; Harsh

; it's a modern day crush.

 ; To sate the gluttons sweet tooth,

Belle brought Grey Goose & strawberries.

Sacrificed to the deaf,

To moans.

Constricted in the sheets,

A generation game.

Someone took shots to the anthem,

For The Captain & for Hard Rock.

Belle used them on the altar.

Soulful Blues, too!

The things, sticky sweet, of dreams.

Them, he & Belle.

She smoked a haze about intent,

With cigarettes,

With cancer.

White! White!

Red on white, black & dark & shadow.

Beneath sing-songs of "those days"

& the stench of the play,

Belle fell asleep,

Asleep entwined in memory of sex & chocolate.

Interesting stream of consciousness you've got going on here. My mind was all over the place when I read this, from wanting liquor, to chuckling at the "deaf moans," to wanting to rock out, to Belle and Sebastian. I enjoyed this--thanks.
