the question
standing in the
bathroom
looking in the
mirror
asked the question
"Where did it go?"
the answer came
came like bombs
falling on Berlin
under black and
white news clip
skies from 1944
time...
you old bastard,
you
bathroom
looking in the
mirror
asked the question
"Where did it go?"
the answer came
came like bombs
falling on Berlin
under black and
white news clip
skies from 1944
time...
you old bastard,
you

torched
your eyes were either
candle light or a forest
fire
but it didn't
matter
in the end I always
got burned
candle light or a forest
fire
but it didn't
matter
in the end I always
got burned

At A Friend's Party
Bonnie
woke up and
saw that
she was naked due
to her getting conned
into snorting some
cocaine
at a friend's
party.

Drinking On Wretched Memories...
Of times when my tongue was laser and blade
my ways, savage art.
I blackout on the day I broke you.

Puling Juliet (what’s in a name)
My back arches
in requiem of
our loss
the only thing
I ever wanted
to be called was…
Yours.
in requiem of
our loss
the only thing
I ever wanted

Don't Step In It
Plum tree full, over ripe
mushy under my bare foot
bear scat on the ground
mushy under my bare foot
bear scat on the ground

3 p.m. storms
The glass is cool and clear
against my forehead
fat listless raindrops
echo the empty
thunder in me
I watch the
storm with
held breath
and wet shoulders
against my forehead
fat listless raindrops
echo the empty
thunder in me
I watch the
storm with
held breath
and wet shoulders

Scorn
Her eyes
Her icy deep blue eyes
Brimstone and fire
No greek god
No combination of greek gods
Could equal the fury he sees
He knows what he's done
Best to crawl away
And disappear
Her icy deep blue eyes
Brimstone and fire
No greek god
No combination of greek gods
Could equal the fury he sees
He knows what he's done
Best to crawl away
And disappear

bitter vines
i tasted
her flowers
as if
i were
a bee
i found
them growing
wildly
on bitter
vines
in
the closed
garden
of her soul
and
i drank
her poison
now,
i go off
and die
even lonelier
her flowers
as if
i were
a bee
i found
them growing
wildly
on bitter
vines
in
the closed
garden
of her soul
and
i drank
her poison
now,
i go off
and die
even lonelier

within haunting dreams
i chased
that
black velvet
of a sky,
no moon,
no stars
to dance
to the music
the night
plays,
only shadows
that creep
upon
the strangers
there,
with
all the rest
that reside
within
haunting dreams.
