Impaled Poems

Wheeling

I sometimes feel
if JC had been broken on the wheel
instead of impaled and nailed to a cross
would Catholics be at a loss
or wave their hand
reeling in a circular motion
in front of themselves
when 'wheeling'
as opposed to 'crossing' themselves
while Trinity words were spoken
and if so clockwise or counter
my best guess is the former
as 'tho sacrificed
counter would imply

Impaled

Arrows fly causing chem trails, 
such crazy twisted cupid tales! 
Could have flown farther 
boomerang hit the archer;
Now they fall, a crush impales.

Impaled Again

A sword slices through empty space,
the air bleeding as sutures trace

To pierce not once but pierce again,
your breath scarlet, its stain portends

A breeze sharpens—all time erupts,  
seasons hemorrhage and flow corrupt

The wind incited—torn by pain,
truth the loser, impaled again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

I Am Impaled

Flailing madly
Against the tide,
I am impaled
By the futility of life.

Slowly losing myself
In the bitter cold,
The devil's clenching fingers
Encase my soul.

Impaled Dreams

Impaled
On your barbed tongue
    Insults glistening with spite
Against your heart of thorns, bleeding
Mine crying impaled tears
    A nail through our love
Impaled forlornly with cupids’ arrow
Poisoned by cruel words
    A dream promised impaled by abuse

Impaled

and again it stabs, a flickering flash
like Macbeth’s floating dagger:
invisible, hallucination, a silent pain.

Like a nettle, a rose’s thorn,
it twists and curdles into rotten barbed wire.

It rests in your pockets
sits in your palm,
it vibrates on our tables
and jolts us from an already fitful sleep.

Influencing ones and zeros 
flood over bodies and seep into conversations,
ooze across

Impaled

She had auburn hair and green eyes
And a sophisticated gait
That brought her through the bat wing doors
As if her entry sealed my fate

I planned my approach carefully
Then suddenly I ceased to think
I stared at her and could not move
Impaled by an old fashioned wink

By and by she came 'round and smiled
As I just continued my

Impaled Wolf

Little wolf, who is lost
Howl for help, hide your flaws
None see eyes, all see fur
All see fangs, none see hurt
See how well you hide the gore
As your psyche screams for more
More gripe, feel the warm juice
Cast another lame excuse
Those who cast eye do not care
It's more than their minds can bear
