Let’s Kill Us
Do a thing,
Stop doing everything.
Close the lids, shut the lights
Quell the fire, cease the rains, and
Let’s kill.
Us.
Rise, then.
Discover the pleasure again.
Reveal ourselves, let’s
Laugh at what we make of us.
And love anyway. Then,
Let’s kill.
Us.
Paint, then.
Take a dip in each other.
Blend, burn and be,
A smear,
Across the gray.
Then, Let’s kill.
Us.
Let’s be prisoners.
Head west, and a little north
A little that way then, and a little this way,
Until they can find us no more.
And live long.
But first, let’s kill.
Us.
It won’t end us.
