Red Queens Black Kings
"Red Queens Black Kings"
"Poetry green leaves with blue veins bleed
Razor sharp life cuts imprints words do breathe"
Smiles and waves
O Sweet black empathy
How’s your Happy House today?
Swallows sing
Four and twenty blackbirds and
A closed fist full of blood and rusty crucifix nails
beckons stooges all empty souled owls
holding their messages in blunt talons
sit in their caged closets
full of secrets plenty
whistling iron beaks
they’ve envelopes
to steam
there sit the jaded sinners
all winners
open table
dealing wagers
and best bowers
for hot kitties
Black Kings
Red Queens
holding their messages in blunt talons
sit in their caged closets
full of secrets plenty
whistling iron beaks
they’ve envelopes
to steam
Smiles and waves
O Sweet black empathy
How’s your Happy House today?

Happy House/Sioxie and the Banshees
“If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second greatest favour you can do them is to present them with copies of The Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.”
“I hate writing, I love having written.”
“It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard.”
“That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgement.”
