‘til death do us part
escaped their twisted lips
as the dancers clutch one another
in lover’s embrace,
squeezing the life out of each other—
a newlywed couple shedding their disgrace
before they flick the tongue of their knifes
into skin.
No hard feelings, their knifes mutter, slipping intimately
in an act of mutual penetration,
making blood blossom like love on a wedding night.
Their fluids drool over the cold, dead stones—
what sort of release is there in familicide?
