The Speaker of the House

Saying to them, I know that you wish to sell unto myself 
Your chrysalis cures modern day vaccines maypole moments 
Amid white diamonds and mascara, visions ? But, I really hate sin so
Pawn it to one another is what I thought in recycled to speak yet 
Let the weeds be and write it in a bill to push unto these networks ? Tossing 
My cigarette upon the ground left downing a beer as I smiled then added.... 
Thanks for the promotion; while I pulled up my sleeve and mainlined their 
malaria.

And I said to them, I know that you wish to sell unto myself your chrysalis cures

Modern day vaccines maypole moments in white diamonds and mascara....

Visions; but I really hate sin so pawn it to one another is what I thought in recycled

To say yet let the weeds be and write it in a bill to push unto these networks?!

Tossing my cigarette upon the ground and downing my beer as I smiled then added

Thanks for the promotion; as I pulled up my sleeve and mainlined their malaria....

....“The Speaker of The House” ~

Unforgiven

Set on a dissertation painted ebony
With the cancellation brushstrokes of despair;
Night in her starless petticoats
Curtsied on teraformed life
Repeating itself in stammered facsimiles.

Glazed by whiskey priest sermons
Slurred and deformed in gin-joint churches,
The blood of Christ mainlined the pulpit,
Seemed to rush hour in the veins
Draping red mist on the dream.

A far better thing never done,
Sacrificed caring and chain-sawed heart,
Grit of numb teeth against the hurt,
Ultimate reason for staying expired
And turned to dust-blown vacancy.

On the empty stoop with glitching lungs,
Sagged and wept a hitching song
Of desolate love in wasteland parameters
Impeached and curtailed by feeling too much,
Wept a song of the unforgiven.

Would she ever acknowledge his true blood,
How much the bankrupt soul aspired
To proffer in worship of her persona?
Unlikely, so in the hanging head of sundown
Wept a song of the unforgiven.
