BODILESS

bold angels
block and shape
their lips eclipse
inane words cloud
tangle entwined

pristine alphabets
peroxide prose
silver currents
of the unheard

gold…
goldfish
goldring
goldthing

parades of perfect peace

"You got a memory for faces, sugar?" How she stares! 
"I think so, yes." Her smile splits like the crack of doom. 
Peroxide pales her improbable pile. That beehive hair's 
like something Boris Karloff might exhume. 
"That's kinda fortunate, y'see, becuz there's
no freakin' mirror in your room."...

Sometimes,
a guy just wants a peroxide blonds
with painted ruby red lips.
Something fake and pretty
sexy would help also.

He said this leaning on the counter
with his elbows
while ogling the barmaid.

I looked into my foaming beer
recalling all the authentic, lovely,
unpainted women I had known
and said:

Yea....

Buzzing around the sun
Green glistening with skin
As I finger-poke for fun
And bleed open my sin

Brother runs out from the shouts
Pouring peroxide on the prick
While in the mirror I see the doubts
Band-aid wrapping round to stick.

Memory fades from there
As hallways slip into darkness
The mind a wandering hare
The heart the harrowing lightness....

Reply not to a womans punch:
Bruises you won’t find the following dawn.
You rather her ask to surrender her lunch
For your gorgeous garment she has torn….

And you neither down go
After a woman’s ill-wishing blow
For you can still her show
You  can in her company flow
And her punches, vanishing pains after noon;
Wounds hydrogen peroxide dispatch soon....

Coughing and sputtering...
The cold night air hurts my lungs...
I inhale my cigarette and Google the freezing point of peroxide... 
My days have turned to mundane madness...
My nights blurr past like a speeding train...
I dream of breakfast even though it's 9 at night and I'm awake...
I count my nickels and dimes in hope of a biscuit in the morning...
Life is just a long hospice stay...
Merry Christmas...

going back to my pillow
not the ads on TV
I have no pain no gain

just a siesta waiting for fresh direct
delivery a slice of pizzas
and tapenade on toast

so erect for my age
will use the olive oil
and scratch my back

very basic just talk their language
and they will bring the oil
to share around the bloke

brushing my teeth a conundrum
ratatat the tuba for a parade
of mint and hydro peroxide...

4 x 4

There you are driving ahead of me again
 five foot five in your four by four.
Peroxide blonde transporter of empty baby seats
Mobile phone to your ear transmitting
More nonsensical extrusion from a shallow mind

Roundabout ahead, wrong lane, who cares!
Let’s double park at the corner shop
Check the rearview mirror, yes makeup ok
Don’t forget the hazard lights of excused abandonment
Like a disco roadblock...

Peroxide blonde and covered in petals,
Bleach kills flowers - She’s less softener than metal
A body rooted in pride, trying to run, Jackal and hide. 
There’s some double entendres, catch them if you can,
There’s something about her, try to find it, you’ll both be damned. 
To Cinderella she’s her own step sister,
Crying out for love, afraid of those who’d listen.
Just someone out there longing for a cause in existence,
Just someone out there, longing for a reason to stay persistent...
