Botticelli
Standing at a crossroads, why do I have to choose when Botticelli painted both the Madonna and Child and The Birth of Venus? I say I don't write for the purist, so why can't I create my real emotions—mental art—without fear of repercussions? What was going through your mind, Botticelli, when you painted for both Pagans and Catholics? Should I keep my work neat and pure, the cute shit that’s suitable for a bland palate, or can I give you tears and pain, profanity intertwined with the confession of sin?
When I was a child, I learned not to share my dreams or thoughts because it...

Silent knot
In the quiet hours when sleep eludes,
being awake for long, through the night.
A scent emerges, twisting in the air,
the strange smell of something burning.
Eyes wide open, thoughts begin to unravel,
the mind plays tricks in the absence of rest.
Is it fatigue or dreams left behind?
This scent, a whisper on the edge of awareness.
Senses sharpen in the haze of wakefulness,
reality blurs in the long hours of night.
The burnt smell, a ghostly presence,
a reminder of the body’s need for rest.
In these...
being awake for long, through the night.
A scent emerges, twisting in the air,
the strange smell of something burning.
Eyes wide open, thoughts begin to unravel,
the mind plays tricks in the absence of rest.
Is it fatigue or dreams left behind?
This scent, a whisper on the edge of awareness.
Senses sharpen in the haze of wakefulness,
reality blurs in the long hours of night.
The burnt smell, a ghostly presence,
a reminder of the body’s need for rest.
In these...

Sidewalks
Look, don't turn your head when you pass me,
unless you want me to break your neck
so you can always walk
with your chin up and your nose to the side...
Look, don't pretend you don't know me,
that you never touched my hand
and that we were never together
in a public restroom on the side of the road
or on the edge of the abyss.
Think about it, we ate the same food
and we drank the same drink
and I never stopped supporting your forehead
by the toilet for the rest of the lost night,
sometimes we even dreamed the same...
unless you want me to break your neck
so you can always walk
with your chin up and your nose to the side...
Look, don't pretend you don't know me,
that you never touched my hand
and that we were never together
in a public restroom on the side of the road
or on the edge of the abyss.
Think about it, we ate the same food
and we drank the same drink
and I never stopped supporting your forehead
by the toilet for the rest of the lost night,
sometimes we even dreamed the same...

The Painful Train Ride
On the LIRR to Penn Station
Hot
Thick
I can smell myself
The floor is covered with garbage
I see a girl on the platform when we stop at the next town
I wish
I wish I could lift myself from this seat and touch her
I don't want to break her arm though
Do you want to know me?
My pain would crush your rib cage
I could love you
I wish I could stop running

Arrivederci winter
Now it is finally the time
To say
Arrivederci winter
It was indeed a long Winter
I was already getting sick
Of the winter
That never seem to ended
Now finally my Father brought the spring today
And I am very happy about that
Also my Father brought back
Home the birds that I was missing
For a long time now
At night time I live the windows
Open so it can cool my house
Because I have no air conditioning
In my house
And I been living in my house
For a long time now
Also I love the area I live in

Cinder Trail
Tough as a chastity cast iron scinth...
The reaper, always the reaper.
"Now I'm walking alone on the cinder trail."
Forget the cut deep in your flesh.
Face the night as it was a flash.
"Now you're walking alone on the cinder trail."
Shoot down your loose phantoms...
The king is dead and there's no other.
"Now we're walking alone on the cinder trail."
The reaper, always the reaper.
"Now I'm walking alone on the cinder trail."
Forget the cut deep in your flesh.
Face the night as it was a flash.
"Now you're walking alone on the cinder trail."
Shoot down your loose phantoms...
The king is dead and there's no other.
"Now we're walking alone on the cinder trail."

cringe
disturbing the silence my thoughts scream
cringing in the eternal noise
I have to let it out
anxiety is building
screws are turning tighter
the feeling explodes inside
my hands grip tight, hanging on for the ride
then letting go wave after wave
the pain is unbearable, the pain is good
my intensity burns
dialing it down, I back away from others
feeling too much hurts
scald the senses
reverbated insanity I feel it on the air
playing back to me my thoughrs

the stories you hear in the pub
I said, why don’t you go home to your wife?
I daren’t.
why?
she might not be there.
I said, let me get you another pint ..
I daren’t.
why?
she might not be there.
I said, let me get you another pint ..

Blindness
People, young man, are stupid.
You won’t realise how stupid they are
until you understand
that you’re just as stupid as them.
You scrabble in the dark as much
when it comes to the meanings of things
as he who blamed a temple God
for his wife’s miscarriage,
and she who thinks she won’t be gay
if she’d just pray that sin away.
Or him who felt that science said
that other races must lay dead,
or anyone from dunce to polymath.
We all just wriggle in the dark
like worms fearing the child’s wrath

Explorations
Too small to explore
the sea of the unknown:
island existence
breathing hell of darkness
dreading hungry excursions

scabbed road kill
What is scabbed road kill,
screaming upon my breathe,
daggers aim for my eye
can't reach me to die,
Oh these monstrous demons,
Owls hoot the nightmarish hour,
this angel can save me.
Once in my life...
this angel....
screaming upon my breathe,
daggers aim for my eye
can't reach me to die,
Oh these monstrous demons,
Owls hoot the nightmarish hour,
this angel can save me.
Once in my life...
this angel....

No Way
No way there should be more guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
No way but we look away
No way but we look away
And send them off to school
Send them into the fire
With armor of innocence
Shrapnel in soul
Wake up...
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
More guns than people
No way there should be
No way but we look away
No way but we look away
And send them off to school
Send them into the fire
With armor of innocence
Shrapnel in soul
Wake up...
