I will keep on loving those rapacious angels as they
dig their nails into my hair.
Daring me to shout “Hallelujah!”
Same for those demons scoping details of
my sordid fantasies.
They settle on me with savage glee
just around midnight.
We never need lie to each other.
Life is one endless barter until you have
auctioned off your last hope.
You can still visit me.
I have little left to offer but
we can mumble drunken reveries to that
old god who has long gone deaf.
