I can't be

...











I can’t be
 sharing 
 my body  
 with you  
 who’s now a shallow pool 
 though the room is offices
 I can hear them panting now
   his saliva wet every bedsheet
he’s y...

Just a Slip of Tongue

...
A runner plagued 
by endless thirst,
tried all manner of things 
to end the curse. 
A camel bag or bottle 
slowed his pace.
His yen for simple, 
lasting relief, became a race -
Relentless!

Sense Of Taste

...An explosion of flavour
Setting the taste buds alight
A tsunami of saliva 
Dampening heat in the cave.
Like the sand beds of the sea,
Deeper elements spring forth
Revealing ingredients
Enrichi...

Waiting in The Lion Dance Chinese Take Away

...
I sit on a straight back
red vinyl chair 
in a Chinese Take Away
waiting for my beef
and black bean sauce, 
pork chow mein and a serving
of special fried rice - hear 
from behind a beaded ra...

The Spitting Image

...
     I wonder why my parent said
       She’s the spitting image of grandma dead

     For in death, grandma did not look her best ~
       though she still aced the saliva test
...

Nightshift

...My breath is heavy from the clannish dusts
Inhaled at midnight when the clock strikes late
With the tone of severe darkness.
I hasten to the atmosphere of languor,
Capturing the scene of the rise...

Echoes of a Victorian Christmas

...Men in tailored suits 
and satin waistcoats,
gold watches peeking 
out of their pockets,
walked arm in arm 
with women in wide skirts ~
hooped, 
crinolined, 
elegantly sculpted.

Their tigh...

All My Friends are Dead

...After "the ritual" by Olivia Gatwood

everything about this song is red,
your wallet is brown,
the brown a burgundy
and the burgundy’s chalice
has gold to dazzle
rubies, carnelian, sa...

Slow Loris has a deadly Trick

...a slow loris has a deadly trick
she takes her time, she’s sneaky and slick
venom is held in her elbow daily
Let’s pretend she is angry with my cousin Bailey.

The slow loris mixes venom with her...

The Persistence of Memory Painting by Salvador Dali - Collaboration with Dilly Dally

...Caustic memories dissolve on my tongue
Lingering tastes of battery acid and nicotine  
Cause me to choke on putrid saliva.  
Staring at melting walls, clocks tick in unison.

40 Days

...40 Days
by LC


Sin is inside.
And inside… isn’t what it used to be.

I used to keep a fig leaf at the ready.
But one day, I ran out.
And nothing changed.
Weird.

Binary yielding too many...

Mother In-Law’s Tongue

...In this woke world I’d soon be hung
If I had had your spiteful tongue
How ironic that its wagging
Only stopped when you were gagging

And as I tried to grab the shard
Of chicken bone that was s...

Hound in a Button-Down

...There come those moments when men cease to be men
	And turn into dogs.
Dogs that bite and dogs that whine;
Dogs that lay
Panting
On top of you 
And infect you with their spilling saliva
	Dulle...

MONSTER

...
Some just can't understand. And they never will. They've never been trapped in the infernal abyss. But I've been there. I've languished in the pit, felt the darkness seep through every pore of my f...
