The Empire of Fear
Just
when I thought shit couldn’t get worse
With
the girl
In the aluminum
colored mini dress
The sunglasses
were brought in
On a plate
Steaming from the oven
Hot to the touch to the bridge of my nose
The flesh behind my eyes
I had one hand on her behind
I didn’t mind the pain so much then
My erection throbbed to attention
Yes sir no sir two sacks full sir,
She gazed dispassionately
Hypnotized
As if the other wall was a wide screen tv
Set she turned me off
She muttered
I
moved my hand to the front of her panties determined to
Bear the full frontal brunt of her iciness
Between two fingers
I rubbed the genies lamp
I rubbed and rub a dub thubbed,
Detaching myselfI bent down
Until my lips kissed
The
hard cold metal looped
In her belly button
Reaching up for salvation
I blindly felt for the soft
Pliant skin of her nipples
I was firm with her then, ah yes, was I firm.
Suck me I exhaled heavily into her ear
Jettisoning my words like desires, but like seed on fallow ground
She got up
Went back into the party
Left the noise outside, the noise inside my chest
I masturbated
Coolly detached
All over the coats on the bed.
The Red House Panties
every cliché obsessions
a question
euphoria insides which
short shock me
gleefully
i finger
the red house panties
garbage
canned
enameled lids
worn
off
panties, inconsiderately discarded
i draw my coat tighter around my mind
rooting through the wet coffee filters
grounds
half eaten bananas diffused refuse crows caw raucously
overhead punctuating my greed
nothings as important to me as
the red house panties
chilled up
fired sweetly
i
bring my fingers to my face
ah the extravagant inhalation
my nose
ah her clothes
her clothes
no
more doubt turns off the bridge
into the oily murk
unconsciously
chewing corners of the cloth
rivuletting down the sides of my mouth.
the red house panties haunt me
even as i hold them close
inside i sense
i need to be inside
Ego Snake (Underneath Your Dress)
Love
too shall desert you
If you continue
To turn yourself aside
Give
Selflessly
Or suffer the consequences
I’ll bring you flowers
To press, against your burning breast
Like I desire too
Underneath your dress
I desire to
Inhabit
The soft touch of evil
is like silk
My tongue and kisses shall
emulate
I can be you salivation
But I don’t wish
To pontificate
No, I don’t’ wish to pontificate
You keep saying I’m not the one
Who ever is
You don’t even know me
Anyone can be the one
Given half the apple
Oh even half the apple
Can fill an empty belly
If you allow it too
I’m no serpent
Crawling upon your garden wall
Not at all
Undress
Underneath your dress
Is all the eden
I aspire to
Don’t be so Victorian
Unlace thyself
I’ll keep a knockin’‘til you let me in
There is no sin in sincerity
I am ardent
Can’t you feel how well this seduction’s going
Refrigerator
turn the woman’s body over like a chrysalis in my hands
no
other passion i dare to understand
the detached coolness of her flesh
like a lost world
it’s much better with girls
the first time i had the shakes
i was in a funk
a fog
no mercy no mercy
i
screamed along with her
in this addiction
i
wanna be society’s dog
what a gruesome situation
now
it’s beginning to bore me
while i’m boring through her
pieces in the bathtub
pieces in the refrigerator
oh
where oh where is the icy bliss i seek
your heads in my lap
your
bloody lips purpled and blue
songs sung blue
dribbling
down the drain
into my memory
the
pain you endured is nothing
nothing
you’re
gone
invincible
i gave this gift
of immortality to you
like a god descendant
i
stalk the streets of sodden dreams
dreams for girls like you
dispensing
graces
blessings
whole wheat i wonder
what you would taste
like on whole wheat
Detective
so goddammed beautiful
her hips wide
flayed spandex butterflied
purple
nipples staring into eternity
an empty sea
stones staring back at me
hands in pockets
circling the room to keep from falling in
to whatever sin
i
too am capable
of committing
blossoms and petals and roots
scattered beneath
a broken windowpane
the water spilled on the faded rug
water
welling up inside
of me
so goddammed beautiful so
still
beautiful
so……………
that death cannot crush or curse her anymore
like fine wine already turning
how much did it hurt
i wonder
the
clock strikes the back of my mind
i bend
hoping to find a clue
to put this puzzle through
unglue the mystery
the ache inside of me
Gun in the House
I wish I had a gun in my house
I’d pull it on all of my friends
Or sometimes just stick it in my mouth
Oh, I have no conscience
Or maybe too much of one, I’m just
A son of a gun bitch toting son of
a gun
The primacy of reason underpins
The primacy of fear
My dear I’d rather hold you close
And fill you full of tears
Oh, I have no rationale for the
Pain that I cause
Because
I love you
Do you love me too
Stroke my ego
Feel it’s cool steel urges
Impelling me to torture you like this
There is no connubial bliss
Just the kiss of twisted up emotions
Like
a marathon
We’re running side by side
I deride you to the ground
Thanks for the deride, I snicker
I’m snide when I’m inside you
Like a gun going off in an empty room
Echoing like thunder
Blundering senselessly
Like
a drunk in a drunk tank top
No thanks to you
You need me
I capitulate
