Solitude in the blind
light of hope & possibility.
Solitude in the darkened bedroom
where I fail to give myself to you.
Solitude in the the fires of
my experience which cannot willnot
ever be clear.
I am my only love
I am my only witness

Solitude in parties where I
stand miserable and drunk
on my own superiority.
Solitude in the home that
I try so hard to ignore.
Solitude in the strange hospital
constructed by inaction.
My fetish is myself
My curse is satisfaction

Lovely ghosts
Circling my head
Getting stuck in my throat
They'll never really be dead

The auburn ghost was first
Clever & skinny & pale
She teased my ravenous thirst
Then outran her quiet snail

The ghost with sandy curls
Glares upset & shy
But didn't she know her perfect world
Could never concentrate my wandering eye

Golden ghost is beyond me
Confusion is our common ground
We just want to jump out to the sea
But vice kept us locked down

Lovely ghosts
Haunting my dreams
Make my brain roast...
