Only Mistaken



Good Morning
A fresh reflection of fog
I wouldn't live in the forest forever
Only while the Casuarinas sing
I thought I knew the drunken friend
I thought I knew my childhood self
I thought I clung to memory
I know I let it go
And the voice that comes from the sun
Is the same that wished for ice and water
The explosions in my ear at night
Come from birth, from death
I can hear the distorted poetry
The law of that which owns me
I can claw at these walls
I can smoke the energy away
Nail the pictures to the wall
Step to the rhythm
The shy beat of the Romantic Wind
Are you living a life you already regret
Are you feeding from the tit of muddy water
What do you learn from days like today
What do you take from the night of the strange dance
And you have to try a little harder
To feel the cock between my legs
And you see me get fatter, you see me fade
You see me throw myself on the ground
And listen for the penny to follow
The line slowly walks past
Heads bowed with no remorse
No thoughts on tomorrow
Putting more faith in god
Than they do in the fat cocks that they play with at night
A real anguish game
With rules set but not followed
Because the umpires are all dead
The referees are ill
And no one really minds who wins
Because everyone is sober
And i'm fed up
But then maybe I'm only mistaken
Maybe I'm content and everyone is pissed

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...
