He Had Visitors

Why do you want me to be Unhappy Why do you want me to be Enslaved I feel your thumbs round the insides of my cheeks And tap the tip of the tongue Your spit cascades into my nostrils And wells up in my gums I will not swallow, I cannot speak Beneath me, my […]

Red

Red For the blood on my hands And the remains of the heart Still frantically beating underneath poached skin Red For the children who never matured with grace or dignity And saw age forced upon them for the sake of sex Still pulsating, their genitalia could hardly keep up Red, oh Red There was always […]

Every Inch Of You Is Another Stripe of Agony

Never mind, I don’t need you The earth closes over any trace of you And shuddering skies thunder and storm At the mention of your name Forgive me if I was ignorant and young Forgive me if I was impressionable and eager To please every inch of your royal throne Illustrious and lacking in beauty […]

Playing To The Beat Of The Winds

silent rolling hills grasses still as the trees standing above them watchful soldiers on the eve of battle there’s a flower garden too yellow and purple petals particularly pushy each inching higher than the other for light red brick preventing further advance Stonewall Jackson come again there’s a pretty little girl dancing in the middle […]
