Meant to Bleed

Monday, November 8th, 2010

All my fault
I wanted to belong
To be a part of it
Always peer­ing through that gate
That fence
That cage
That caul

So they gave me
The white pills
And the tan pills
The big pills
and cute lit­tle foot­balls
All very sci­en­tific
Stamped and approved
By the FDA

Would they change me?
Would I no longer be
Who I am?
They laugh at me
Ain’t that the point
You stu­pid mother fucker!

I took em
I hear them Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yaying
Through by blood­stream
like kids on a water slide
But when they get to my brain
Oh they get seri­ous
I can hear the clang of ham­mers
And dron­ing sounds of drills
And the rum­ble of heavy machin­ery
Earth movers and cranes
A mech­a­nized symphony

And they don’t change me
They don’t change any­thing
Numb me for an hour or two
Bout it.

You can never fix a bro­ken mir­ror
or read a book
With miss­ing pages
Mute peo­ple can’t talk
And the deaf can’t hear
Some things are just meant
To be bro­ken
cracked and imper­fect
Some things are just meant
To bleed

So I can never have their love
or their joy
or their beauty
their con­tent­ments
their smiles

I don’t under­stand them
And they’ll never under­stand me
Noth­ing wrong with that
Just the way it is
Some things are just meant to be bro­ken
Some things are just meant to bleed.

Book of lost words

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

In garbage strewed alleys
The Book lay aban­doned
A soli­tary Pen shud­ders in an uncar­ing wind
Rolling in time to the groans of dying gods

Words writ­ten in Human excre­ment
Smeared across aged brick
Pro­claim the death of truth
Who wan­ders aim­lessly
A men­di­cant seek­ing…
Always seeking…

Neon illu­mi­nates burnt souls
With store bought smiles
And snake oil pock­ets
Flash­ing credit cards
Like Gun­slingers
Car­ry­ing Coupons
Writ­ten in third world blood

The Book with need
The Pen with pas­sion
Lie cov­ered
With col­lec­tive indif­fer­ence
Who would grasp the Ink?
Who would give voice?

Invis­i­ble tears
Min­gle with flot­sam and jet­sam of the real
Blar­ing trum­pets announce Phony Poets
Sell­ing words and tin hearts
Pas­sion hangs on a road­side bar
Feet kick­ing
Tongue lolling
With a face the shade
Of Martha Stewart’s bed sheet du Jour

It rather die than live here

It lays in garbage strewed alleys
Aban­doned
Who will grasp the Ink?
Who will give voice?

Invisible

Can you see them?
There!
Over there!
Open your eyes Mother Fucker!



Yes
They’re wraiths
Specters
Chimeras
Light does not touch them
Slides off em
Like Teflon
You walk through them
Never around



At lit­tle Johnny’s soc­cer game
You step on their heads and laugh
You pull their arms and legs off
Use em
To push their dreams away



That much fur­ther from their grasp



Their tears har­vested
By your cor­po­rate catch­ers
Who use them
To grease dia­mond stud­ded pussy



Tasha, 1989
A real good year for pussy



Why?
You don’t fuck
You own
Love will never
Touch your soul



Oh yea
The blind cunt with the scales
Gig­gles
And says
“I can’t keep a straight face“
“Surely they must know“
“I’m not only blind“
“I don’t even give a fuck“



Laugh
Laugh
Laugh



The Invis­i­ble
Do not laugh
They do not smile
Do not enjoy
Golden sun rises
Nor
Nature’s palette
Such beauty is not
For them
They’re angry
Per­co­lat­ing rage
In
Dol­lar store Haute cou­ture
Dream­ing of dis­in­te­grat­ing empires
Of cas­tles
Torn apart by bloody hands
Of a World in flames
Of upside down cru­ci­fixes
Shoved up God’s pre­ten­tious ass



They hud­dle
In despair
And
They
Plot



Revenge



Jus­tice





They Come for me

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

As if the beats of my heart were unique.
As if I were a star in a long dead con­stel­la­tion
To be res­ur­rected by sad eyes

Lay­ers of false hope strew the stage
Genet­i­cally pre­dis­po­si­tioned to save the gene
I am more than that fuckers!

Climb they implore
Can you not see the light?
I can not be blinded by false hope

Their pen­ciled stick fig­ured God
Would embrace me
Like some chick’s cheap fuck toy

Would you cheapen insan­ity?
Make it a crawl­ing insect
Search­ing for death?

