barbed wire

it was quick easy clean and graceful dreams today for me are sharp
wires on the way over hard horizon the heart is tossed away there are some music notes along side like comets
mocking heart in her exile away from him
upon the crossing of that place heart’s lost hind sight again with only tear salted picture frames of his hand no longer holding her

partial ballad for Pam and Jim

i once found him looking into my eyes holding my hands
he moved me to live to love to laugh
while the endless hoping
that my days will die fast
fuel the tomorrows that cast me into a grinding trap
i really wish i wouldn’t have to leave and pace back and forth between cold frontiers looking into darkness
the void is left

as limbo and i walk hand in hand exhausted

oh hey teacher no i’m no poet

no need to give
me your Conklin pen

i’m just a kid from down the nickel loud mouth

skidded knees cigarette
boozer

blood upon her
sleeve

reveler of sunsets
procrastinator in the dawn

i am the honey of her thighs

and the pulsing
bang bang of his gun

but hey psssst mister i
ain’t no poet

bawdy as all hell quiet when i need to be

if some angel fell
in hell

i’ll go fetch em’ Darla
Hood impersonator feeler of the waste

inside their eyes
corny graffiti kids

longing for the
it apps to arrive

liquor store dwelling social services auditor

of her majesty the
street but mister

i assure you mister i ain’t no poet

AC/DC cranker upper
Curtis Mayfield fuck play it louder

poker player chopper rider star watcher little fighter

hey man call me
foolish lady riff raff heart

in preparation

time sits on the shelves
next to all the dreams
just an index finger’s length
out of reach
her side of the wall
sustains the portraiture
of her bloodline
his side the world’s articles of hate
never knowing of each other
going about their life
the wall that separates them both
in between the unseen darkness waits for them
patiently there void of light
and when that time marches from its sitting place again
to guide their souls into the other world
the ego skin from them will finally be shed

me
gusta caminar de noche

preferible
sin la luna

esconderme
en mis pensamientos

reír
como niña como nunca pude

pensar
en dulces y juegos

y olvidar todo lo que fui

flagelação cerebral

eu
gosto de andar a noite

preferível
sem a lua

esconda-se
em meus pensamentos

ria
como uma garota como eu nunca pude

pense
em doces e jogos

e esquecer tudo o que eu era

cerebral flagellation

i like to walk at night

preferably without the moon

hide in my thoughts

laugh like a little girl like i never could

think of candy and games

and forget everything i was

the rain has stopped and the sidewalks smell like dog piss and dying roses but i like the fragrance of my clove cigarette the stop lights change every two minutes nothing strange i can’t place my emotions today i feel pressured to rub elbows with the crowd across the street but i can’t i don’t feel well my body pains me and i want to cry taking a few steps away from the Tropical i breath in deep a few yards away is a pile of rubbish the bright colors make it look magical and comforting looking at the clock across the street it’s time for group and terror grips me around my ankles and chest again again again my head fills up inside with doubt and shame like a sinking vessel i try to be brave my hands shake and i grind my teeth nostrils flare and i anger…
