demon lover

or

my life as a demon

(for godsbother?)

let me tell you about

my life as a demon

an agitation

you could call it

run around on fire

of the soul, is it?

a lot of falling

and through the flames

I may well have been cast

demon is a type

put away the horns and tail

keep it in your pants

fell through time and space like this

people whispered

hurtful, said

can you imagine?

and are demons really unclean?

would you sit next to one on a bus?

have you no pity at all... for

inflammation

every joint

then there's the fire in the belly

and elsewhere!

they wanted me for a red hot poker

you can think of it as a game

kind of a politics

there's a lot of the wrong idea

about demons

I was hot

and had the hots

punished! the best part

I can dole it out as well

whips and chains

all hell-forged too

give as good as got

tongue hanging out

and catches

then everything's in ashes

once I heard a crack –

felt something holding back

hell freezing over, as foretold

some garlic breath and back to bubbling

can call up clocks

mischief is magic

now and then a little lilt

and wistful with the flames

look in – how otherworldly there

and future just the same

did I omit demonic laughter?

but I wear the devil's garments

to spare you the ugly truth

and constantly

I'm coming alight

burst into flames

again and again

whenever you're around
