Two
Glass ashtray unfurls;
the Moon riffs on the Dark Side.
Dad's owl is watching.

The Shackled Pen
An obvious mutiny of words
have been strung together as pearls
loose upon the twine—
flung wide across the heavens.
Pluck them from the space
between our mouths; tiny moons,
dim and dwindling in their
capacity to effect genuine tides.
Maybe your lips, dead as tomes,
flap their pages with the placidity
of dead letters; hanging slack
amidst the stark shackles that bind them.
Here lies a dying breed.

Walking Through Fire
I’ve been blinded, living in my hindsight;
desperately clinging to the contrite.
Foresight is a fury, set to ignite.

Transience
A sleeper burrows into the mind.
The words trickle through the velum,
like paint along a channel of veins.
They migrate towards the tip of the pen
finding release from this strangled shell;
coating the paper with inky relief.

Lament
Your eyes rest in the dark. Unseen is
the bottled filth that threatens to
explode—coating your acumen.
Stop waiting for the dead words
to find your ears; they will not wade
through the flooded dregs to find you.
Reconciled as a harlot of God, you
must raise the gates of perception.
Allow the knowledge of your betrayal
to seep into the fibrous core of your being.
Only then may you come, bent on hollow
knees; begging absolution that only
comes from the blood atonement.
Better your flesh and destruction ...
the bottled filth that threatens to
explode—coating your acumen.
Stop waiting for the dead words
to find your ears; they will not wade
through the flooded dregs to find you.
Reconciled as a harlot of God, you
must raise the gates of perception.
Allow the knowledge of your betrayal
to seep into the fibrous core of your being.
Only then may you come, bent on hollow
knees; begging absolution that only
comes from the blood atonement.
Better your flesh and destruction ...

Magic
Darkness caresses this vessel with her
spiny fingers.
The essence— lost to the shrill wind
is buried in her deep loam.
Where is your illumination?
Come with your lantern, swaying
amongst the stars.
Cast their lambent fire
across this dreary sepulture.
Awaken the dreamer.
Call her to the nights embrace; shrouded
in your dark mystery.
So she remains yours, eternal.

Life
She threatens my core.
I bend through the hurricane;
Life cannot break me.

Life cannot break me.

Keep your dead flowers.

Corvus
I was languishing in a pool
of somber stagnation when
you peeked into my tiny cage.
A little bird grown silent.
For too long I had
no song to sing.
Into my lungs you breathed
a fiery plume;
filling me with a fervid hunger.
Ravenous, I was; eager to devour
every golden drop of honey that
dripped from your lips.
Caught in your dewy web.
Comfortable in the familiar.

But you know, and I know…
Little birds were meant to fly.

This is Death
Words fail me.
They do not slink
into my mind
with their hands of solace.
Underworked and overutilized—
they paint splashy titles
without salt to give them flavor.
A blank sheet of
stark realization; a dark moment.
Fear.
Exquisite fear of my past desiccation,
barren of outcome; hanging heavy
in the atmosphere and
suffocating my senses.
I feel a mockery of desperation.
It concedes to my idle contentions—
Would it be, that I am again transfixed
by the weakness of ...

Did You Live It?
Lita plays on repeat—
a skip in my record
of memories.
Aqua Net big, standing tall
in a rat’s nest of glory.
Mama let me paint my
nails electric blue.
Pulled on the neon-pink
netted shirt with the fringe.
Marlboro Red dangling
from the corner
of my Cherry Chapstick lips.
Shooting pool, looking for
someone to buy beer;
your giant Nova tires
burning tread on the
hot asphalt.
I still have the dried
roses, tucked away like a
screaming memento.
a skip in my record
of memories.
