Bloody Lullaby
by Mike Soper
He’s kissed the needle too long,
Addicted to a black lullaby,
A child
Taking the easy road out of this hell,
The orgasm exclamation, the freight train, the bullet…
Knowing that the only mercy will be a breath like impatient love sinking into a bruise
Or the good ghosts laughing as he nods into night,
Fingers stained with the last bits and pieces
Of the world.
