on the way to the dance party

i ran out of gas, on the way home from the party i was given an anvil that fell on top of me and shattered my pelvis, without the thrust required to carry me through the light that i was given, i could not or do not wish to feel that vapor that fills my [...]

under the banner of heaven

the endearing sports man was kind to me, he said he knew what is was like to be free and how free i was to be free.  not like the sorrowful sparrow, but still sorrowful like a sparrow, i was endearing to myself and my friends.  they all died many years later, like my father’s [...]

on the way to the forum

a funny thing happened to me today, not unlike the bobby pins that hold my pants in place, i was given an unusual back to school ritual that undeniably considers the rabid taste of the endeavour to be ritualized and taken from my heart.  i cannot see what the world was anymore, just a blur [...]

the irish eyes

on fire

of loving and hating and knowing myself, i sing of salvation and partying in stealth.  i speak of rainforests and i speak of the sun, but i know that salvation likes near the pun. i take the world into my hands and spin a roll of quarters, i end up with women that speak of [...]

lightly my friends, lightly

upon reflection, the bastards i knew before have left themselves unknowingly vanquished and forlorn.  the tired trumps of reflection have remembered my poetic license and know not why they left me here to die.  i have not fear of reflection, no fear of knowing myself, just the only meaning that gives me warmth and desire.

on my way home i was tired

my fault i said, but i could not feel what i ran from or to, i could only say that i knew you and that meant something, something more than i could bear, so i thought just this once, just this instant, i had to do something.  so i moved forward, pounced and ran from [...]
