the Man has descended
his landing shook the earth
the darkest angels shivered
and gave the Man berth
he tucked in dark wings
to the shape of long coat
his face a pale deathmask
bible verse in his throat
pulled on fingerless gloves
and buttoned red velvet vest
his shimmering blue eyes
enough to hide the rest
the Man has descended
her sweet love on his mind
his blessings on sunday
but his heart's left behind
his watch ticked out the seconds
as if it could stop time
she dreamt up an angel
as she swallowed the dime
his kisses were sweet
cold but divine
her body electric
each and ev'ry time
his clawlike fingers
traced patterns and wards
'pon her trembling skin
left her begging for more
the Man has descended
and he ain't goin' back
pale skin and blued eyes
in red velvet and black
