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...
My feet stick to the pavement

Filling the night with screams
Teenage existentials
Nursing junk habits
Prepubescent mothers

Beggars with cellphones
Pacing the medians

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
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

Could you...?
Could you love this mean spirit
And give shelter to this
Defector from heaven?
Could you embrace me
When I'm coming undone?
Could you take my hand
As the world ends?
Could you let me caress your scars
And decipher their meaning?
Could you let me kiss your wounds
And their bitter memories?
Could you be the logical conclusion to my dreams?
My only answered prayer?
Could you......?
And give shelter to this
Defector from heaven?
Could you embrace me
When I'm coming undone?
Could you take my hand
As the world ends?
Could you let me caress your scars
And decipher their meaning?
Could you let me kiss your wounds
And their bitter memories?
Could you be the logical conclusion to my dreams?
My only answered prayer?
Could you......?

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

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...

Deliverance
I left God behind; or he left me behind
Either way, I don't quibble over the details
There was once a time
When my universe was inhabited
By all manner of specters and spooks
Lingering residue of a Catholic youth
I read the meandering gospels
In all their asymmetrical splendor
Listened as Jesus spoke
In riddles and beatitudes
In direct opposition to the will to life
Watched as he died for the sins of the world
The height of altruistic presumption
I cowered in the shadows
Of the confessional ...

EROTIC POEM

The Most Beautiful Woman In The Room
She's the most beautiful woman
In the room
I lick the air as she passes
Rife with perfume and subtle perversion
Languidly, in soft sultry motions
She moves like a cheetah
With poise and deliberation
Like nickelodeon 1920
She goes about in flickering frames
Never quite as she was the moment before---
now seductive
now demure
now flirtatious
now unsure
She moves effortlessly through
myriad poses of amorous delight ...
