I'm gonna be a ****** mountain ranger
My friends will be the baers and trees
Duke Thompson Apr 2015
'You withhold your love'
I'd rather be alone on my bathroom rug
With some foil and a 40

'I'm starving and alone,
Filled with nothing but drugs.'
Want to tell her she's too old for this

But I don't, not in my selfish self-interest
Whole world is an arsenic cesspool ghetto
People are selfish and so am I
Glad I use in solitude (die quicker)

Walk on the rocks with me
And I'll tell you
Secret inadequacies
By the lake shore
It's spring and crimson
Vermilion tendrils

I sip dry cider
I fill a tin hip flask
Drink to the last
Over too fast
Leaving girls
Less naive
Than my drunk ***
Contemplating self-destruction

Red
Brittle smile
Brittle eyes
Blunt bone saw
Sawing
Hungry red flesh
******* pinkerton

HanShan said
'Just the other day
A demon became a Bodhisattva.'
Gives me hope
Now I go too
Find my mountain
Desolation Peak
Write my own poems
On bamboo
And rock
See HanShan, a Chinese poet

All flash
No substance
Dilettante

Wake up
Cold sweat
'That dream again honey?'
Pillowtalk spectre
Rolls over
