Evanescent like the scent of decay
I was fading from the race
When in despair, my darkest days
Ran amok and forged her face
From the fairest of handmaidens to
A slick perverted wraith
Nymphetamine
Heaving midst narcissus
On a maledict blanket of stars
She was all three wishes
Sex, sex, sex
A lover hung on her death row
I was hooked on her disease
Highly strung like Cupid's bow
Whose arrows hungered meat
And the blinding flare of passion
In the shade of narrow streets
Where their poison never rationed
All the tips they left in me
Two tracks
Bric-a-brac
Something passed between us like a bad crack
Upward-lit, I'd met another kind
Of rat
In fact
With every Rome inside me licked and ransacked
She haunted at the corners of my mind
In black
Cataracts
Wouldn't whitewash away her filthy smoke stack
She burnt me like a furnace
For my future suicide
