WINTERING IN THE TROPIC
Burn me with your cold star
Singe my wings
if you would keep me
from your lonesome
turn me away
and i'll forgive you
everytime i return
to claim you for mine
and lovingly watch you burn
in Hell
just like you want me too
i'll see through you and say those things
that twist you hateful, and misshape
the way you live...
for nothing
but think it would kill you
to need someone
and then you'll get what you really want
when you let me
ravage you deeply
with your devils taking photographs
of perfect love
you wont be happy until your utter abandon
finds Hope
i'll never tell you how to think of your self as worthless
and i won'

From a nail in her palm
Hanging from a Nail in Her Palm
she has a room to herself;
she knows nothing about.
a rough patch of grass,
until her dealer gets out
she has to feather her bed
with codeine and cats
just to make nothing happen
as long as she can.
she had a bruise try to heal, before she had it tattooed
now she'll never forget
how she hates herself too

hanging from a nail in her palm

the winter in summer's teeth

this dream has no other dream
it lingers in the fair Between
and seldom in the inkling think the slightest thing
less interesting
than an overture, an ode to Odin
or a stillborn child's
twitch.
in a box of halos you will find petroglyphs in the hollow of bright yellow sugar-cube skulls with red dots
you will spread the virus. or hire lemmings to do your bidding in your war
on angels with too many arms. on those little plastic shakers, with the little holes: filled with glitter.
your annex of Poland, last june, and your Easter revolution... i could go on. no less bitter.
but many harms have visited your dullard nova

this could hurt and it will
it drags your bones
under your skin
leaves you naked
in the droning love
you’re drowning
so blissfully
in
it spells your name
without vowels
and leaves a dagger
to fill them in
you dress the wound
but remain naked
in the fire
of your
sin
you know the words
but they’re gone
you say them anyway
and nothing happens
then you say
them again
old habits.
