    You wake up with blood in your ears, you wonder what it means.

  • wedding errand

    Walking through a parking lot towards a line of children. Accosted, my money taken. Finally convincing them to let me go — “Please, I’m getting married today.”

    Amazingly — I’m released.

    But the ceremony has started and I’m late.

    Putting on a tuxedo in the great underground empire while searching for a washcloth.

    Sent on some pissant while of an errand by my wife, my own wedding starts without me.

    * * *

    My chest is continually constricted and I have blood in my eyes.

    The gray dawn has returned and my nights are only pain.

  • the blood curse

    Blood, spelling out a hastily scrawled curse or warning:

    “IF YOU CONTINUE, YOU WON’T SEE THE END.
    IF YOU WRITE IT, IT WILL NEVER BE READ.
    IF YOU TELL THE STORY, NO ON WILL LISTEN.”

    And blood scrawling away to nothing.

    A moment to pause and gasp.

    And the voice of Constantine rises within.

    “You want to fuck with me? I’ll bloody choke you, mate.”
