haze and slice your soul to pieces

To sing a lullaby as I tied you to the slab To shave your head with a dulling razor

As you watch In the splattered mirror above you

To break your ribs individually With a rock hammer

To shatter your shin bones With a shovel

To burn your fingers & toes To a necrotic black With liquid nitrogen

To crack your teeth With a splintered club

To pierce your limbs With a nail gun

To silence your cries To laugh in your eyes

To sharpen my favorite slicing device And take your arms ah the elbows

To keep u alive For a few moments longer

To smell your fear To cover your body With kisses & kerosene

To watch u burn As my human sacrifice To hear you Scream in agony

The popping Of your flesh Crackling As it cooks

To feel your child smile The one u betrayed The one you took

For nothing For selfishness

...in a Pefect world I would get My wish.
