clearly fancies self a
captain drunk
on the..
highs of heroism
in hedonist
fugue,
overseeing storms
of wardom
from
low hanging
room.
peasants? they’re
all out of
touch..
one hand thrust to
heaven’s
offer
long turned
down..
while weaker palm
gropes
for..
heart that can’t
be found.

tree bird in
a hole..
showing moss where
plumes don’t
grow,
are mother’s worms
poison in the
system?”
asks..
bird too newborn
to know.

we met hanging from
a chandelier,
in some burned
out party
hall,
said i’d be the first
to drop,
well friend..
you weren’t lying,
though from where i stand
it no longer looks
like you’re
flying.
limbs so scrawny, pale
and dangling look
too much..
like a public
hanging.

just here in the cave
under hood,
working away, more
magic whispered
each hour
into
thirsty ears to be
showered
onto page bright and
loud for nobody
to hear,
it’s play but hard work,
my two hands
in the dirt.

a teardrop magnified
in light well,
pain stopped soon as the
dagger action twisted
blade broken,
no blood, all
smoke in
glass,
gains lost in a blink at
the point of
wager,
i’m rummy sailor bored
at port, scanning
tavern for..
a call to
war.

time rolls on like
gran’s pin..
over sourdough better
when baked..
no warmth for
worries..
leave ’em to the captain
of this sinking
kitchen,
just..
some flashback to a
story that never
happened.

mouth’s a pop gun,
tongue sharp
knife,
i fancy myself
blushing
bride..
but don’t call
me wife,
drunk on champagne
kiss, it’s confetti
i speak..
but if you take my
hand, be
wary,
i kiss as cold
as jack’s
feet.

i’m parked at a back
turned table
where confidence is
tacky while..
self-loathing’s
noble,
dinner guests
unfit,
mainstream cable spewing
life’s sawdust,
so out dances a
broom and
host..
sweeps mess under
back turned
table,
to be done with it..
but steps
in it.

rosemary’s not
crazy
eyes just look
spaced
out
when bugs buzz around
her kitchen island,
so tempting
to drop them where
they stand
but..
she’d be forced
to wipe
up
another
manmade mess
with her two
hands.
..those domestic blisters.

i wish and i wish
til my wish
stone
won’t wish, i churn
through hush
screams
til brain’s melting
ice dream..
in a dish, in a cone,
he licks blood
from bone..
whiter than north
pole teeth,
as waves suck toes
into beach.