I stare at the world
In a ring made of cheap dreams
It ain’t good enough

I go deeper into the maze
The path is down
Not up

I am the last magi­cian
But I ply no tricks
I just dig

Deeper

Deeper

Silent Death Within The Tomb~para

Friday, February 5th, 2010

There are so many suf­fo­cat­ing images
On the sec­ond story
That they jump for their lives
Like glo­ries on fire
Flam­ing the sky
With the back­drop clouds
To liven the enter­tain­ment
For eyes dry
And clouded over by judg­ment
And for the tries dimin­ished
At the wake of shrouds
Revealed.



Images that wit­ness their own death
Forced still­births
For the sake of held breath
And the mea­sur­ing of penis girth
Of mere babes
Sealed upon impact
To be mem­o­ries
Held tight as momen­tary fact
And glim­mer­ings of what could have been
Of what can­not defend itself
As real­ity…
Too late
Just another casu­alty
Of feel­ing black­ened
By the great pharaohs
Elated
Berated again.



They were
But can­not be proven
Again as uncer­tain
Cre­mated for blurt­ing the words
Into the vol­cano of the sun…
What was begun
Was heard
Then spun
Into a thou­sand shat­tered webs
Weep­ing
And keep­ing track­ing of each tear
Sleep­ing on the edge of the pil­low…
Each creep­ing sil­hou­ette
Dis­solves
Upon the light of day.



There’s noth­ing left wide open
And noth­ing left
With more to say or groom…
The will cuts the
Umbil­i­cal
As death screams silence
To echo
Within the pyramid’s tomb
As a bereft womb.

Another failed suicide attempt

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

My broth­ers hear the crash and break the door down… Absurdly, I men­tally curse Home Depot and their cheap fuck­ing doors. So there I am with a belt around my neck and the entire drop ceil­ing strewed about the room. I fuck­ing hate failed sui­cide attempts. I mean what can you say, “Whoops?” It’s like get­ting caught by your future ex-wife with your sweat pants draped about your ankles wax­ing your car­rot to the Fredrick’s of Hol­ly­wood web site. That has hap­pened to you, right? Please say yes.

I briefly won­der how woman mas­tur­bate. Prob­a­bly with envi­ron­men­tally friendly solar pow­ered dil­dos. I hate Women.

So my older Bro says, “Dick­weed, stick with drink­ing your­self to death, suits your style.” Gotta love my Brother.

So I decide to go out­side, which is a feat in itself because I haven’t left my room in about three months. I find most peo­ple bor­ing — I really hate rub­bing elbows with the fuck­ers. I leave the belt around my neck; I fig­ure maybe I can pass it off as some kind of new sar­to­r­ial style.

I see the mail­man and I was going to tell him to stop deliv­er­ing me mail, I don’t open the fuck­ers– what’s the point. But, I fig­ured he worked for the Post Office and there­fore was in his own pri­vate hell.

So I make it to the over­pass, beneath me is the New Jer­sey Turn­pike. I read some­where; it was one of the most trav­eled roads in the US. I watched the social insects whiz by. I dig the sound. The World is full of songs; you just have to know how to listen.

I notice the inward curv­ing fence and it pisses me off. (I’m always pissed) I mean it’s not like I can’t get some C4 and blow a whole in the sucker.

I know they are try­ing to stop jumpers. Not because they care about human life, they don’t want you fuck­ing with traf­fic. I once saw a jumper splat­tered like sea gull shit on the asphalt. Peo­ple were get­ting out of their cars and kick­ing the dead fucker say­ing shit like:

I got a mas­sage in 30 min­utes I’m late because of you dead shit”

I have a two hour win­dow to cheat on my hus­band and fuck Ted the insur­ance man”

And my per­sonal favorite:

Some­one scrape this dead fucker off the road”

So I mosey down to the local Dot Head store. What’s his name is at the counter. Cool dude but he has far too many con­so­nants in his name. Hence “What’s his name?” Now, he has this pet Ana­conda who he loves, so I ask him if he has any new pic­tures and his eyes light up and says: “I’ll be right back.” He runs to the back room and I run to chest freezer where­upon I start stuff­ing frozen Ice cream sand­wiches down by pants and in my pock­ets. I love steal­ing shit and I love Ice cream sandwiches.

So he comes back and starts show­ing me the pic­tures of his pet snake and in the mean­time my balls are freez­ing from the frozen Ice Cream sand­wiches stuffed in there and let’s face it, who needs frozen balls.

