"The fin is coming a little early this siŽcle ": Angela Carter.

millennium

all is beautiful

in god's eyes . . . it's everyone else's

that i'm not so sure of.

ask for an angel and

they send me

you.

rough-hewn

red-handed

wings . . . no more.

someone

said

something to me today

that made me feel so very . . .

something-or-other

left unsaid. somewhere

i lost my way.

but you'll do---

for now;

i'll be here. in your arms & forget that at sunrise

comes the pre-planned

apocalypse. pre-fab figures composed

of machet & twine . . . we can

wrap semi-conductive wires 'round our bodies

so that when the bomb drops

our kiss

ignites.
