Pearl seeding
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Product placement is subliminal.

Coercing kids is criminal

Things you know are minimal.

Baby brains are spongy.

Bending minds is grungy.


Try shooting ducks in a barrel.
much harder to hit.
Adults who play mind **** games on kids
Need to be lobotomized. I know enough of them low lifers.

My Christmas tree is lit.
Coming full tilt.
Zoom....adrenalin.

So tired of this ****.
Coming full tilt.
Boom....adrenalin.

Hope I can defuse .
Coming all bells.
Zoom adrenalin

Scene looks pretty gory
Now I'm locked and loaded
Christmas trees... adrenalin

No ones going to win.
The night bird blazing overhead
The dying and the dead....adrenalin

sailor's chanty-shanty
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
He was a 5 foot 6 walked like.he had two wrecking
***** between his legs.
Rollling at the shoulders sleeves rolleed up

Had that common disease No-***-atall but was packin heat
Up front. Slept in a hammock even when home.
Loose fit boxers housed the snake.
Before the *** made him succumb.

Uncle James.was a man to be dealt with.

Slept in a canvas hammock even when at home.

A sailor's sailor tough to the bone.
Generous to a fault.

He was never mean to us kids, his long gone
Baby sister's kids.

He would roar not talk.
Always a strange look in his eyes when he looked at us kids.
I later realized it was pain.
And love rolled up in one.

He loved all us kids ******* all.

Battle scarred kisser. Never backed down
Never stayed down they told me later

Then **** he was gone.
Strange. The family did not make a big fuss.
Strange.

What do you do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning.

Heave ** and up she rises
Early in the morning.

Pull out the plug and wet him all over
Early in the morning..

Heave ** and up she rises
Heave ** and up she rises

Heave ** and up she rises
Early in the morning.
Uncle Jimmy. R.I.P.

Inner Sanctum
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Little brown boys in knee pants

Single file.
Marching forward in reverence and godfear.
Genuflect on left knee.

File in and sit in wooden pews.
Whispering hope resounds irreverently.
on hallowed walls

each word an affront to god.
How do I know?
The sisters told us so.

every Friday. " bless me father for I have sinned"
seven year old. " really".

Crucified idol nailed to a cross.
Kneeling on knobby knees.
conjuring sins.

Ten our fathers and ten hail marys.
neutered males living in denial.
concealed desires cloaked in a Cossack.

cloistered women.
hiding in a habit.

who is ******* whom.

I was ten and the birds and bees
cows and horses, Friends and neighbors
unpulled the wool .

Had to scratch my head a lot
in those formative years.

The Vatican?
First world power.
Inquisitor's tower.

O.K. burn me at the stake.
Heretic.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.?

No. Divinity has a window.

Father Stokle bowed his head and softly
struck his chest with his right fist, gently The left side where the heart resides.
Three times rhythmically.
Mia Culpa.

That ceremony of contrition rings loudly for

Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Perspective is a thing that I stalk....
Like The man atop the hill looking down
Like the man atop the mountain staring up.

You see,to me the immediate middle is the key
You see,the median is the road not the division.
You see,there is no existence sans harmony.
                                                        ­                  Friends, up creates down.      
                                                                ­          Left bears right.
                                                          ­                In validates out.
You see
I strive for the core.
the root.
the substance of being.                                   My father left a Tin man standing in the rain.
                                                           ­              My mother left a straw man pyromaniac.
                                                     ­                    My god left me.
I did not Leave him.
Not a true representation of my core belief..... Only for glimmering moments.

message in a bottle

I got my first note at the age of 18.
From the democratic bar.a small bottle of white cane ***.
Smoked.my first.splif the week before.

My second message washed ashore many years later.
The first message came with a P.S.
P.S.the room is going to spin til you heave **
And the floor is going to follow suit

Three years later
Peppermint schnaps.
Sweet charms ... heave ** again.



Third message washed up on the beach round midnight.
Happy new.year champ.
Pink champagne is one hell of a vamp.

There have been a few more.
Wreckless.
Trips.

I let them wash up and back with the outgoing tide
Decades have passed .

I stopped feeling rumy
Messages in bottles.

Don't give me a lift.

They just bobble and drift.
Wine is fine but liquor is quicker
Demon *** made me lose time

why do you write ?
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
You need to express something.

You like the power of words.

You don't speak your piece/peace you write it.

Seeking inner revelation

Finding another side of you

You seek aproval for something done well

What makes. Your pen move ?.

Playing peekaboo with your Id
.

All the above and more......

Purging...urging the demons to speak. To leave... to stay
Coaxing the lid from the casket and hoping the count is on leave or
Of building habitats for humanity.

Vanity.
Whatever daahlings.  Let.it be.

