Twin sisters,
different prismatisms;
diffracted
into these organisms:
they let you just forget that awful schism –
I can't live like this:
Half spectral,
manifesting only in
your bed in
ultraviolet, infrared,
while others watch in seven colors
I can't even see
Oh, Iris,
what became of us?
You'd think some virus,
crystallizable from our affection came
and split the light back into black and white
(I'm in a hole)
Come over;
I've forgotten how to braid your hair and
bend the light to hold you close,
now our goddesses are ghosts
and you're a mascot for the winning team
(I'm in a hole)
Hell's an island in the sun,
and I will see you there when this is all done.

(You're out of the house!)
(You're out of a job!)
(You're out of your mind!)
Somewhere over us,
some girl in Kansas
astrally projects into our Technicolor premises, and
Somewhere under us,
there's another us,
resigned to violence and small-town disappearances
and I don't need your time
I don't need your sympathy or your honey wine
My curiosity's satisfied
My ninth life starts, and finally I'm wise to you
My body lies to you,
as I take what I need
