I read a lot of Bukowski.
Critics applaud him
for being raw.
So I wrote
a story about
a poet who
“fucked”
a prostitute
and sent it out
to trendy litereary magazines
(3 months ago)
with minimal reception.
I suppose there are
some situations too

I enjoy that awkward
dance
two humans perform
when they collide
on the concrete stage
of a sidewalk.
They shift to the right
and shift to the left
while their cheeks turn into
pomegranates.
God I love that awkward
dance
that two beautiful humans

Look at me getting delivered at the hospital
That’s me just sitting on my bike because I couldn’t pedal
There goes my prom and my sweet sixteen party
That’s me in college acting drunk and rowdy

Set in the shade of swaying pine
Where the morning sunshine glistens in the dew
There’s a family round the table
Two kids you and I
It’s a lovely dream if only it were true.
But the farmhouse burnt down last summer
And the crops have failed again

If you’re looking for a sign
of whether you’re on
the right path
or making
the proper decision
look for a rainbow
or a clover of four leaves.

where I am what I've chosen and all my tabs are kept.
A gaudy costume I wear and polished gadgets in my sight
awake early to hear the sparrow's song no longer am I a creature of the night.
A career a life a man

Lady Jane
Lady Jane has another pearl waiting for me.
'Focus your mind ' she says 'and I will teach you to believe.'
Trust is what I seek ' I screamed; laughing deep inside.
'Lady Jane my pearl please I know all the places you hide.'
'Your pearl why?'

lips forming around words
but like a silent film you don't hear a thing
because everyone knows
that the only permanent things are the ones
we build we scribe with our hands
and the only way a voice really matters
is if it's disembodied from the man

Strolling beneath the fiery willows
a shattered smile a broken heart.
Her tears fall like broken glass.
A plastic knife a dripping dart.
-
And there you sit
dumbfounded and smoldering
your eyes running from the smoke.

They won’t get far the flames are fast.
A startled cough a hurried choke.

There are pen marks on my bed.
Left there after all the words from my head were said...
Satisfaction brought slumber and my pen