Fast Fred
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Freddy shuffles along to the beat of his own drum
though deep inside his soulless self, Freddy wishes he could still run
Dreams of chasing down a pop fly at the park haunt his errant dreams

Freddy is a Zombie now. No more nights out at the club.
or To 24 hour fitness for a quick grunt and sweat.Freddy is the walking dead
Life took a sudden turn.

Poor Fred.Always hungry for things he cannot have like a fresh gushing
bite from a 20 year old hottie. Cant run them down like before.
The boy has lost a step or two. and a couple of toes squish around in his shoe
oh no.
Thinks Fred.
This Undead thing bites ***
and it really wont do

Yeah.
A Mani/Pedi.

Freediver
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
So down , down ,down he goes smooth and silent
down she goes lungs fresh and clean, no bottom in sight
just he and the night. The thinning light of day.

Down they go with ease. The challenge lies ahead
the music playing slow and sweet.

Minutes are like hours to the unknowing, undisciplined , unwilling.
Baptism lies in the slow pulsing of the heart and the knowing deep within that
pleasure and pain ebbs and dances as down, down, down where under the waves to deep blue nothingness and further still as far as will allows.

How long can you linger and keep your head as you strive to return to amniotic bliss, that
place that echoes with muted sound and muffled voices that held your focus.
not in this world but of it.
unborn aquanaut

So down you go to crushing penance
to blue and cold to the limit and to what end.
to return is unwritten because the ultimate gamble
now the die is cast
to will the last ounce of life from lungs now flat.

To rise to life or remain in stasis
or so it seems
depleted logic dictates that you may well stay
below, beneath the  waves
choose life
arise.
I was blindsided by a movie called The Big blue or Le Grand Bleu. 1988.
Now a free-diving cult film. Haunting and lovely. Man And his yearning To transcend
himself.

Once upon a time
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
The first thing went through my mind when I
saw a  beautiful woman was.

1. what does she taste like. Her skin. her mouth. that spot right behind her ear. just inside her ear.
The soft curve of her neck. Her shoulders.  The  junction where ******* meet her arm. That long expanse of her soft belly. Her sweet lips as they parted to allow access. ****,salty, sweet all combined. I could see myself eating all courses slowly savoring.

2. What does she smell like. Not her shampoo or lotion or perfume or body oils. I mean her pheromones.

that deep unique essence of her.That smell at the base of her neck. under her chin her armpits,the hollows of her elbows. her belly button,her beautiful mound, that simmering potion be it ever so slight or close to overstated as I gradually slid down to Taste. To nibble at her taint and stab gently with my tongue. Her ***. That never- never land of sensual convergence.

3. What does she sound like in various modes. Her voice lilting, high pitched, throaty, nasal. he cadence of her speech. her laugh nervous, content, sing-song. early upon waking.so many undulations and coloration's.

4. What does she think like. concise open, flowing restricted, guarded,untrusting, fair, fearful,provocative, sensual, ******,cold, shallow, deep,intelligent, smart,vengeful,hurt,
carefree,calculating,ditsy,unsettled, divided, loving,caring,nurturing.

5. Is she **** or *** or a combo of both.  And what other erogenous hot spots. Which one gets her out of her head and free falling in unabashed ecstasy. Which hollow or crevasse or soft expanse is a fuse. Another ingredient to her potion. how many stimuli could I apply and keep in her sensual Calliope until a thrashing conclusion or a cessation of movement, breathing or sound that will bring her release tumbling down in near syncope.  

6. If she had on no lipstick I would imagine her *******/aereolas/*******. brown, wide, smooth , bumpy, pink,caramel thick long endless.

7. what comes through her eyes. my god her eyes. That is another universe worth of endless research and
books.

Now I don't do the subconscious speed of light hound dog amalgam.

Now I just see the woman and see the woman again.

All is still applicable but is casual thing. third nature even.
God. Thank you for your gifts.
Amen.

Lycantrophy
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Werewolf.
My cousin Floyd was one.
He would prowl the night spots
When the moon was full.
One minute. Shooting the breeze

Next he would excuse himself to use the facilities and sneak
Out the bathroom window.
Quiet as a weremouse.

They say he was smitten
And bitten by the girl next door she

Was a bit hairy but.that's no reason to
Jump to confusions.

what about the gent in sheep's clothing.

When I was a kid if you were accused of
selling wolf tickets, you had a
poker face while holding a bad hand
Or.
Feeling froggy but having no hops was another
Lycantropic adventure.

The Black guard
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
If memory serves this was a special branch of the
Militaty U.K.
Those boys came to town to play.

Weekend rabble loose on leave.
Ready set by the truckloads.
Bully mother ******* in jungle boots.

Ready to blow a few months pay
And whip anyone's *** for looking the wrong way.

Rowdy and loud.


