Twisted days from "Scylla and Charybdis"
Creeping crawling starving
Scylla is fast and silent
you see the shining sun
eat cheese and lemon cake
you close your eyes and heart
you feed Scylla’s fangs
you honey and vertigo filled
you get home and think
the monster only happens
to everybody else
eat bread eat lies at night
sorrow until tomorrow
keep sugar honey sweets
behind your twisted days
Whirling twisting shining
Charybdis is charm and whimsy
you see the scary wound
drink urine and sweet sweat
you open arms and legs
you hold onto Charybdis
bile and saccharine soaked
you dream and come to wish
that that peach can only be
yourself without a doubt
strip and drink and dance
eat flesh eat bones at dawn
keep sugar honey sweets
behind your twisted days.
