HALFWAY THERE (I)-(original draft) (East Flagship Hotel Pier Jetty, Galveston Island Texas; 1-29-1997)
i took a trolley
to the beach
walked out to the end of a jetty
gazed numbly out over
this vast gulf of mexico s
seemingly endless horizon
then silently thought to myself
halfway there
to the beach
walked out to the end of a jetty
gazed numbly out over
this vast gulf of mexico s
seemingly endless horizon
then silently thought to myself
halfway there

we cunt destroyed my vinyl records
give them hell up there
i'li miss you
died today

Wooden nickels
The diagnosis
was like flipping a two headed coin
and calling tails
my chances of survival
were about as good
as playing tag
in a leper colony

time
If time
slows down
when
we fall
in love
then
I don't
ever
want the
rain
to stop.

Night
When I wake
In the mid-night
And my whole frame
Shivers,
Is it that I
Have poisoned my veins
With liquor and plight,
And may
Never again
Know a gentle night?
In the mid-night
And my whole frame
Shivers,
Is it that I
Have poisoned my veins
With liquor and plight,
And may
Never again
Know a gentle night?

The Poor Guy Placed The Rose
The
poor guy
placed the rose
on where his wife
had finally died from cancer.

on indescribable grief (a senryś)
When I see his face
Still [shockwaves], I'm breathing
With my heart...... missing.

Dinner for no one at the tropic of cancer hotel
My throat is an
hourglass, food
passes like
grains of
sand
I wonder
when time
will run out

What She Really Got From Smoking
She thought that smoking
would make her look cool but that
was before she got cancer.

Found Your Obituary Online
They gave your ashes to the sea
I whispered goodbye into the salt air
still wondering why you didn't tell me
it came back

still wondering why you didn't tell me
