nuptials

shards of black evil
shatter out
into the night
where they disappear
into like
mirrored spinning blades
of light's absense
while the charcoal
flies
no veil
no train
no gown
but rather an end
to what could have been

dinnner at moms

put my brain under the pillow
hope the fairy comes in the night
gives me one more peek
at visions gone
like lolipop licked luster
forever slathered away in one
fell swoop of a tongue
long gone
cast aside
pushed away
until the lesbian revolution
when
it will come into play
once again
and and only then
will this tongue make it's mark
sticking out straight
and long
in a jesture
of jester's past
the strongest muscle baby,
the strongest one

mea culpa

Walk me down to MacArthur Park
Stroll me down through Washington Square
See the lights and sing out the passion
of never was
of couldn't be there
in a day and age when children screamed louder
for things they should not have
take away the cell phone
take away the baited breath
make them breathe again
take out the rubber nipple force the real on in
make them know the maker
is not a sperm donor
somewhere in Jersey
praying that genetics don't make him
responsible
because his
kids
aren't

Insicor

Know that I speak of pain
of fury
of anger
of hurt
of degradation and disregard
of granted taken far beyond the bounds
know that I know
even when I do not look like I do
I get it
It makes sense to me
when it doesn't maybe I'l shut up
but until then
you better keep your hands in your pockets
your arms folded
your legs crossed
and
your mouth shut
it will back fire
I will tak out a large chunk
in one
big
bite

Buy Me

The slow delve into the deep throat
lower that voice
seem intimidating
seem angry
seem serious
know that the world hurts
hurts like a Stone's song
that never was played
through the headphones
of a kid
mkaing faces as at my man hood
while I buy a bag of chips

The slow delve into the deep throat

outer space rooster

take my soul
chew it up
rolli t across your tongue
slaiva bath
left deep
inside you soul
an orifice
that does not smile
does not laugh
never says come hither
only licks up one side
down the other
and then I grin
and know where the hen house is
roosters
cocks
find 'em
hunt 'em down
we need more hens
cock to base
we need more hens

farm

Where could you be
in a night so cold
and hot in the day
left aside an dmade to fear
all the other days around it
do the shoes not match
or the socks either
makes sense
throat is sore
neck hurts
and yet the turkeys gobble on

love note

The confusion
of hit here
beat there
bruise me again
and again and again
break a bone to say
I love you
why?
when?
how?
feminism?
angry men?
social castration?
no excuse from either side
no time for time
don't be mad
I just want to talk
just not to you

when I grow up ...

It hurts man
hurts real bad
makes the paint peel
makes children cry
hurts us all
it is eating from whence it came
take it away
like a calgon request
wash this shit right out of my life
the commercials rock on
my beard is grey
my hair is thin
my gut is bigger than Texas
and there are not stars bright enough
to shed light on what has gone down
or why you made it so
cast that ashtray in clay
take away the supper I made
give it to the can
make me smile next time around
it is so much easier
for all of us

Hallmark Card

can someone make it make it
close it close it
slow it down just enough
where we don't need to repeat
I know you are watching
seeing every slash of the alphabet
taking notes
to use against me
not in the library of where
on might find me in in years
years from now
years from when our grand kids will live
but yours all already here
and you watch
casting your judgement
with you chlorine tears
bleaching what should now be clear
but isn't and won't ever be
because
simply put
your a bitch

Iagniappe

Old friend's
back again
gone for so long that salt collects in the memories
back again
ah, old friend's
dance to the spinning of albums left aside
for younger types
wishing you had returned
earlier and sooner and swifter
come back
and you have
to hugs and smiles and cheers
I rejoice with the others lost
without your words
thank you

drum major

drag those sticks
across the skins
and do so with your loving touch
in rhythem
without rhyme
but known to all the love caress
take it in
beat by beat
and make the children dance
shake it here
shake it there
never two will win
just stop shaking and buy the vinyl love
make it shine and know
sticks are just sticks
beats are in the breath

pajama mansion

capsized hearts
mastabatory rage
rip that god damned thing right off
throw it down
make em smile
earn what you got you tiny little man
know that it all comes slow
and only success
can be held within a caloused hand

Make the shuddered shiver
Make the cankerous cry
Take in the lost forgotten whispers
of molesters in the night

I am none of those sins
I know where I stand
Don't be part of that
hold me while I cry and say that you love me

pumpkin night

time to put the sea shells down
time to talk to men of might
time to hem the skirts all wrong
time to dance on through the night
with anger and foot stomps
I do not dance so well
but when the tears come crowding in
the room it clears so very swift
with no mention of the mid night sound
of princes knocking on the door
while sisters gather around the gossip tree
and wonder why I am gone
be glad that I do not see
what has gone on for now
and ever more
the voices shrill like chalk dust tea
and we part ways just the same
each with our own smiles
