Long Drywall Poems

When flipping a house

I woke with blood in my mouth
and no memory
of the scab that sealed the rasure.

I’m cat-spitting
dog-growling
peregrine-divebombing
rooster-flogging
badger-flipping
hornet-stinging
wolverine-ripping mad.

I fired the sun for showing up late
cursed the fridge light until
yogurt soured in terror.

God called
I let it ring...

He tastes the salt before he knows he's shed a tear
He'd always been a staggering man
Since his Army days known by most simply as Big Roy
Now he's a staggered man
This night, curved and hunched
Bags so...

The robbery of the soul...
The trampling of boundaries 
like a frenzied stampede of 
elephants..
The cutting of ties that bound 
us with reckless abandon.
 Emblazoned with it's name, 
PRIDE, across the blade,  
It's a slash...

I’m with you,
I’m without when not.

That’s how much you’ve become.
Plastered fabric enmeshed into me.
Like drywall, yet to crack, but firm and white.

Bare bones make us who we are.
I can feel yours now, I think.

The way...

they paint my weakness, my strength 
they paint the fire in my...

To my future lover, 

Why me? I feel that I don't deserve you, that there are way more attractive, smart, and funny individuals out there--fit to match the mold of your heart. I can't even...

I was born to be the dark horse...the underdog. 
But, I'm nowhere near endearing enough for people to root for me. 
Some look at me pitifully like I'm a blind puppy, others see me as...

Peace In The Light

I live in a drywall box
Sitting alone staring at my clocks
With landscape art hanging all around me
Its no wonder inspiration has finally found me

One day my mind forced my hand to start...

My girlfriend is not a poet in  the way that most people mean. 
She is a collector of rare and valuable information. Today,

she told me about cats & the color of their coats. We...

shivering teeth the ceiling’s descent,
the drunken spongy borders of
dim imagined soggy pulsing
images in foggy spots,
exhalation and the sound of exhalation,
sense as the center of dampening paper
surrounded by our soft cocooning breath.
the shrieks are streaked across...

Wooh oh
You wear a badge honor,
Your heart is filled with courage;
You have rings around your color;
No one would ever know that;

you’re homeless
He’s homeless, I’m homeless not hope less;
Jesus is not home and I’m not alone

For...

Walking Out on the Devil

Of course this is what I asked for.
Exactly what I wanted.
Some would say, 
Even what I deserve.

I knew it would be hard.
Maybe not this hard.
I had expectations of emotional loss.
But I...

WALLPAPER

---------------------
Paper Thin
Cut down to any size,
Crumble, crop me wrong 
Pull the insulation from my heart.
Never will I be "A Paper Doll!"
Thank you for calling me a "Friend!"
Thank you for wasting  my "time!"
Enjoy the WALLPAPER...

When love leaves, taking your home and walls, 
Let the elements beat you down
No job or acquaintances to shield you
Nothing but waiting as your friend and foe
For a home with love buzzing in the hive

Incense clings in the air
great clouds
stealing into dark corners
of stained wood and cold marble floors.
I watch the casket roll by
and memories take me.
Unwilling.
Here I knelt on red velvet cushions and confessed my darkest sins.
Mortal an...

Rolex


If it’s a creation, 
then science and spirit should explain each other.
Not argue. Not compete.
They should echo.
Like a wave entering water—
and the water nods.

I was born into a field,
not a house.
The floor, the couch, the...

The sound of her touch still echoes. 
Each pearl snap exploding
down my chest. 
It was a controlled demolition of my conscience. 
I screamed as my palms slapped against the drywall. 
I knew it was; We...

He was mad, all riled up.
A brother of few words, but always angry.
We two sisters were too much for him.
We did not let up because it was our goal to make a man of him.

Depression

3 o’clock in the morning…
The sounds of bed frames hitting drywall,
The sounds of Chopin and Coltrane played
With a hint of sadness in tone.
Sounds of whores and pimps arguing;
“Where is the money, you whore?!”
“I don’t have...

Steamy daylight seeps into
flesh, bone brick and drywall.
It’s late July
and a large fly is trapped
between the curtain and the hot window.

I can’t tell if it’s angry, desperate, or confused;
the buzz is intermittent, the pauses
lulls of...
