Maybe its the Scorpio rising
that makes the smell of
sex and death cling to my skin
when I slip between worlds,
reminding you of when
I let my godself rain down
where apples rotted
back into rich dark soil
watering seeds
broken open by the heat
of burning cities
and melting concrete.
Your body never quite sure
what to do with the feeling stirred
when you catch my scent on the wind,
never sure what to do with darkness --
the last time you tasted it
it all ended in blood and fire,
but something in you hungers
for the metalic pungence of that blood
and the searing blue
at the center of the flames.
And the crescent moon
you wore around your neck
was born from blackness
to which it cycles back,
but not before it shines
in silver fullness,
moving the waters in me
and calling down the rain.
