Heaven's Test

                   
 Kisses     of Paint
                               crimson red 
                                                   
                                                    and

                                violent blue              
wept 
          across
                       the lips
                                      of gods
                                                   offer 
                                                            complete 
                                                                              
annihilation.




   Gleaming and wet
                                                 like tears of glass
                                                    sweet and sharp

numb

                                          the body's pain.


                                        At twilight's streaming
                                       
      
            from the tip   of a brush 


                                      Desire Runs,

into a pool  
                      OF PIGMENT.
 

LUSH AND DEEP  
in narcotic rhythm                                                                                              
                             

forty lashes 
                        STAIN THE FLESH .
                            
                      
                                               
The colors 
 rest...
           Heaven's test.
