The haunted Irish



Bow your head
and  let me tie your wrists.
Close your eyes,
Pretend you are a wounded angel
So that I can take you to the earth
beneath earth.
To  Baltimore beneath Baltimore
where  weeds sprout in people’s shoes.

Let’s  live on a dime’s reflection
let's play with the gloomy gloom of skeletons.

Haunted by the piano marteaux



Male skin that smells like green tea
makes Ava explode into simmering dust

she takes her lover's fingers into her mouth
and licks them slowly giving him pleasure

The piano marteau* appears in the dark
flying around ; a weird bone of a dead dog

Ava starts howling  
her arms shiver and her teeth cold
''L'hiver, l'hiver''** her lover shouts
as the blizzard breaks out in the room


*marteau(x)=the small white hammers inside the piano 
**l'hiver=the winter (a french word)

The lullaby of a scared soul



We felt lonely.
We felt thirsty like an arid lake.

Things started travelling into the universe without us,
shadows of a graveyard flying around,
pirate ships sailing on our stomachs
The loud noise of the tree trunks was coming.

The little unicycle fell off the table.
The little unicycle fell off the stairs.
