Arthur Rimbaud Was Born Today

Blood underneath your nails
My blood....always mine
Kiss my scars
Pain of flesh....pain of heart
I want to suck your breasts
At first tenderly....then with lustful hunger
Cry out in joy
Cry out in despair
I can hear you
Loud and clear
Drunken degenerate dawn
Is that who you think I am?
When I gave you everything
When I made you feel
That it was only you....
No one sits on a mountain
Lording it over the world
Forty days in the desert
Being tempted by the beast
All the riches for you
If you worship the horned one
Sabotage destiny
And pull yourself down from the cross
Why are only men crucified?
Women get stoned
The needle enters the flesh
Intercourse
The needle is male
The flesh is female....
Arthur Rimbaud was born today
Revolution through blood and suffering
Remember our hellish season?
Our gaze locked
Our souls conjoined twins
Forever trapped inside of you
Watching the blood flow through your veins
Listening to your heart pounding drum
Sweeping vistas in your eyes
I never swore in your church
Never took your name in vain
Never brought any gift but love
I am at peace with that....
