POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
"God makes some men poets. Some He makes kings, some beggars.”
Your bikini strap was a Messerschmidt 109 dogfighting a giant flying Emperor scorpion
Tough to bring crashing down
and ripe with riches of victory
and ripe with riches of victory

Is it fear?
Are we six feet under fescue?
Is it jump rope with lucifer
my dear?
And the waters getting strange,
And my heart is all deranged.
But I've got you.
Are we six feet under fescue?
Is it jump rope with lucifer
my dear?
And the waters getting strange,
And my heart is all deranged.
But I've got you.

Perigee: tint me your shade of red
Moonlight palpitations;
rich soil embraced her loving touch,
cultivated a lust.
was she lemongrass swaying from the clay ?
rosemary, sprawling for my roots?
set a fever under my skin,
I knew she had the remedy
somewhere between her wisteria and irises.

This room is pitch black
I lie folded on car wreck shoulder
reaching off into morning mouth nothing
I feel the cold steel bedframe huff with disgust
a sea of black widow spiders consume my hand
searching for the cracked semi charging phone
teeth are a lull dull ache in the distance
failures count themselves as proud 3rd place field day ribbons
chests split in tween'
nightmare'd creatures saunter by
picking hors d'oeuvres of my ravaged bone dinner table
this room is pitch black

chests split in tween'

picking hors d'oeuvres of my ravaged bone dinner table

Metamorphosis sands from the resurrection chamber: Luminiferous
To whom it may concern,
(6.) your shallow
vertebra
breaths
trickle
a necromancy inside my scorned eyelids.
(5.) striving tempest veins, dig this therapeutic rapture;
Depart!
this starving of flesh whittled words.
craved oblivion,
still commanding a picture prefect paradise,
pristine.
deulgeing lavender plague of satanic want!
manifest your destruction,
I salivate in salvation.
(4.) implicating moon with sun in tow.
feasting upon remnants
of your exorcism.

This whores song is taxing
I'll stain the floor with lust.
grate tongue with flesh
and drowned in thrust.
chip away molten eyes wishin,
crumble crumble.
shave brats inhibition.
you want flowers?
(flogged with a leather rose bouquet)
cuffs too tight?
(straps and buckles cinch tighter)
"I'm leaking"
this alley cat saucers up desire.
perspiration is proof in the pudding,
I dip my finger in her bowl before the oven.
is that pain in her "please!"?
collecting scratched flesh under fingernails
I dissolve in her disease, ...

Kitchen tables overturned inside a mind
Spoke of defilement,
tongue is a guilty pleasurable.
though lady and lord
(dialogue to crowd)
orgasms deities,
earth consumes our marrowed bones.
existing in makeshift soot alters,
fond folded memories we construct.
ethereal in selfishness
I berate you on the coldest nights cement,
a great confusion bearing down.
lunging cowardice stagnates in my fingertips.
why does my priestess yell?
this dissatisfaction sweats
tacky washable lives.
puss with a proclamation for sickness.

Plaid December says cat to cardinal
I think I want to stay!
my grilled cheese "bye" was stiff as rye
lets talk awhile and play.
my lights hang out in snowless yards,
but your lights to the winters brim.
those sapphire dice
sweet eyes like mice
I lick my paws and grin.
you had your chance,
says cardinal to cat
cause all you saw was cheese.
my feathers ruffed
but choice is tough
I'm bored lets dirty knees.

Death of a buttercup in 6 hours
The reaping!
a raindrop rainbow screwdriver to the navel,
thrust upon you!
a cripple?
a chrysalis?
subdued in this catatonic daydream.
hacked,
the mismatched body parts saran wrapped.
pruned your nightmares
as you flail and writhe;
trimmings too soon I'd oblige.
speak it unfair and we'll return
for those bullet casing blue eyes.
whispered "Killers!" in the shadows
yet dust cloths in dilapidadted mansions reveal mirrors.
we are snazzy dressed lawyers,
shot outside on the courthouse steps; ...

Bending of metal, rotting of wood at the crest of Dixie
Elderberry
equinox
October's darting hellfire fox
poltergeist
zodiac
heavy poured French cognac
scorpion
Holston river
awkwardness is best remembered
south Knoxville
brazen
basement musk
sunset hills

Betrothal of paper ceiling hearts (as decorations to appease)
I remember shadowed
catastrophic
warmth,
leisurely peeking,
cutting through
the
tree
line
overhead;
we blink to bed.
fatally wounded,
we hung you
upside down
to dry ,
shriveled in your
memories.

Exhibition of a fractured drive thru college town apparition
By the starlight of the night I lie
the sun it shines
yet darks the sky
water ripples
feet are wet
mosaic, sapphire, cigarette
hills are shaped by time and seed
my myths are vague
my thoughts are greed
I swam too late
my fears they glide
ghosts carousel my numb bent pride
the sun it shines
yet darks the sky
water ripples
feet are wet
mosaic, sapphire, cigarette
hills are shaped by time and seed
my myths are vague
my thoughts are greed
I swam too late
my fears they glide
ghosts carousel my numb bent pride
