Tooth-Fairy Retribution Manifesto - Rodan

no mystery from which to steer

wide eyes blind

…sometime … me?

the color of blood

she left on the playground

justice and a fist

and paper sugary things

like smiles

in a handfull of teeth

ripped apart

… you know

it always terrified me

clothes?

kissing the pillow

doing it on the…

comes to.

to

come down

on

you

what its like to?

shadows?

edging, scraping at you

fear, heckling

moving around you

I always feared

the bloody ring

the broken flesh

the words without hearts

the human bodies like a predator

grace

and then it comes

huge

dragon’s ring

a dirty excuse

for an angel?

straw & black feathers

clacking across the floor

like change cracked from the guts

of the tooth fairy

…wings of birds?

broken flesh

it’s fingerprint is sliding under the pillow

lifts with its hands and

extracts the gift

to pocket a piece of skull

and checks to see if the chest moves

if i knock out every tooth of

everyone who that tried to break my body

and covered them up with a pillow at night

for monsters to take

then at dawn i’d be rich with pennies

and the blood left behind

Tron

the nights i slept

over at your house

you’d to anything for me

watch over me

protect me

watch me sleep

we’d sit in bed and read and read and read

and spill tea on the sheets

sometimes we’d read and run all night

when i was five and you were alive

all around the house

and smoke and get behind

i dream

i’m walking to where you lie

your hair

gone grey

silver

and raised off your face

the shades remain unchanged

i slowly went to the room and walked to the bed

to check your pulse

if you were still alive

and i’d spend the night

i knew you’d never leave me

never leave me behind

the smoke and the static and the light that came thru the shades was the same

the shadow and the static and the light that came thru the shades was the same

x2 more (variations on shadow/smoke/static/light)

the smoke and the static and the light that came thru shades was the same

the smoke and the static and the lights and the shadows that came thru

shades was the same (w/tara)

was the same as your skin

your mouth was open wide

but there was nothing left inside

the tv static rolled

grey gone cold and alone
