Backhand
"Backhand"

inside out, cut open
like a tennis ball
I used to beat backhand
along with the racket
hard against the garage wall
To make sense of it all
as a child, the grief stolen
all too swiftly and replaced...

UtopiaOur lives and our time
Fired useless
Into the air
Toy cap gun shots
Those winter palaces unstormed
No tax offices ransacked
Where is utopia I asked
And no-one knew
They looked at me with pity
As if I still talked
To an imaginary friend
At...

Split Schizoid Mission
split schizoid mission
Lifting the mind
like a sword
counting poets
losing self in
unsettled love
and mysteries
plucked off the shelf
all the Berlin walls
come tumbling down
words like dice
shaken and thrown
the electric
black dogs barking

Gospels
"Gospels"
Gospels are lost on a god
words are never hidden
under rocks
unturned stones
for the hiding
Poets caress swords
a legend firm in their hearts
undrawn they hold it out
as victor for witness
and target, practice
to fall on love
brutally...

to speak the words, God Bless,

Bespeaking the fear,

I´m here to bring you
What you don´t need
Another heartfelt poem
Another heartsick plea
Worth less than
Chewed gum
America I’m tapping
At your window
At 3 am
With a bag full of
Sour wine
And a shopping list
Of grievances
America wake up
It´s me and I...

Through the Vicious Eyes of Love
"Through the Vicious Eyes of Love"
All is fair
in love and war

as saints,
mothers

the course of whore
to feel torn in two
journeying
through gates
that open
unleashed pain -
then, at...
