Perforated stigmata, the Ruby stream
Erosion to weather the cliff-face
I had to crucify you.
There was no other way
Mountainous insurmountability
My liability

Don't tell me you love me
Don't tell me you like my taste
Not the music
Not the art
Not the lovers in my heart
Can you see the accident?
Not the murder
Not the pain
Just the blood
This silent little mess
