"I tried to turn burn marks into sticky drizzles
but my whip-poor-will songs oozed out red pussy
willow nightmares. I did not wish for red devil centers
with the last turquoise eggs falling out, cracking.
My wisdom teeth never grew to replace those holes."

from the poem, "Red Lunatic" appearing within POISONOUS BEAUTYSKULL LOLLIPOP
