Smiling at me

under perfect smiles
a cavity forms
beneath white majesty
the perfect secludes
torn from compost
composite destruction
the bracer-tight illusion
conspires against me
a shot ringing out
too late to catch
pieces of my scalp
fallen, exposed my insides
eyes in the back of my head
blinded by sandstorms of lead
wicked grins
as blurred conception calls
aimed up
at perfect reflection falls
to see my raptured self
splashed and leaken
"I want no more
see me down
don't leave me now"
still as waiting
waiting still
spy up, a guardian-angel
who only gives smiles
empty unholy gestures
penetrating me like
curious children
"can it be
without feeling"
a mid-term ecstasy
drowning empathy
from the lips
of a vacant mouth
smiling down at me
