eggplants ~ two replies to a tweet

 eggplants


like engorged tics

hanging on to your blood

pop them and you’ll see more of your blood than tic

hellish this vision that so shines purple

sliced on the BBQs of hell

then there is the virgin pith

vestal white until fried like unbelieving eyes 

hellish hellish


bloody tears congealed as eggplants

now we just look on in interest

the only fear disinterest

that one should show interest

but really

the ovens just cook eggplants

where are the fields of rye

the bitter spirit of the furnaces’ distillation

past caring for the past is no future
