My Head It Turns

Oh this roaring
It can not escape my ears
For it began when I was so young
And it has become a part of me
An essential energy
Orbiting my true soul
And my hand it rests all the while
Nestled on my groin
Waiting for the ferocious storm
Suited and exhaling
Knowing it’s wants
Exhibition of instinct before me
I await the true gallery
I coax the knowledge
The untying of the knot
For the world to be thrown against the horizon
I want the solace of evening
The comfort of morning
And I know you all watch
Waiting for a sign
But the world is not yet ending
The world it stays the same
I look at reflections
I look at the triumph of my nest
And there is no definitive madness
Nothing to define
Nothing to overcome
But the blue of night
The stream of blood and alcohol
We all await this new birth
The bargain of tomorrow
The knot that lies undone

THE RIDDLE, THE FLAW, AND THE PUNISHMENT

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...
