Long Electrics Poems

not in the heart again

My second was in a closet, 20...

Wheels of confusion astride my time
Now knowing my tomorrow's being

Absorbing it's warmth as...

just look at Ed slaving away sorting things.

Drawn down from blacken purple skies
Burst of brilliants, winter blast snow blind
Upon a midnight electrics static,
you came gently clanging
Deep into that darkness changing, snow...

Pictures of beaches and palm trees fill 
me with blue stasis. I can not see

Grade four, 6 stitches...

All walls were holes full of light,
So I moved into town to another small place,
Where the walls could seal airtight.

Then boxing day came in the summer of sun,...

(plays the peacemaker), 
hauls the most gear all
over the ****ing
place, been taking
her/his rage out on the

gun to her/his head
