Non-retractable Vanity: Exodus 16 Manna and the Quail
love his painted nails
jesus would have given him
a man's manicure and kissed his toes
love his eyeliner feathered like quails
video hasn't killed the radio star
exodus 16 manna and the quail
she claims that name in holy fame
by the light of jove lit in aether billboard
flame
feeding his
grief he lays down
at the tombstone a red rose
he sings a rock sermon
standing in platforms he chose
painted like lily munster gorgeous not herman
he's a marketable brand his platinum warhol hair
I could swear he carries angel dna in his androgynous pose
love her
hand claws
non-retractable vanity
her leopard surfaces in attendance
at the reading of the alternative ten commandments
cosmic laws
she writes truth
apocryphal poetry
figuratively she dislodges
a wedge with a wedge she drinks
hair of the dog to alleviate social blunder hangover
few hairs of the same dogs that bit her she applies method
of treatment to the wound the ratsbane dies you can see it in
her eyes protected from all of their lies exodus 16 manna and
the quail wilderness of sin
