The Last Worlds To Conquer


Grabbing at the claimed land that is your mind
The nerves at the tips of my fingers senseless
The skin hardened with the crawling to your feet
Over the world that I conquered
And I wept for there was one more to conquer
Yours
The Claimed land that is you mind
My lips meeting yours like two naval fleets
and in between them, two sea monsters
Thrashing, sensual and terrifying hard against one another
Our eyes blinded by the golden fringed darkness
Our inner-vision blurred by the black-bordered lust
(like funeral paper, heavy, foggy, madness invoking)
We feel around for one another's weak points
For the strongest standing point
And we decide what it is we can afford to lose and wish to gain
All I want is the claimed land that is your mind
It holds something that I want
And I have conquered all to come to you
Come to conquer the pride that has claimed it
So I can free the fog
And wash clean the remnants
And after the battle I will sacrifice to eros
The heavenly little bird mongrel
Who sits upon my shoulder and forces me to claim
That which isn't mine
For the sake of my pride and for no one's real benefit
but I do not weep
For their are always more words to conquer
And your claimed mind will be yours once more
Battle weary and scarred
Although yours, none the less
After  many long battles, we two men, grabbing at each other
Our swords fighting, stabbing, and when fallen
We will go our separate ways
But I shall have a little bit of you
You will have found
I have claimed a little of your heart

THE RIDDLE, THE FLAW, AND THE PUNISHMENT

If I am beautiful am I real? Like the boys on the 24th floor They are beautiful I don't know how to reach them I don't know how they got there Are they real? Are they the small book of poems Left beneath Sebastian's tree A page for each face A sonnet for each precious, beautiful, life of the boys on the 24th floor Each pulling at the others clothes baring chests and thighs some smooth like stone Some coarse with hair like velvet If I am beautiful Do I exist Do these boys on the 24th floor exist? Are they merely the temperature, the weather? The blush across my cheeks? How do I find this hidden floor? Where the bed is a sacred alter Holding those Beautiful fellows Are the words of the bible A book for each? Or merely strains of Liliaceae Showing their holy strength in the force of their stalk and colour They are the beautiful Those boys on the 24th We artist and poets we search for ever And what of us? Are we not beautiful? Are we not real? Why is it we never find the 24th...

The Moon is a Transvestite

The Moon is the greatest of Transvestites She holds the bruises of school bullies Her makeup is better than any lady you will meet Better than my bullish sister Better than the painted prostitutes of media Better than the young men of music The Moon she gets up on stage once a month Puts on her sequinned show Parading and dancing and showing us the theatre or romance and space And then she will slowly draw her blinds Closes her door Allows herself to rest Sitting on her favourite lounge Wearing her favourite satin gown Watching reruns of an old detective show I love The Moon

An Ode To Pain

You just drink to get drunk to dance And you just dance to have a brief taste of myth You don't shave sometimes to feel criminal And when you do you feel exceptionally last century The music you listen to was written by a man with woolly hair His cock was large and his genius was broad He found he could run fast when the rock fences were falling As you found were decidedly slow But the punches and the kicks felt alright Something to write to Frederico about An ode to pain perhaps, an ode to Sadism And where will the return address be? What land, city, bridge? Are you to dwell in the orchard all your life Pissing against the same trees as the other artists? Sleeping on top of the shadows, trying to slow the light Did you ever hear the myth of the Frenchman and the sailor? The Sailor fucked the Frenchman upon a ship that was carrying peaches From America to the port of Lamoux The more they fucked the more peaches were destroyed Until by the time they were hit b...
