The Clockwork Madrigal
*For the Edgar Allan Poe ala The Raven contest**
Dreaming murmur,
as weary volumes
wrought open, whispered,
once forgotten chamber doors
from a stir of words—purple
the tongue silken hours
Souls always gather
like an echo's tongues,
where Lenore lay dying...
For centuries,
minutes like embers—
seconds burning
a demons harvest
for a glimpse
into and
beyond this world
and the scars
of nevermore.
The floor is weak
where ghosts
don once mortal shades,
restless
murmured the sunset...

Satanic Memorae
From within this light disturbed
the small shadow, cowering among
those despotic temples--
the image sunken deeper;
prayers full of words
both sacred and divine
and left the profane blank;
opening, belief is unusual,
within those silent, unholy corridors
where desperate eyes speak unto
those reprobate angels scattering
like vermin under the neon lace
as old dreams wander like ghosts.
Only good little boys go to Heaven...
The cover of this great work
ne'er changes--fading graffiti
inflicted like scars;
within...

Gravity
Undisturbed, chemically
treat unrest as the dreams
recalled from sleep
endure only in my head,
while most had never even
made it that far
Singular motion,
such as a rear-view
mirror wears the legend
what objects may have
been closer
than they appeared
In hindsight
of a reckless mind,
fixing without repair
or remedy to remain
walking through
the still-life of
those dreams, as
necessity overcomes
the will for...
Stoic and unyielding,
the hide of creature
life breathes you in
and...

"Roll Me Away"
*For the Rep Your State" competition--which is certain to lose, but damned if it didn't feel good writing it. I miss it.**
Rolling slow down the old
Seger back-list,
blown along by a winsome
wind and the same ole
travelers addiction
to a place and time
that can never be changed
Most of what anyone
knows or remembers
about where I was born
are the unmangling
of highways
leading them away,
or around,
from Detroit City;
and the big puddles,
such as Huron, Superior
and of course, the greatest
Lake...

The Hole
And so,
we first learn to dream
within
Cutting teeth
upon the paper
and cardboard
philosophies,
and wondering
why it all smelled
of milk and blood
"Breathe baby, breathe"
Mama plead against
the dull eyed stare
of everything
objectionable
Until life became
another object of herself,
slipping upon the darkness
and into the deep
dark wonder of the below
may rise o'er and above her
Fallen within
a plastic coffin,
where youth was preserved
in old black and white...

5- Dandelion
"Lust's passion will be served; it demands, it militates, it tyrannizes."
Marquis De Sade
And through this thick mourning walk down yet another grim and narrow corridor, which only the night-mind may conjure its won devils--awake, with ready despair and debilitating the heart, and the hidden score of the dying.
He found the body there as it had been left, as the city birds drew dense and dark like a malevolent cloud overhead; and this only protectorate remained well away, dispelling his own demons with a cold and cruel mind--...

4- Images From the Fire
"God's first creature, which was light."
Francis Bacon
Unleashed, as he lay deeper within the small cell and his vision, overwhelmed and consumed by memorae elicited his heart to act...
Those that he been inspired to create her from the spores of a wildflower and a human debris sought only the profit of their own invention. There was ill concern given to the form of beauty, save what certain men might pay to lie beside it-- and if only for an hour or so, possess it. Her rogue alchemist an outlaw has arisen her...

2- The Inquiry
"Their rage supplies them with their weapons."
Virgil
"Are you from the Ministry?" Worton Mule asked the tall, dark man standing to the aside of this inquiry into the death of a young woman--her battered body found bound upon that most notorious of the city's trees, which had grown outside of the great old House of Laws--older, still, than before the structure's own rise into this world and the men who would discover its need.
And so, the story goes, that the last man to die here at the hands of a violent mob, named...

By-Gones In Black & White
Tucked safely within
another animal's skin,
safe from what lay beneath
whim of wickedness had exceeded the reach--
as devils, perhaps expose too much
of an inner, private world
that her hand rare failed to clutch
a long leather jacket, hid a demon girl
And an imperfect youth
wishing herself away into the blue
of what she had seen other women do.
Among the shadows below Hollywood-land, into
the withdrawal into the fool
as she was frequently asked to expose
herself, and of course, show her costume
to dreaming men, lost in wily...

The Wheel
I am drawn within my own designs-
along the back-road when the city just seems too much rock & stone, where very little seems to grow.
Though I did make note that some things change- with wrecking balls and jack-hammers. Sometimes,
pyromaniacs perform a public service.
But even that seemed to scar over in time, though the opinions may vary on whether it was healed rightly or not. There is a junkyard for discarded ideals.
Give me the hollowed-out skeleton of an Edsel, lain
deep in the brush and overgrown with weeds and
wildflowers- with some...
