The Candy Imp Poem by Luke J. Holt

The Candy Imp



Trollish beauty is your white shadow
DANCE DANCE DANC
E.
makes you sweat brain-sweat
as if made of light
Blankets of blood
make a blue skin
on your trilling butterfly brain
monkey mouth
making goofy titters
because inadequacy is her favorite thing to ridecule

II
She is my candy imp
she sweetens my thoughts with soggy memories
while she kills me without being in my zip code
