No Longer Human

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

I rip off this outer skin of false­ness.
I am on all fours sniff­ing the ground for mem­ory lost.
I scream gut­tural sounds at the moon­less night.
Roll on my back in con­tented ani­mal delight.



Where is my prey?
That which will sus­tain me.
My teeth gnash and snap.
Saliva flows wel­comed
Unbidden.

The pain of hunger…
Sweet,
Nec­es­sary.
Fills me.
Reced­ing images con­fuse me…
I was some­thing else, before…
Fading….Fading.



The bray­ing comes sweetly to my ear.
A lone sound in the dark­ness of hungers pain.
The chase is on.
This is why I am.
I do not see the ter­ror in its eyes.
As I tear out its throat.



This is the dance, the game…
I am instinct!
…Survival’s pawn.



And I scream my vic­tory
Shrill into the indigo night.



I am the pack less wolf.
I whis­per my lone­li­ness to the mock­ing Moon.
And I howl…

Imperfect Creature

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

I’ve been forged in the white hot heat of pas­sion
I’ve been annealed and tem­pered in the fur­nace of Despair
I’ve been honed and sharp­ened by teacher Pain
I’ve spent time amid the home­less
And writ­ten poems with the insane



I am the cylin­der that mis­fired
Pointed at my head
I am the bro­ken rope
Wealed and con­gealed
Upon my throat
Even Death rejects me



I am the scarred man
The imper­fect crea­ture
Fun­nels run down my cheeks
Home for famil­iar tears



While you are edg­ing your lawn this week­end
And putting down the weed and feed
Know we are out there



Watch­ing…
Wait­ing…
Feel­ing
Cry­ing…
Know­ing…
Liv­ing…
Dying…



We are the imper­fect Crea­tures
God’s aban­doned Chil­dren
And we are everywhere
