They construct spaceports inside our scaffolded jaws
Holy spears blast through our skulls with ion thrusters
We try to clutch our fleeing ghosts with banded claws
We spasm and shit diarrhetic star clusters
They huff nozzled volcanoes to their nitrous core
They snort lines of crushed hopes off my charred mermaid breasts
They rinse their hands with sexmares falling in downpours
They dry them with our screams their hand dryers compressed
They sharpen the edges of orbital planes
We use them to slash our citric-pulp-scaled veins
We chug alien bleach straight from Triton's geysers
They wear cock socks sewn from supersymmetric strings
They pierce Truth's choad and then they clip on Saturn's rings
Our capsulized rapes fill their pill organizers
