We went from clubs, bow and arrow
to a fetish for nuclear diseases.

Mendin Fences

and most days, my hands don’t feel like mine anymore...
callused, cracked...

Boss Map Walt Marie

...Sure as stars shined she stumbled.
Falling.

A fierce lightning rod flickering
wild sparks.

Put the appetite front and center.

Hard hands callused to the bone,
dialed in.

Pity the Shovel that Buries the Earth

...Beneath a callused skin of light
the hunched and mustered
clap a prayer between a leaking sight.

what little flesh hasn’t folded
to thicker skin in the game.

Now callused, rough and worn.	 
The veins that once were hidden now		 
Protrude as purple strands.			 

Baby skin, now savage wounds		 
Display how muc...

Awakened Longing

The scene you render, serene and sublime,
Awakens a longing, untouched by time.

...Oh! Angel that brought my sight to the light of this world 
How can I express my sorrow seeing you torn to pieces?
How can I catch the bullets that hit every strand of your vein

Wings Of Fire

...Into the dark corners of desire,
long left standing upon 
the un-swept floor of secret yearning

The stone basin holds
still water. The still water

drinks the arid sponge
as rays of pure energy

then a great wind blew the rest away.

Early humans came late.
They had callused soles and rough hands
