i am the demogorgon

set fire to the River Jordan

just like the eucharist

I trans-substantiate

I turn wine to water until my stomach aches 

I am the apocalypse

the snake you missed

the apple on your lips

( come give me a kiss )

We started in the water and ended with a whine

Like my burning bush of bullshit 

I spit lies and secrets

On my birthday cake

they spelled my name

in cocaine

( and the river sang )

I am the demon

your girl’s day dreaming of

the one she's trying to become

I am the reason

that the love is tough

I know why Atlas shrugs
