Monogamy
Hurricane she whispers
in-between
the cacophonies
of
east
and
west
Too many words
crammed
into tiny spaces
with too little skill to
navigate
the
rising waters
of
mediocrity
My voice prying
away
at
moon
or Antarctica
or a loneliness
too distant
to call home
Hurricane she bellows
from the caverns
of amplitude
(with great ease)
the
sea floor rises up
to greet me
for one last...

Day Job
Burning rivers
floating behind
my eyes
Fenced in by the
limitations of
burden
There is only language
to destroy
Conceptual constructs the
cutting block
where all dreams must go
to die
From dirt mansions hunger
grows
awaiting a revolution
or a dirty bomb
or anything to mute the banality
of dying in a suit
floating behind
my eyes
Fenced in by the
limitations of
burden
There is only language
to destroy
Conceptual constructs the
cutting block
where all dreams must go
to die
From dirt mansions hunger
grows
awaiting a revolution
or a dirty bomb
or anything to mute the banality
of dying in a suit

Wolf Wars
Burrowing bitter statues of
Deaf progeny stalled out
over a sea of pining peripatetics
Born into it;
with feet that read like a Hemingway novel
Intestinal inertia insulating the leagues of
Internal Corruption conspiracies
the communist combination digesting in obscurity
cracked figment begging facade
for material manifestation
facade kicking godless eternity in the head
the unexplored divided depths newly informed
of cancerous cells in the water supply
prognosticating...

Commuter
on hips of rose valor
I adorn
eternal typeface
upright speaking
lights above
swung for movement
oscillating through
the blood
height seeking
crumpled old men
to cash in at the nearest
heartache trust
deep pockets averting
eye contact
I burn invisible
black flames eloping
with white smoke
a skyline borrowed
nugatory numbers floating
between heavy particles
fragmented monoliths
towering
twisted metal all upward
the world as stranger
dessicated in the...

Tiny Burden
at least I've got my youth
said the fool to the ghost
timber toned tonality
the ember
burning in my soul
remembrances of laughing
and flesh
press against
this heavy glass pane
of my body
without
i am empty for all
to see
lost wisdom
scattered
across the floor
without
i am gods
gardener

Coitus
Bowels pulsating as I search for breath
The screaming
barely reminds me of anything
The trashcan swimming in condoms
empty bottles, jewelry on her
body
Given name burning
into the atmosphere
My memories Aerosol particles
Ascending
into the black stratus
Buzz words heavy
throughout the hive
Give me everything
The bodies no longer
bearing weight
Our slaughterhouse on display
muscles pulled from tendon
This music box perpetually
playing my favorite melody
Rotten heartache flooding ...

I Met Bukowski
Bleeding bordedom spills over
the man fading from old wood
still waiting for god
Open breeding timid torture
these streets, these people watching
force yourself through the hatred
coddle sickness in the nest
We are planetary
absent of mercy
drinking poison
judging the poisoned
the man fading from old wood
still waiting for god
Open breeding timid torture
these streets, these people watching
force yourself through the hatred
coddle sickness in the nest
We are planetary
absent of mercy
drinking poison
judging the poisoned

The Bitter Pill
Clockwork drinking down the tedium
of every last second lost
Funneled into the tiny capsules
you found in moms liquor cabinet
Swallowed
and broken down in the intestines
This body makes no excuses for the ravages of addiction
Father down on his knees
begging every last inch not to go in
Deposed drunken avenues without street signs
the last vestige of peace without praise
I hear the swallows trumpeting sunrise's defeat
more than cogent to the...

LOVE POEM

The "C" Word
Feet sway methodically
Dreams of empires falling
hand employed by hand
Fuck I miss the movements
the simple joys of devotion
Flesh to flesh
Glazed eyes
Minds melting through the ice
submerged in a tango
Fog takes me by the hand
and I can see
the sun burning
Gliding gears of apparatus
here is me now scorned in
memory
Freed by you
the Cosmos
Dreams of empires falling
hand employed by hand
Fuck I miss the movements
the simple joys of devotion
Flesh to flesh
Glazed eyes
Minds melting through the ice
submerged in a tango
Fog takes me by the hand
and I can see
the sun burning
Gliding gears of apparatus
here is me now scorned in
memory
Freed by you
the Cosmos
