"Purgatory is a Poem"



Words are the pieces
in a game we play
shadow and light 
hidden from day
poets are nocturnal
in nature, stasis, 
keen and hungry
listening to 
Forever
stuck between 
the doors to
Past, Now and Never -
senses feral 
and hunting, 
haunting their prey,
but they are mortal
dreaming immortal -
what they really feed on
is swallowing 
Light by day,
fresh thoughts,
slowly shucked lush
like a fleshy oyster
jewels from the See
holy or unholy,
then damned with dismay,
before lips are dreamt of,
kissed hungrily -
salty you toss aside
the "once were there", 
alone my poet 
you turn
towards the 
reflected words 
in the mirrors
of Others,
hirsute hearts 
boiling and frumptious -
then turning  
towards solitary,
you walk up 
the stairs


Eyes close to dream. 
They are all just 
naked souls 
in briny ocean
veins pumping 
loud in their 
quietness 
they bleed -
Life remains
somewhere 
far away
in the
wake of another's day
in the 
wake of another's dreams

bed ends your day again
the lights are turned off
you look at your clock
3:33
and you are absent
once more
from me

Words are the pieces
in a game we play

Hear all the ghosts 
of a place past 
whisper your name,
silently you call them in, 
they are smitten 
and tame 

In third person
you’re seeking
Modigliani
feverish for Rome,
When what he wets 
his brush with is not 
cadmium ochre yellow 
nor burnt sienna 
sliding under 
Purgatorio sheets
warm with bound wrists
tied tight together
with soft leather

an
unknown
enters your story

What he wets 
his brush with
could call you 

Home

“Rome is not outside me, but inside me.. Her feverish sweetness, her tragic countryside, her own beauty and harmony, all these are mine, for my thought and my work.” Modigliani