I give him a fake smile and I split and start eat­ing my plun­der. Oh yea, then I went home.

Crossroads

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Screams

Demonic

Drown­ing out heav­enly choir.

Cherubs

Laugh­ing

Crea­tures of despair

Singing



Armed only with smirk and pain.

I sit and wait

I already know my fate

My guardian whis­pers in ter­ri­fied pleading

It’s not too late”



Seek­ing comfort

I com­fort.

Want­ing relief

I relieve

Need­ing some­one to catch my tears

I find I can no longer cry.

Go! And sal­vage the salvageable”

Its screams sucked down by Newton’s insight



At the Crossroads

No color

Bat­tle­ship grey

Tis a place

No one need be



I am no longer

A Man

But a cor­us­cat­ing sem­blance of

For­got­ten dreams

Trans­par­ent

My essence

Dis­played

Like a cheap dime store man­nequin



One approaches

Glides

Not deign­ing to step

Another

Flut­ters down from angry heaven

Two crea­tures of absolute

Good

Evil

They Vie

Take my path” they cry

Why?



Mozart and Wagner

Hess and

Cer­vantes

Approach

Enter

The debate

Cer­vantes speaks

Take nei­ther left nor right!”

Heed Don Quixote’s quest”

Fight the windmill.”

There will you find”

Heart and soul’s true test.”



I cannot

Smile

Wince is all

I can

Do

At the Crossroads

A myr­iad of paths

Good and Evil

Cry col­lec­tive disbelief

As they merge and blend into

Log­i­cal incon­sis­tency



Pock marked Mozart

Catches my sight­less eye

Only through music”

Can”

The heart be sung.”



I

Try

To dust off the pain

But it is alloyed

Fused with my heart

I stand

Know­ing my last act

Will be

Defi­ance

But

One last song

I need to

sing

Here there be Demons

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

It was a rick­ety old thing…

The train that is…

Filled with busted dreams

And

Salty tears

And face­less people

Who no longer cared



There were not many there to see me off

Just a few…

They begged me not to leave

Where was I going

I had no idea

I was just going

Who can answer such questions

Their tears were touching

As If they knew

I was never com­ing back



Take directions

No point in that

I never fol­low them

Go right

I go left

Besides

No mat­ter which way you go

You always arrive at your des­ti­na­tion



Look­ing back

I won­der if I had a choice

If I could have changed anything

Might as well try to change

The color of your eyes

The way you laugh

Or

Will the rain away



I arrived

It was a cold place

The Sun sel­dom shone here

Twi­light the best you could hope for

There were no flowers

Just twisted green things

Reach­ing out

Towards an invis­i­ble savior

In that struggle

They were beau­ti­ful



There is much beauty here

A daunt­ing will to survive

Which per­me­ates all life



A dour moon

Which paint all in glim­mer­ing ice crys­tals



An inces­sant breeze

That orches­trates

A heartrend­ing dance



A Landscape

Hewed from Earth’s tired bones

Stabs out at the night

Pro­claim­ing In painful epitaph

I am Alive“



But here…

There be Demons

The Envelope

I AM SKIN STRETCHED TAUNT

I AM EVERYTHING AND NOTHING

BLOOD, GUTS, BONESINEW

AM I MORE THAN THE SUM OF MY PARTS?



I AM ENERGY’S SWIRLING DANCE OF ELECTRONS

I AM THE SCIENTIST’S CONFUSION

TO UNDERSTAND

THE UNDEFINABLE

WHAT CONTAINS ME?



MY EMOTIONS SEETHE.

A MAELSTROM OF NEVER FORGOTTEN DESPAIR

ROOTED LIKE CORAL

SURROUNDED BY TURQUOISE MEMORY

TRAILING TO AND FRO TOWARDS MYSTERIOUS LOVE

DESIRE’S MISTRESS, COLD HEARTED AND FAIR

ALABASTER

STONE

TASTELESS



I AM KINDLING

MATCHLESS,

CONSPIRING DRY

READY TO ERUPT INTO MAJESTIC DANCING TONGUES OF FLAME



I AM THE BLANK SLATE.

AN ARTISTS HUMBLING YEARNING TO BECOME



I AM DEVOTION TO RITUAL

I PLAY OUT IN ENDLESS SCREAMS OF FRUSTRATED CONSTRUCTS



DEATH WHO DO YOU SEEK?

