• Windowledge

  When I was young and hated life I brandished pain, the oldest knife Recalcitrance’s balled fists crying out in need Cold-blooded offspring of a certain serpent’s seed I recall standing on a ledge, up three floors Part performance, and this really was, seek no metaphors Like a man who is allergic to doors Out on…

• James Joyce Vampire Direction

  Thanatological inclinations push me from my bed Sanguine susurrations, your blood sings to my head My patience like thinning mercury, my tightening grip Orgiastic flashes of wounds and dripping whips When I’m done his blood gets drained Leave bleak crime scenes men get insaned His claws brandished but his body maimed Bellied blood swims, his…

• Messing Around On Boats At Night (MAOBAT)

  Dark during day like the mind of a killer Doubt he’s coming home for dinner Seeing signs he’s been assigned the role of sinner Craving a witch finger blimmer Gold lens to alchemize, make this grey plain glimmer Something off the main trail shimmers Phone he tossed ringing already, either they smarting and he’s grown…
