headbanging
goth for the basement show
where i’ll catch a prion disease
and the bassist’ll spear me
destined for bust on the wall
overseas radiowaves thru antlers
repeat scene
cling onto a new curly head
who sings with me
with his hair flying
goth for the basement show
midnight walk home slow
because everyone else left
us but he’s too tall
and there’s
no hug to miss

This is so well done! A very compressed scene. I love: “…new curly head/with his hair flying/goth for the basement show.”
i like the structure and the repetition and this: “overseas radiowaves thru antlers” <3 this was a cool read
I am also intrigued by the structure. Your poetry this month has consistently shown some solid decision making in form and word choice. Always a delight to read.
