to sleep free, undefered by calamity/
To leave earth without hesitant pride/

A father watches as his infant sleeps/
he prays to god, ” leave him for...

Cadaver Elegy
They handed me the scalpel like a crown-
Queenship of the pail and prostrate.
I ascended my throne of sterile steel,
The body laid bare, my unwilling courtier.
Death they said was merely a textbook.
I nodded, pencil...

The Darkroom
Is it not enough that you’ve hung me beside
myself from your fraying rope - tendered by
graying wooden clips with rubber fingers?
Must we really soak on dry until we are sepia
toned under-developed photographs, left on...

Castle Breach
Around this precious pulse
there is a moat
It has a raised drawbridge
of desires denied —
Wouldn’t emotions,
they be crave carved from the
mahogany variety
Splintered thoughts lowers with romantic apprehension,

Rampart words, passion unspoken
Telltale sigh sign, mood...

Slug Aviator
Crimson baron,
the scarlet fumes from your tale pipe

with steel blue dye

brings a barrel of spitfire pain
As you hide in the cadaver clouds,
waiting to vulture dive...

Burned Twice
Formaldehyde pride
preserved inside a dead body
of morality compromise
Living a lie
is a ceremonial breathing exercise
Of all the bridges you burned,
cremation was the last choice wrong turn
Afraid to be buried below
with the worms,
Your remains stayed above...

Anesthetization Of Pickles
It smells like pickles green in Autumn
Aromas arise like Frankenstein in formaldehyde
Tubular, somewhat spiny, objects plump
Ready to be plucked at midnight
Be not pickled in perpetuity
Be not afraid of the moon in gravity
Be not drowned in...

Frozen stiff in warping rifts of time,

Yellow
“Yellow”
I pump the liquid
soap in the bathroom
How Sickeningly sweet it is
and although now it’s gone
I will carry it with me
as I drift off…..

Plastic flowers everywhere,
windows shut tight
It lays like...

His Right Leg
A ticket pinned to the thigh reserves it,
the whole cadaver is parceled off - of course.

Battle Rap
Let’s take this outside
Your turn to be objectified
Necktied offside and brutified
Come step outside
Where you can no longer hide
Now you and me can collide
You’re worse than godzilla’s bride
Torpefied and vilified
Uglified, mean and evil-eyed
Always snide and undignified
Ringside,...

Sex and Drugs
Upholstered flesh is wetted with a single stroke
Thumbs clasp and rotate
Ribs click with an enhanced inhalation
Consequences of a little death
Tissues consume bloat
Drain and wither
Free radicals creep into closed eyes
Flecks are swept like stars of dust

What have you stolen?
What tic, what response from me
did you palm and put in your pocket?
What have you stolen?
Did you collect the bits of paper you tore off
