Bored as hell

I wish I had a lover

in this dire time of need

To stop me

from hating me

To prevent me

from condemning me

To halt me

from mutilating me

Where are you?

Mon amant

I await you patiently

My heart cries out in frustration

I lack the

Who am I?
The man who will fly
Stare the eagle in his eye
Take the air's breath
Kill the master of death
And remove the defaced
From birth I have been placed
As the destroyer of these kings
I soar on broken wings
Can you feel the rain?
The sorrow the pain
Fire overcomin

Flocks of suns floating with southern swans

On rivers flowing in dissolving directions

Slow and warm fast and cold swirling and sifting

Some rivers flow under skies

He watches you

when you're not looking

Apollo's muse

Calliope's child

His Father is the Sun

His Mother--the Moon

Always holding out

He wants it soon

Tangible to the finger's touch

He talks to you

when you're not talking

He chases you

when you're not following

Orpheus knows

the best is yet to come

Touch me.

You.

Take my hips! Take my shoulders! Take my voice!

Run through me.

Over the static of
brushing my teeth I
hear her chanting
to her cell.

“Hi this is Brittany. Please leave a message.”

She deletes and records again.

“Hi this is Brittany. Please leave a message.”

It sounds the same to me but she tries
again again
with just little

you half-wake
as morning’s light licks your eyelids.
“i killed the monster ” you say.
“i killed the monster.”

fully awake you explain your dream—
the monster chasing you—
its bleeding eyes—
fleeing up the fire escape—
it follows—
you warn it—
you say “i don’t want to hurt you!”—
it comes—

Tormented by hubrists

object-sexuals in sight

soulless psyches

born festering in factory lines

human-like machines embedded with multiplying adding subtracting dividing

beautiful androids

devoid of emotion

incapable of discerning

a culture of rapidity lunacy and implosion

conforming to one point of view

internally corroding and stolid

Tell me what is the

In his head one can hear:
"Me! Me! Me!"
Alternates need never apply
His identity is important--though vastly impertinent--
Superior to the inferiors that flock to worship him as
He gazes into the pool
Admiring his own reflection whilst
calling to his followers--who he pities
for their ugliness--he alone he thinks wisest
On the

Hazard!

Proclaims the electrical orange.

Stretched taut.

The chords begging to be pulled back

And slapped into one another.

Like her thighs used to do.

Into her flesh.

The alarming orange escalates into a bitter desperate red...

Scratched into an angry sunset.

Fingernail hieroglyphics encrypt her neck

As a last attempt for a
