Verification code

Enter your verification code for this:

a world

that burns the roof of your mouth

so hair-like slithers of skin

dangle from the point of the pain.

Here you will find

a whole array of shops

lit up in near-perpetuity,

a flock of migrating zombie geese

dropping their acid shit

over semi-deserted conurbations,

people selling body and soul

to be come those who haunt:

this purgatory,

which is the only form

of immortality, complete

in its wretchedness.

Others polish their possessions;

cars, watches, gadgets,

before stuffing them into the earth

and falling in with them

down to the muddy richness

of disintegration

before they are disinterred

at the penultimate station,

where the burnt arched roof

is under permanent repair.
