oh, my goth - senryu for Prune Juice


sulky goth -
she found Gothenburg
full of Swedes*

*

going goth
she skips the solarium
for a darkroom

*

goth revival -
”After midnight” suddenly
makes sense

*

baffled -
how to turn vampire
when she's a vegan*

*

skewed waltzes aged goths rediscover Berlin -33

*

after christmas
she returns the sun tan lotion
for bleach

*

”After midday
we're gonna let it all hang out” -
daring goths

*

french kiss -
goth lovers buy antiseptics
by the gallon

*

defangulator: a person who un-entagles goths after a french kiss

*

hardly a tanned spot vactaion in the catacombs

*

”it's your funeral” -
the goth-child claps
his small claws

*

barbed wire
the goth not ready
to go wi-fi

*

bluetooth?
the goth thinks
it's about nobility

*

”I'm at the end of my rope” the goth smiles and dangles off
