remnants of a broken poem


as Picasso was   I am not
I would fail at drawing 2 lines
attempting to make an x

then it occurs to me
that drawing 2 lines
on a canvas is the beginning
of a desire to be more than an x

tremolo’d violins
insouciant pianos & homicidal drums
these are merely background
by which to write   or dream
there is more magnificence
in a sky that makes thunder

if love has substance
it’s the flesh of a woman
evolving through my mad eyes
nude & languorous on a bed

she doesn’t have to move
or make a gesture
my hands will clutch her trembles
my fingers maraud her soft passages
my mouth bite her where she desires
& where she’s never imagined such raw eating

when I fuck her
she’ll question   perhaps even regret
why she was made

this torment that was given to us by angry gods
this is love to me

I’m empty of heart & artistry
I’m the demented shadow of a poet
& I’m alone

don’t weep   don’t weep for me
if some part of you needs to be wet
let it be your cunt
