Talking to the devil
when you can say you’re not that kind person anymore but you still are
just quicksilver sliver of night shivering terror for the razor touch
she doesn’t haunt me anymore
nor do tragic mists and shipwrecking shark mouthed siren muses
my blood doesn’t flow in the water
like it used to
some of us
never outgrew Edgar Allen Poe and punk rock
some Camus for good measure
(as much as we’ve tried)
“What do you know about punk rock?” she asked
