with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles

How I Got Rich and What Happened ThenWritten in summer of 1976.
I used to eat my lunch with groups
of businessmen from Campbell Soups.
We drank a drink at lunch each day
Of Coca-Cola mixed with hay

And willow-haired orangutans.
I spent...

The Doubter hides behind religious guise,
Mistakes the raven for the pigeon in darkened skies.
His words beguile, twisting my skeletal fancy into a deceitful smile,
Espousing, “Darkness must be exposed by light”, all the while.

Into his world, I plunge, a breath, a rasp.
Beneath the creaking floorboards, a heart's pulse
In my mind, it throbs and gasps;
Suddenly, I'm the culprit, in horror's vice, my...

What blood, what dish,
For obozhatelnitsa dreams!

Vamp quickly flew away in the night.
So they came slowly -
Fed with the darling child,
While the girl gradually
From bloodsuckers in the coffin came down.

AwakeningThere is an ancient sadness that runs through you,
Creeps through your core,
Burrows deep,

Immovable in decay,
A proud heritage,
Of hypocrites,
Heretics,
And the occasional martyr,
You know them still,
Lain beside...
