Costly Disdain
You glisten bronze in the morning sun
gliding across the sand.
My pale body, barely awake, would startle anyone.
I smile through my drunken fog and say,
“Listen in the distance, a lone gull cries.”
You look back on me surprised – perturbed.
Now I have your eyes!
“We always hear the gulls cry on this beach,
but don’t always have to step around drunks,”
and your eyes turn quickly away.
I stare after as your form grows smaller in the distance.
I memorize the lovely shape of your silhouette against the blue sky. ...

Charnel House
Where are we going
when we grow old?
Will we sit in a room
watching life go by
from an Old Folks tomb?
Awaiting the Grim Reaper’s
affections
replacing our pain and
Family rejections……….
Will we pass away the
hours
staring out the window
one day covered in
flowers?
Will we ever come to
realize
need to let go and love
before it’s too late?
(before)
Everyone
wonders
why did

Judas
The monster
Who betrayed me
I caressed his paws
With offerings of quietude
Only to sharpen
His claws on my back
Who betrayed me
I caressed his paws
With offerings of quietude
Only to sharpen
His claws on my back

Broken Dolls
We love the night's nameless quiet, bask in the shadows that cast across our pink canopy beds. The way the cats' bodies curl together like commas at my toes. In my mouth I taste the softest hint of peach, the softest hint of blood. My mother puts calla lilies in a vase, the length of her throat tender and white. Her eyes distant and sad. It's the strange things that make me melancholy, the hand soap, the air freshener.
So much dust everywhere. Fingerprints on the TV screen. On the dishwasher. It gets under my skin, this soft disorder, this gentle decay. Absorbs into my dreams. The...

Inner Demon Deluge
Slow death
In a burning room
Cloud of smoke the back drop
To the dancing flames
Slow motion doom
It’s like the war
Raging in my mind
Little battles
Striking matches
Feeding all the fires
Devils playing in dark corners
Drawing pictures
With burning petrol
Arsonists all
My barriers crumble to ash
Everyday I pray for peace
Pray for rain
Nobody hears
But the demons
Spitting fire
In a burning room
Cloud of smoke the back drop
To the dancing flames
Slow motion doom
It’s like the war
Raging in my mind
Little battles
Striking matches
Feeding all the fires
Devils playing in dark corners
Drawing pictures
With burning petrol
Arsonists all
My barriers crumble to ash
Everyday I pray for peace
Pray for rain
Nobody hears
But the demons
Spitting fire

Sleep (Forever)
I close my eyes tonight
and gaze into the darkness
Death overcomes me and
I merge into emptiness forever
Lonely blissful solitude
Bereft of silly emotions
like love and sadness
and yearning and hate
Time stands still - of course
it was always just the illusive creation
of some human who had the hubris
to believe he controlled his fate
I'm nothing, life is nothing, in the end
Life doesn't matter & neither do I
One star glowing in an infinite universe
has no power to make a difference
I...

another attempt at a Triolet
and there is nothing set in stone
like trauma chiseled on a face
lacquered with blood and crushed bone
and there is nothing set in stone
like trespass of a special place
and there is nothing set in stone
like trauma chiseled on a face
..

lacquered with blood and crushed bone

remy's outro
giveth as much as taketh
opening eyes to darkened sky
how god shows fury
distraught something's happened
how has favor blackened
father’s gone
t h e s o n g stopped
they expected a continuance of dancing
opening eyes to darkened sky
how god shows fury
distraught something's happened
how has favor blackened
father’s gone

The Deep Throat
Ah, those tidal waves
Surging, crumbling, rumbling
Along with thunder’s thumbing
Wind’s whining and rain’s roaring
Vibration came from his throw-up
The coughing deep throat
With malignant tumors
Vomiting millions of bombers
Such dampened cold and dark
Such violent shivers and quavers
His shapeless gigantic hand
Grasping and throwing
Wielding and smashing
At the decrepit buildings
Falling, falling, falling…. ...
Surging, crumbling, rumbling
Along with thunder’s thumbing
Wind’s whining and rain’s roaring
Vibration came from his throw-up
The coughing deep throat
With malignant tumors
Vomiting millions of bombers
Such dampened cold and dark
Such violent shivers and quavers
His shapeless gigantic hand
Grasping and throwing
Wielding and smashing
At the decrepit buildings
Falling, falling, falling…. ...

The Collector
carefully wrapped in paper,
he always gives his best;
tied up tight with fancy bows,
displayed with all the rest
the prettier the package,
the easier the prey;
girls are easily flattered,
by gazes that betray
he gifts them with his poison,
his words are silk and wine;
when heavy eyes glaze over,
he plucks them from the vine
he always gives his best;
tied up tight with fancy bows,
displayed with all the rest
the prettier the package,
the easier the prey;
girls are easily flattered,
by gazes that betray
he gifts them with his poison,
his words are silk and wine;
when heavy eyes glaze over,
he plucks them from the vine
