Man in the moon

The quick grunt he made
was not near as satisfying
as the night he became me
and jumped off every bridge he could find.
Life is beautiful,
just like the fur i own, 
like the crystal i collect.
However sleeping with stones and fiber
ruins the last pale parts
of my sun carved skin.
This city is overwhelming,
like being fucked up on a tire swing, 
holding your breath whilst injecting
every word a liar has ever fork tongued 
into virginal ears. 
The last part of me
that remained virginal, 
jumped off the bridge with him
the night he became me.
And if anyone else knows
the horns my soul 
keeps honking, its him.
Ask him when you find him, 
if at the climax
of his impact
he found my secret soul 
in the core of the earth.
I used to jump on trampolines 
reaching for the moon, 
because I loved it.
When I realized
the moon was connected
to my own noose
I fell in love with the man in him, 
the thrill of his possible kills.
But the night the moon became me, 
it was morning as soon as we touched.
