Amaya Hopkins
Is it all violence from here on out? Virginities lost
To snuff film directors, weapons manufacturers
Father told me the rule of the brutes that
“If you kill someone, you better be ready
To carry that body with you the rest of your life.”
Couldn't believe the words til I met those who were,
Ready for the extra soul weight, haunting of the scenes.
There's ghosts in the items now, and all is two-headed
Infected Chernobyl-like systems of affairs plague
My hope a radical satire. My trust is as serious as Genesis.
My perfume is slow explosions kaaaaaa boooooOOOM.