IF NOT ME



I AM THE VAGABOND

HOMELESS

BEREFT OF KINSHIP

WHAT I EAT OTHERS HAVE NO NEED FOR

NO CHARITY

SIMPLE EXCESS



I AM THE BLADE OF GRASS

THE LENGTH OF MY LIFE

DETERMINED BY THE TILT OF THE EARTH

AND THE PARCHNESS OF THE SOIL



I AM THE MISFIT

NO DESTINY

NO FATE

MERELY A CONFLUENCE OF UNRELATED EVENTS

A MUTATED STRAND OF DNA

REPLICATING

BECOMING

ME



DEATH SMILES AND OPENS IT’S ARMS

HE SMILES PLEASANTLY

OLD FRIEND

WE SHALL MEET SOON

I GOT NOTHING BUT TIME

I DO NOT FEAR THEE, REAPER

AM I DIFFERENT THEN THE FALLEN LEAVES THAT FEEDS THE TREE?

OR THE CARCASS THAT THE LION DEVOURS?

SUCH A SMALL PRICE



I AM ILLUSION. YOU CAN NOT SEE ME

I AM THE CHILD READING HESS, CAMUS, FREUD AND DOSTOEVSKY

SEEKING TRUTH

NEVER FINDING



I AM ODIN’S THUNDERBOLT, HERCULES STRENGTH, THOR’S HAMMER AND DIONYSUS LAMENT

I AM THE CASTRO’S BALLS

ROLLING

TOWARDS CHANGE AND REVOLUTION



I AM THE FORGOTTEN POEMS OF LOVE

I AM BEAUTY NO ONE WILL SEE OR HEAR

LONELIER IS THE WORLD WITHOUT ME



HOPELESS REFRAIN

FEEL WHATFEEL

SUCH HURT

SUCH PAIN



I AM A MISTRESS’S BEAUTY

LUST SO PURE

LEAVING HEART’S BROKEN

TEARS

AND PAIN



I AM THE ONE EYED JANUS

I SEE THE PAST

NO FUTURE

NOTHING

BUT DARKNESS



I SEEK MY SOUL

THERE MUST BE MORE TO THIS

AM I BUT WORM FOOD?

OR A WEAVE IN THE UNIVERSAL CLOTH.



I AM INFINITELY FINITE

I AM LOVE’S LAMENT

I AM GUTS AND BLOOD

COVERED BY SKIN

STRETCHED SO TAUNT.

ORIGINAL SIN

Monday, November 30th, 2009

WAS I THE LAMB WHO STRAYED FROM THE FOLD?

WITH BLEEDING HEART BEATING SYNCOPATED RHAPSODY

BLIND TO THE TENEMENT CITADEL THAT LIES

WITHIN YOUR FALSE HEART!

CALLING SEX’S’ DESIRE,

YOUR LEGS FLY OPEN LIKE SCREEN DOOR SUMMER!

YOUR MUTATED DNA LAYING CONGEALED AND FERMENTING TOWARDS PATHLESS FUTURE.

WHILE YOURE MOANING FORGED PASSION!



CAN HE HEAR YOU?



AM I LAZARUS FRESHLY RISEN

ONLY TO BE SLAUGHTERED ANEW EACH DAY?

PELTING ROCKS AND UNCHIVALROUS ARROWS STRIKING MY FACELESS BACK?

FALLEN HEROES RISING FROM ANCIENT BATTLEFIELDS CRYING HAVOC AND ATTACK!…ATTACK!…ATTACK…!

AM I COMPELLED TO BECOME ODIN’S SPEAR, VISHNU’S POWER AND ACHILLES WRATH?

DO FORCE MY TREAD UPON THAT PATH!



WILL I METASTIZE MALINGNAT CANCERS SCREAMING MY MORTALITY?

WILL THE SAME WIND THAT CHILLS MY SOUL TOUCH EVERY ONE AS FATALLY?

WILL I EVER BE PART OF SOMETHING GREATER THAN I CAN EVER BE?

ROOTLESS AND ALONE AS DECADENT SUMMER’S STORM TOSSED TREE?

IN DARKNESS SO BLACK NO LIGHT CAN PIERCE NOR EYE CAN SEE.

WILL THE LOCKED DOOR OF WISDOM DENIED, FOREVER BETRAY ME



DO THE DANCING PLANET’S CONFORM TO KEPLER’S LAWS

OR ONWHIM.

AM I FOREVER CONSIGNED TO PARADISE LOST AND ORIGINAL SIN
