Poet Introduction
The first time someone else touched me with the intent to pleasure, I fell in love. Not with that person, but with the act itself. Fiona Zedde, Bliss

The blessed assent of Liesel Priest
And it came down like madness
The water over her naked self
Spilling over budding dreads of dirty
Neglect
Where it pooled in oil and the dust of long hellish roads
This sacrament refused to mix readily or give easy absolution
For the residuals of long journeyed sins
Hard living had taken its toll
And close to completely
What was left of her mind, muddy
"Of cloudless climbs and starry skies"
She had once known all the words
By heart and mirrored affinity
But sometime in that great distance
Of then to now ...

And close to completely

The almost unbelievable tale of Dancing Ruby
Sly smiling and sweetly,
Ruby curtsies and briefly...
Before rising to dizzying pirrouette
She spins round and round
All over the pretty town,
Until red faced and out of breathe
Expecting rounds of mad clapping...
Her pink tippy toe a-tapping..
Rubies lil heart falls when she turns and sees,
Her blue eyes grow so wide!
Oh! to her shock and surprise...
Her twirling, it has leveled Eureka Springs!
Ruby curtsies and briefly...
Before rising to dizzying pirrouette
She spins round and round
All over the pretty town,
Until red faced and out of breathe
Expecting rounds of mad clapping...
Her pink tippy toe a-tapping..
Rubies lil heart falls when she turns and sees,
Her blue eyes grow so wide!
Oh! to her shock and surprise...
Her twirling, it has leveled Eureka Springs!

Concrete Saints
There lives in the everyday
On a Wednesday late morning sidewalk
Of grimy city and in the small town
In the overcast of pregnant skies
Just plain folks
Blind enough of their own ego
To wear an immunity of self like a concrete saint
You see them in timeless pause
And watch in awe and ache
As blue and grey birds
With eyes as cloudy as your skies
Rest peacefully on their fingertips
Nurturing fat bellies with morsels of a sacred stillness
On a Wednesday late morning sidewalk
Of grimy city and in the small town
In the overcast of pregnant skies
Just plain folks
Blind enough of their own ego
To wear an immunity of self like a concrete saint
You see them in timeless pause
And watch in awe and ache
As blue and grey birds
With eyes as cloudy as your skies
Rest peacefully on their fingertips
Nurturing fat bellies with morsels of a sacred stillness

To Surrender
Am I breathing Lord my God?
Oh find me!
And so on into these first few moments of eternity....
They sing, don't they?
Or is this the great roaring of the lion?
And I have sacrificed like a lamb.....
Oh God
Oh find me....
In these shallows set far from the tempest..
Seeking shelter in a still moonlit midnight.
The world had fallen to its knees.
And have I.
And have I?
The world had taken its toll on thee...
And have I.
Oh find me!
And so on into these first few moments of eternity....
They sing, don't they?
Or is this the great roaring of the lion?
And I have sacrificed like a lamb.....
Oh God
Oh find me....
In these shallows set far from the tempest..
Seeking shelter in a still moonlit midnight.
The world had fallen to its knees.
And have I.
And have I?
The world had taken its toll on thee...
And have I.

Sweet Oblivion
It just so happened that day
I had swallowed oblivion
My neck bent at obscene angle
Prevented uvula from any good intent
My eyes round with belladonna
Had stared longingly
Towards someplace lovely
And in the safe distances
Outside myself and the dirty wall
Outside of a house made of cards
Beyond black walls of grinning Jacks
Somewhere inside the celestial body of grace
There, existed love
Existed family
Existed Man bound by God's good covenant
And existed pardon by that same God
And so in that happenstance ...
I had swallowed oblivion

Beyond black walls of grinning Jacks
Somewhere inside the celestial body of grace
There, existed love

Out of the Sacred
Oh see her
And witness
the dying of an Angel
Her face
Torn from it's shadows
Grimacing and angular
Scowling woman's perversions
Like alabaster deity
While whisps of her veil
Singe and rise
Carried off and into
Some cold
and unholy current
And her ashes
They obscure my sun
And they darken the sanctuary
Of my horizon
She passes
And it would not be quick
Then tossing great beauty to the floor

Chains
Behind these
The dark of dark hearts
But the light in your eyes
These chains do bind
Holding precious, strongholds
Oh God, but you are on my mind
In my winter's place
I do pace and find this pendulum sway
Horrified
Seduced
Clinched teeth
Bowed dreamy eyes
Like a plumbob of red hot rock
And my face can feel the heat of it
And I'm kept
Keeping safe what has never been wept
Behind these
And the light of your eyes
The dark of dark hearts
But the light in your eyes
These chains do bind
Holding precious, strongholds
Oh God, but you are on my mind
In my winter's place
I do pace and find this pendulum sway
Horrified
Seduced
Clinched teeth
Bowed dreamy eyes
Like a plumbob of red hot rock
And my face can feel the heat of it
And I'm kept
Keeping safe what has never been wept
Behind these
And the light of your eyes

This dance
They turn
Dramatic drop from swing of hair
Patchouli clouds arising
To elevate their own despair
From suffering to surviving
Hands find flesh
And mighty knead
What familiar places they both concede
Lascivious giggles bubble up
Where for art thou man?
Who gives a fuck!
Dramatic drop from swing of hair
Patchouli clouds arising
To elevate their own despair
From suffering to surviving
Hands find flesh
And mighty knead
What familiar places they both concede

Where for art thou man?

Strike
It sat just beyond incineration
Swearing nonchalance with the great ease of a sociopath
It's jacket promising a "Good time at Larry's, bring a friend!"
Itself, lay alone and charred
If anyone had paid it any attention
One might have caught the sulfuric hint
of a mighty hell that had consumed whole
First Oxygen
And then home
And then for granted future
Of the hateful demon who had tossed the thing
And the red headed woman who had once laid beside him
Swearing nonchalance with the great ease of a sociopath
It's jacket promising a "Good time at Larry's, bring a friend!"
Itself, lay alone and charred
If anyone had paid it any attention
One might have caught the sulfuric hint
of a mighty hell that had consumed whole
First Oxygen
And then home
And then for granted future
Of the hateful demon who had tossed the thing
And the red headed woman who had once laid beside him

The unholy and The Reverend Horton Heat
Psychobilly freak out whined in my ears
Causing my sacred hillbilly to yearn
I was a girl from the dark back woods
I made you come inside my trailer
I showed you my tattoo s
And yes......
I heard your whorehound howling
But never once did it occur
To white trash me
That you were not barking at the moon
Causing my sacred hillbilly to yearn
I was a girl from the dark back woods
I made you come inside my trailer
I showed you my tattoo s
And yes......
I heard your whorehound howling
But never once did it occur
To white trash me
That you were not barking at the moon

When all else Bails
Note to self:
It seems all men have exited stage left
Abruptly
leaving toilet seats down
A courtesy?
Doubtful
an Ironic Fuck You
Probable
To do list:
Google leftist femme weekly publications
#thesacredhymen
Post ad as following
Wanted stud broad
Lipstick dykadelics discouraged
Must own 40 volt power drill
Dewalt or equal/higher quality
Daily Affirmation:
I once loved the Indigo Girls
I can and will find my way back there...
