a Visit to Her Closet

silver foil balls
blackened hands make for
black-marked walls
"I hope I die here"
she casually remarks
that's not the worst idea
I tell her
"let me give you death
in all of its
shapes and forms"
the color red goes
well with black
so you will be opened up
not for amusement,
but because
We Must Bleed
til the sins of the world
fill this 3x5 space
it may be your tomb
but never your
final resting place
Happy Bday, have a hit
but you should wait
to exhale,
hold it in
til you can taste
the sugar of your
last breath...

how sweet it is
