the right side rib of the ribcage
was where the voodoo entertained
she felt the entry at the cusp of nightpull
bones away from past lives
spacing mortal
ah she said
you've come
she let him in
pulled his hair into a tailshrug
night was a warm one
the path would be
an easy one now
he'd taken
what he wanted
and dark didn't hurt
just coated
the separation
skin shed
molten fall wind
where the orange responder
pushed the tattooed paw
while the youth left the building
without a whisper
she had a remarkably compact emotional range
and an orange cat
he had a breakfast personality
and never turned
on a dime
away
the corner
the other cheek
back old man
a trick
and ran
oh yes he did he did he did
he turned and ran
but she still had a glove box
where she kept the crumple tissue
and mapped out rivulet gully puddle wash
who did you think i was?
please protect my hands you begged
take the cover and smash it into the brick
hush
there's a world i can't be party to
dark marbled pounds of black and white
eighty eight, i believe
don't trust my forehead but trust my snakeskin eyes
i cave
you cave
he caves and she caves too
we all cave cardboard living
and box the misty moot points about the wife
move on
move in
pick the dust off the album cover and croon the old tunes
i was off doing stuff and being really normal in the last few years. was remarkable in its dullness. not that i wish misery on anyone but there are brief moments of creative angst that get art done that i missed. how's that for fucked up. Post Options
