Elusive Fool in Child’s Pose
Sore thumb in the midst
the proverbial elephant which
cannot find a place to sit
its girth has nothing left to do but stand
in the corner, swishing its bushy tail
annoyance. Waiting for someone
to acknowledge its existence.
the gory thumb pulsates, it’s tiny
capillaries burst blood clot galaxies
leaving their mark
stardust on the palm and index.
When the saw and hot iron come
To amputate I will be delighted
And I do not want reconstructive
surgery I think festering wounds
are rather romantic, keeps it more
truthful in the visceral rot.
Dancing with the Devil
Those movements which mislead to tempt
The lens of a camera, rod and cone shadows
Debauchery with Love for sale
Eviscerate Good Taste,
Cut out the heavy tongue,
In it’s budding place,
Sow in Modesty (a sort-of castrated) Honesty
For all those who take indecorous needle and thread
Into their own sloppy hand, and separate with the Hastiness
of a Man well bred though not quite read on such carnal
Banal realities
Casually,
as if piece by piece,
he begins severing out
the Parts of Her
which had previously sculpted His
Private Ideologies, a premeditated design,
An epicurean blue print for all
lowly Desires.
Fixed is the serpent’s divinity
Creative until death
Refined Mongrels
Defined by their primitive nature
Are inclined to subversive coercion
Lucrative tongue to cheek speech
Coitus
Gravity Inverse Time
tick tock said the hour to the minute
hurry before the wormhole comes
i will not be rushed! said the minute to the hour
the second giggled, the minute always took its time.
Something has broken
some thing has broke inside of me
the tinkering is a rattle
the pitter patter is droll
the tear has found its own origin
devoid of the synapse or frontal lobe
I am not sure where the Soul has gone
there was no sad letter left
Empty kitchen counter
of my subconscious has said as much
Perhaps it got milk and got lost
How unfortunate it is to have loved.
Resurgence
birthed upside down, breaking down barriers
just for a fresh breath
the umbilical cord of love strangles,
leaving the right brain holding its oxygen
like a water jug, from river to mouth.
