The

[Angel Androgynous]

He,

he who held it in his hand,
and gently put it to his lips,
blowing it away,

and euphoria choked him,
and it stung his eyes,
and it spread and spread,
flickering and fogging up,
engulfing everything in its
firm grip.

And his eyes welled up with it,
and they were bulging,
and he breathed and
breathed,
and it pierced his heart
with a stainless steel

needle

fresh out of an autoclave,
and it pierced it

again
and
again,

and his lungs turned
a deep, deep red,
and it choked them
up, squeezing the air out.

And he felt good.
