Long Bandages Poems

Tried to blow the castle down
It didn’t work

Welcome to society
Where you feel worthless and small.
You are judged for being ordinary
And judged for being different

I reach now in search of your locket concealed

It has...

Feeling anothers thoughts by touching his hands;
Can you tell who I am by my darker shades that follow the cracked, dry lines of your palms? Do you see what I hide from everyone else...

Times were hard – that is what they said
When they told me about their early years - 
before I was there, their son
Filled with the hunger of youth, the lust

a flash of light ...
thunder clapped like cannons as
into the old tree
we scurried ...
the mouth of its little
hollowed-out gut, yawning like some
tired old man from a Dickens story ...
perhaps the chin of the
ghost of Jacob...

The absence of hope nests upon my shoulders like epaulettes of desolation,
with its poisonous warmth that has burned my skin to the bone, leaving purple scars,

I've always showered 
care on ungrateful trees, 
the ones that bloomed

chained with entitlement 
and false lovebites, 
yet...

hovers around its sunset skin like a lover
and its Sappho sweet bite is heaven. A song
