Short Scalpels Poems

A red sunset kindles icicle’s
into bright dripping scalpels.

Light decamps and flares,
impressions drift.
Shadows mime shadows.
The flicker of melting flames.

A hanging man;
his silhouette flex’s,
head lolling, arms stretching
in the long reach of evening.

Death twists
flames smolder then set.
Heels keep turning.
A tree sleeps....

A blood red sunset kindles icicle’s
into dripping scalpels.
As the light decamps and flares,
flickering impressions drift.
Shadows mime shadows.

There is a shape, a hanging man
imprinted on a tree trunk.

The silhouette flex’s,
head lolling, arms stretching 
in the long reach of evening.

Ice crystals flame
only to die 
under the heels of darkness. 

I shudder, 
as my noose twists in a night wind....

choreography by de sade
lurid in glass cages
masturbating strobe lit neon
orbit decaying speed.

wholesale supplication
self abusing gratification
starving heroin chic
naked jazz gloss pages

clinical execution
seductive as scalpels
warm as polar ice floes
passionate as styrofoam

loveless bloodless corpses
cold animated fever
acid battery jerks
common denominator appeal

promises to be broken
dreams exsanguinated
lives to be killed
flesh...be...mine...
