Methedrine Poems

To Ramesses In Poseidon Depths Lie

Metal, blood, and mascara 

Half sunk a shattered visage lies,
A wrinkled lip, a sneer of cold command,
Of boundless and bare
Along the level, sands stretch far away.
the imagery of night, snow, virginity, 
lipstick on cigarettes, 
cars trapped in the snow, 
dingy white sheets, and the chosen few ….
I still drink cider and black
Metal and blood and mascara
Of sackcloth and ashes
Black eyelashes 
Blood and hot metal  
Half sunk a shattered visage lies,
The ruins of a half-god
Eyes stare wide all along the sands
In a White House on a foreign shore.
Metal, mascara, and methedrine
A half shattered visage die
A wrinkled lip, a sneer of teeth 
and leering eyes 
Of boundless bare thighs
a hollow sun flares 
Along the level,
as the sands stretch far away.

Ode to Ramesses in Poseidon depths lie…
