Video by Ryan Parmenter

Crack that egg, pale angel,
Sue the womb,
Sliding on a whimsy blackout,
Ennui, embalm me out of the blue,
Trickle down the blooming empire,
I’ll create a shape of something warm I can defile,
You hung yourself a day before your trial,
Naked, limp, little pixies sniffing glue,
Chalk it up to spreading good cheer,
Break your fingers when you’re petting on the cold aware,
When it rains rice and curtseys,
I’ll meet you and Laika in the hall of fame and shiver ‘til I’m full.

"OWNER REVISITED"

putting up flypaper,
trying to catch ghosts on the fireship of Baie Des Chaleurs,
i’ll peel all their wings back,
put a match to a tick,
lick the frosting off a coffin"