Then screw you again and again and again
A
man needs a gun
Like a flower needs
the sun
Bullets are like seeds
With needs that must be planted carefully
Not cast among the weeds
Nurtured
Given
Like a flower
Beaucoups of bouquets
Passed between me and you
Ruminations On An Imagined Assignation (Deferred
on the Information Highway)
that angel lowered her eyes
twin pin points of red rimmed with white
innocently feral
like a wolf lone she wolf
with an uncaring stare
a
shark
even in lowered repose
you could not read the intangible mysteries
held within that soul
those eyes
i
longed to gouge them out
eat them
let them softly dissolve in my mouth
slithering deliciously down into my gullet
filling me with eternity if only for one day
i could see clearer then
rolling around in my guts like a new found love
dripping them egg yellow thoughts i
sidle
downstairs
out to the curb
stoop
pick up a bottle cap perceived as coin
i park my derriere atop the hood of a car
trying hard to look like a hoodlum
wishbone authentic carrying concealment
currying favorites
sycophants surrounding me wolf whistle
drooling over the angel
her
buttscape
her halo and wings
meanwhile I whose thoughts ooze back upstairs
to the peach colored woman
her contours melding into the delicacy of the divan
she lays face down upon
and there was
this
Japanese gentleman who was covered from chin to toe
in black
(only
his eyes behind horn rimmed spectacles were visibly above the wood)
observing her
sucking up her delicious picturesque
(I saw them both
only
me
love is strange flickering briefly
inandout of my mind
then evaporating
absorbed into the vortex
the void of mindlessness
i didn’t love them
they
didn’t acknowledge the existence of each other
i wished i could have rubbed fiberglass
into those bare shoulders
his peering eyes)
thin
papery stakes on each other
so intent
burning
me to him to her
she introspectively caught in her dreams
i wanted her to undress languorously slow motioned
thrill me provocative fruit i whispered
as she drifted off to sleep
like with t.v.
i grew bored with trying to bore into them
i drifted too
down
and outride
i don’t talk to anyone here
i don’t look at anyone here
i am a hood
ornament
powerful
iconic
i stonily sit granite watch tonight
(perhaps i’ll goo upstairs later
masturbate
satiate
my boredom more fully)
from my station
on the car
i am temporarily grateful for what
we’re handed down i am a shaman
in the dry season of love
heels clicking on the barren pavement
moving rapidly past me
like the keys on a stuttering typewriter
i could make up their stories
stories out of their passages
maybe as interesting as the leaving of their lives
probably as knotted
I feel like a sieve though
the sins
the
poisons of the city are fisting through me
assassinating
my soul
my inauspicious erratic soul
it’s garden weed choked
pollinating nevertheless
disseminating outward from me
towards the lunatic fringes of the moon
i’m afraid to go back upstairs really
perhaps the lady on the divan is gone
the japanese man too
shimmering jasmine miasma
hallucination in the fluorescent neon glow
one stark
the other shadowy
everyone moving in cobwebby fashions
interruptions of bright enameled laughter
if i had a hammer
i’d smash all of their teeth
break their jawbones too
into dogbreathed slavering
like crystalline icicles
(i remember vividly
as a boy
some
would stretch down from the roof to the ground
outside
my bedroom window
brittle winter
morning long ago
peering through
the icy bars
through to the
funnel of the future
straight into the
mirror of my adult eyes)
i accumulate outrage
ill revised
none of my yesterdays are as good or as tasty
as my tomorrows
the tornadoes of my own dreams
my dreams
i touch the place where the air
where a falling stars’ path was
absorbed into the earth
a
lurid streak of wish and promise
the
peachy Japanese woman melting into one entity
she
briefly materializes
fades in and out
about time
i know nothing
history knows less and shall know less of me
i exult my inconsequentiality
the sea i cry
the sea the briny sea
oh
mothering horn of humanity
ripples like a
tide slowly pulling me
up and out
up upon the antennae of the world
i cross out eventually
transcendent then
drifting from one rooftop to the next
coaxials trailing
sparking
sparkling agonies
utterly sublimated
frankly frantic electricity
i will not panic
with
my fingers twitching
running comfortingly
over imaginary strings and keys
my
mind slides again
down the greasy
pole of reality
until the white
lights
displaced by purpled planes smoothness
sensuous illuminations
and I’m floating
beneath your touch
my
testicles ripping out messages
sending signals
magnetically up my backbone to my brain
to
my eyes
my breasts
the point between us
until I sheen
illumine me
this is the closest
I have ever come to god
and he to me
i murmur fatuously
i feel like a god
so out of perilous control
your
body passionately absorbing mine
blindly
i struggle like prometheus with his gift
sisyphus with his stone
between the sheets
chained to you
sexual
fires so unlike true desire
i
am as ecstatic as a saint upon the torturers rack
rapturous
i want to be martyred
yes
eaten by the lions
sacrificed to the
new years....
