singed curls and the new life party

It takes a luminescent soul
to waltz in here with her head on fire
her clothes in tatters
anti-matter eyes with bruises
and green iris explosive
It takes an unrequited passion
to use the wind of secrets
and sweep us all of our feet
head first into floor and twelve feet deep
furious telephone rings
sings like a sword slicing air
heavy with the tension of her stare
It takes a mighty dare
to turn their gazes into shattered mirrors
to feel the hairs on her neck
attacking my shaking fingers
the sparks linger and then they're lost
and left me transfixed
with a big soft what
It takes me a while to recover

bricks on the skull part one

for a moment
I'm thinking of sliding hands
friction
your fantastic intentions
the effects of bricks on the skull
fireworks and indentions
fingertips in plastic bags
marked with furious markers
your thoughts on the matter
then blacker than the blackest black
friends and lovers attack
here you'll see a hairline fracture
the brilliant passion spatters
on the pavement the morning after


bricks on the skull part two

oh how I am hung
on your frostbite tongue
with acid saliva stains
bits of hearts and skulls and brains
pools of tears regret depraved
come hither fingers circular
toward slick surface
your river on my fingers
a scent for keepers smelling salts
further proof of my faults
more bricks to fling for I was wrong
the long strange psychedelic morning after

passengers

I found your phantom wheelchair
Right over there in the shadow
He was afraid of passengers
He dreaded being believed in
Enough to carry your broken body across the water
I had to talk him into feathers
And blow him between my open hands
So that he would not scatter
He's ready to talk if you are ready to listen
Soft warm sunshine stands between you

untitled

Hands full of rock salt dust
Feet chained to needs
Splinters in the waistline
The pain shot right up into the heart's piston
Feeling like December in the belt
Confused and shivering and remembering
What it's like to be felt

sex sketches

We had lunch and laughs
pajama grafts where the skin still shows
She had the sexiest microphone
imbedded in the mattress
where we exchanged secrets
Legs lazily dangling
a nap and a dream
oh how serpentine
how you live in that shirt of mine
Missing buttons canines bicuspids
saliva in buckets and salt skin breeze
fingering the crumpled sheets
Looking for that something
in your faraway eyes
