NOEL
Outside my window
The church bells chime The First Noel
Incessantly and monotonously
Their sound is empty and hollow
Like this room
Today I walked
The crippled and cracked streets
Passed the other rooming houses
Similar to mine
But different in their own agonies
And always those bells
Bouncing off the boarded up windows
Refracting off the shattered glass
Hovering over the gutter
Bringing joy to the world
Joy that dies upon the sidewalks edge
Joy that finds no quarter in the rooms of...

WRECKAGE
Sifting through the wreckage
Of yesterday’s meltdown
Like returning to the scene of a crime
The last of me
Outlined in chalk
Thoughts of her
Still running down my cheeks
Scars on my arms
No hesitation cuts
Each wound precise
Every gash deliberate
Her name
Carved into my chest
Just over the heart
Slashed in phlebotomic shorthand
My vacant eyes
Reflecting her
Searching for her
Reaching for her
Eventually I will stand
Covered in dry blood and dust ...

Sleep
Choke on my own blood
As I scream myself to sleep
Smothered by unanswered prayers
And parched desires
Like a murder of crows
My devils circle above me
Awaiting the steaming carrion
Of the remnants of my heart
Bled dry and waiting for her
My sorrows countless
The only ones that shall
Share my bed this night
Assemble and lay their traps for me
As my sequestered soul
Wanders the nightscape
Seeking her out
But finding only the hooks and snares
Set by my conspiracy of demons

The only ones that shall
Share my bed this night
Assemble and lay their traps for me
As my sequestered soul
Wanders the nightscape

But finding only the hooks and snares

The Visitor
Beyond my door
Nothing but dark quiescent
Corridors of silence
Cardboard doors locking in
Each to his own nightmares
Men jerking off to senile fantasies
Lady Luck crouching in the corner
A blushing malignant smile on her lips
Twitching her cunt at sexual miasma
And evaporated prayers
We choke on cigarette smoke
Coughing up long-expired dreams
Onto a sagging mattress
Marked with cigarette burns
Dry cum and stagnant wishes
Sometimes on Saturday nights
Comes the sound of a woman's voice
Visiting somewhere...
Nothing but dark quiescent
Corridors of silence
Cardboard doors locking in
Each to his own nightmares
Men jerking off to senile fantasies
Lady Luck crouching in the corner
A blushing malignant smile on her lips
Twitching her cunt at sexual miasma
And evaporated prayers
We choke on cigarette smoke
Coughing up long-expired dreams
Onto a sagging mattress
Marked with cigarette burns
Dry cum and stagnant wishes
Sometimes on Saturday nights

Home
Walking these streets
My feet stick to the pavement
Wet with blood and cum
The air thick and stagnant
Settling in the lungs like ash
All around are seas of broken glass
And scattered shards of dreams
Children with vacant eyes
Playing at gutter wars
Their miniature armies
Filling the night with screams
Teenage existentials
Nursing junk habits
Prepubescent mothers
Trading food stamps for meth
Beggars with cellphones
Pacing the medians
Pigs in blue getting head
In silent...

Four Walls
These four walls
Cold, hostile
Giving no quarter
Closing in like an angry mob
Coming to terms with the alchemy
Of silent desperation
Four walls
Sweating nicotine
And runaway dreams
Moist with tears
And broken hearts
Pacing the floor
A path well worn
The wreckage of myriad regrets
Falling from my heel
Four walls
And two windows
Looking out at
More walls still
An endless array
Of hope fenced in
Four walls
With eyes in them
The eyes of rats ...
Cold, hostile
Giving no quarter
Closing in like an angry mob
Coming to terms with the alchemy

Solitude
In this room...
It's blistered cardboard walls
And a monotonous bulb
Guttering above me
Like a flickering 60 watt sun
That forgot to shine
Surrounded by the scent
Of stale cigarettes
And the scattered remnants of nightmares
Footsteps outside my door
Disembodied fragments of men
Scurrying down infinite corridors of solitude
Leaning out my window
Into the sprawling urban night
The wafting bouquet of garbage
And the relentless symphony
Of sirens and screams

Permanent
This is permanent...
Her name carved into my flesh
Nights full of razor blades
And pissing out my lucky stars
Endless hours spent
In spectral dormitories of the soul
Sharing my bed with an unresponsive shadow
Fatal portraits and indecipherable mosaics
Of rusty blood and stale semen
And random hebephrenic blotches adorn the walls
...I don't remember doing that(?)
Failure to connect
Server not found
Session has expired

Fault
Do not fault me
If I contemplate our stars
And scry the surface of the waters
For answers to who we are
Do not fault me
If I feel with a flame that's too strong
But the road has been severe
The search has been too long
Do not fault me
My voice amorous and sure
Arising from honorable intentions
And a wellspring that is pure
Do not fault me
If my eyes look beyond today
The Fates seem to be at work
In their curious and particular way
Do not fault me
If I love too deeply and burn my...

Soliloquy
I bequeathed my best offering
Yet found myself wanting
Faded echoes of an unanswered prayer
My heart beating like muted thunder
And dreams torn asunder
Somewhere between love and despair
I sought out the sages
And wise fools of all ages
The poets and singers of songs
I searched through the scriptures
And moldy books with no pictures
For an anaswer to how love can go so wrong
Crooked saints and righteous sinners
The losers and the winners
In those amorous matters of the heart
The remain silent

Fire
I'm on fire
The burning sweet burning
Hell shrinks back from my aureole of flames
Hungry for flesh, teeth and bone
Cruel longing standing naked and unsated
I'm on fire
Drowning in sultry, amorous flames
Ignited and unrequited
Branded, stranded, with a love countermanded
Banished to the parched wastelands of the heart
I'm on fire
Choking on the coals of pure desire
Where is the solace,
The wine that was promised
The bright morning promising an end to the night?
I'm on fire
The sun says go on...
The burning sweet burning
Hell shrinks back from my aureole of flames
Hungry for flesh, teeth and bone
Cruel longing standing naked and unsated
I'm on fire
Drowning in sultry, amorous flames
Ignited and unrequited
Branded, stranded, with a love countermanded
Banished to the parched wastelands of the heart
I'm on fire
Choking on the coals of pure desire
Where is the solace,
The wine that was promised
The bright morning promising an end to the night?
I'm on fire
The sun says go on...

Terminal
Terminal landscape of necrotized cities
Grey spectral sidewalks ending in splinters
Streets paved with gravestones
Roving children reared upon barbed wire dreams
Their hollow teeth filed down
And stilettos in their boots
A malignant sky like an open wound
Bruised with an exhausted moon
Skyclad women
Wanton and feral
Spilling syphilitic nightmares
Within vacant doorways
High priests of unconstituted religions
Spelled out in cuneiform shorthand
Myopic prophets foretelling wars already lost
Prognosticating...
