THE HEART’S CONCEIT
Wings of blood on our filth-stricken bandages
The reconfigured skin and cartilage
The steel rods through violated flesh
The sacraments of torture and lividity
These are the gifts I’ve wrought of your piety
The iron furnace I built in your name
Now is the time to take what is owed me
Now is the dawn of the season of pain
I tear my insect-eaten veil
My faithful kneel in broken glass
They sing long after their throats are bleeding
I crown myself in scars
All is loss and rot around you
Such misplaced carotid tissue
Narcotic sex and sinew
Aortic incest
The heart's conceit

YOUR GRIEF HAS TAKEN MANY FORMS
I watched you wander through the field
When there was no one else I’d comfort you
Your grief has taken many forms
No holy books can bring them back to you
Crowned in blood
Behold my empire
Come to me
I will enfold you
I knew your family as they died
Sinful and sorrowful you came to me
The crows have eaten out their eyes
It’s time to pay me what you owe me

WITCH
In the town of the burning women
The teeth clench on the blackening tongues
Impurity spreads throughout this world
The Empress kneels and pisses in the flowers
Sunshine on the field of ashes
Diamonds and honey drip deep in her throat
Even to pain is there a season
Counted and measured ‘cross the pages of flesh
Cross your heart and hope to fucking die
You taste just like roses and suicide
Harvest the corn from the fields of death
The scars of the heart are committed to the flesh
Even to pain is there a season

Suicide Queen Los Angeles, California
“Suicide Queen is the ritual of turning pain into power. Every slamming drum, every pounding note, and every horrid shriek is part of a ceremony, a new revelation ushered in by deafening noise. It is loud, it is wicked, and it is not kind. In the twin shadows of heartbreak and death, in the absence of salvation, lie sound and sickening fury." ... more
