Bleaches Poems

Crape Myrtles in August

...The bark peels back like old skin—
Mine, yours, the cinnamon scrolls
Of what we shed to live. August
Bleaches the world to bone, the bark’s faint spice
Rising in the noon glare,
Heat tasting of ...

The Bright Tread

...Summer brings strong sunshine for the strong,
but what happens when its tread
falls disinterestedly upon the weak?
Behold they have become silent,
the sky bleaches bones
and does not look backwa...

Usurper Moon Tableau

...Moon rises surprised,
eschews its pocked face,
caught in early glare
of sun in bleaches
awaiting its call.
A starlet usurped!...

Poses and Pout

...She plasters it on thick
Bleaches ,curls and glues
Draws on and colours in
Products galore she does use

After hours of beautification
She squeezes into a tiny short dress
Huge breasticles on ...

Relevant and Irrelevant Brightness

...Shines
the darkness
in
ghostly  hints...
Shine artificial 
substances
pretended
to be gold...

Double J - Just Jetsam

...Marred and minced remnants pile high in a storm’s swarm
Yesterdays, hardened-soft, surface where sea’s warm…

Flotsam found, lays tales around, in frayed traces
Another shattered shell whimpers o...

Shamrock, Texas

...brown on dusty mustard

clashes

with streaks of gray

A Traipse of Light

...the relentless unbroken light 
breathes in the fathom night
walking darkness one last time
tousled red silk strands ignite 
dying strings for bleaches smite

Wet T-Shirt

...Life is not a race and depression is real

	Got the shirt done and dusted every now

The Prophet and the Pendulum

...There is more love in a hyena’s *******
Then there is in an old whores face.
Only her cheap perfume is enough
To distract the eyes away
By filling the nostrils

Beggars Can'T

...I am faceless

Tattered by actuality

Heart thrumming in my ears

Blind to prospects

Voiceless ... soundless


Yet I scream, mute

Face to the sky, I wail like a fiend

Hailing th...

What I Did For Art

...You want to know its merits? 
Very well, then. Daylight slants 
deliciously across the boy's 
inclined, thoughtful face. 
His lace collar, crumpled, 
houses valleys of shadow. 
Or what about th...
