Venice beach waves flatline sands
Morphs onto black tar
Yes trap club Isis sliced wind blow
Over your fetishized Côte d’Ivoire
Our skins rapture in
Mutual assent nodding off pasted
In-between PCP infused hatred
Incarnate edge-play
Blood disgustingly monotheistic
Moonlit washed sands baptized
Levitical priesthood
Kiss knowing neither skin is right
Levitating over cobblestone blok
Ghost towns when
Tourists desert trains segregate
Us into designated destinations