Imperialist ******.
Long on swagger short on ****.

Eh mate got any sisters about?
Asked one blatherin putz as he stimbled about.

Every now and then one strayed from the pack
Drunk and disorderly. Four sheets to the wind.


Well... he kept close after that.

I was about 8 when I became aware that
The big loud men in kilts and fatigues were men
On a mission an ill wind.
but victims of power same as we.

God save our gracious king


God save our glorious king. God save the king

Send him victorious.
Happy and glorious.
Long to reign over us.
God save the king.

This book is well read.
The story told and retold and why? the pages are thin and stained with
sweat.Could be teardrops.

The binding is unbound broken spine.cracked in places
If falls listlessly in my palm like a lifeless quail wings undone.
never to take flight.

Listen closely as the words drift from pages tattered and fragile.

Afraid to have meaning anymore.
Astride a swayed back mule
Once was a wicked rapier.now


A blunted tool.
Crepe-like roses dried betwixt the pages.
Still......trembling hands.

Tiptoe
Gently from joy to pain as thereader rolls across
Inked fantasies long pressed to page.
Believer believes.
The deceivers.


Tall tales to small.
An open book to all who dare look.

The well thumbed pages
Of a well
Worn

cat tactics
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
I enjoyed watching our Tabby cat
Give the mouse hope turning to indifference.

Then pouncing to batter and play with the hopefull rodent.
Over and over until the end.

That was fun watcing that play out
Not Tom and Jerry by far.

A window to the feline nature.
Gave me a base respect for the
Canine in me.

Still head over heels over
***** though....call me crazy.

I Cover The Waterfront
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
The clouds roll in swollen angry
Billowing as I look out to sea.
East and west.
So.                        Retrace my path to where I was
Searching faces ,skimming along .traces of you to be found in old familiar.places. the hilltops and dives.

Up alley.down gutter
Out to porttals and back again.
The sun is setting now.
Keep the lights burning day and night. To light you back to me.

I cover the waterfront in hopes of finding me.

I was once and still hope to be.
The magic man.with the midas touch. The magic man
Has walked away and now there is only me.

So I. Cover the airways. Depots. Stops and flops.

Seedy and the Ritz.

I cover the waterfront.
I scan the horizon.
I sweep the sky.

I cover the waterfront in hopes that I sail by.

Todo momento de mi vida
Yo pienso en timas cada dia

Querida.
No me sanado bien la herida.

Te extrano yo lloro toda dia.

That I have ever heard. Sung by Juan Gabriel and others.
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Dear Miss Harris.
this letter is to inform you that your position in the constaltions
Is fixed and never to fade.

My dearest Eleanor.
It would be misleading if I told you that for me, it was love
                                         at first sight but you have grown on me with
                                             The passage of time.
Over the years I have come to understand what the fuss was alll about.
As me myself and I sat alone in my solitude.
I have grown to love what a little moonlight can do as I cried for you.


                                         Don't explain. Now I know that you've changed


                                         Like autumn in new york and yesterdays witout your love have made me miss you even more now as I cover the waterfront in search of my love.

You my love are. travelin light crowned with a white carnation forever

strolling through my memories.
                                          Maybe we will meet again on some other
                                          Spring.some fine and mellow sunlit morning.
                                          Till then dear,good morning heartache is the
                                          Song that I sing as I sit in my solitude.

Hush now my heart. Don't explian. What is there to gain.
All my thoughts are of you for I am completly yours.
You are my joy and pain so don't explain.

Right or wrong don't matter,when you are with me sweet.

The pointed pain
Sad refrain. Good morning heartache.
Stop haunting me love.can't. Shake you no how

The welcome sting that your love will bring
Your arm so bruised and stained.
Repulsed me at first. The wounded bird
Does sing a lovely song.
It took me so long to
Feel your pain lady.
But you are now and ......... forever in my vein
And will remain.

Trick
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Honey you thought leaving me would do the trick
But just before you did I pulled the house down brick by brick.
Salted love away in time to smile when you walked out.
See.

We got in on a ***** trick and you were the magician
Heedless,heartless. Fire and ice.

Could not listen to good advice. Me I slowly dropped
My guard. My cautious facade.
And let the tide.

I gave all, but same old song . You are right
Everyone. Else wrong
Tricky you. Goody two shoes
Put on your blue shoes and skipped

Next stop. What.
But just so thou knoweth

Your stuff is thinner
Your game is slipping
Your slip is showing
And your not knowing. Made it easy

Brick by brick. Stone by stone
I paved a path to see you gone.
Tricky you.
I don't really mind not missing you.
Adeau.

In my solitude I watch the birds fly by. Up high.
I count the twinkling stars one by one.
And wait for break of day.

In my solitude. I hear the clock march on the wall
And I don't miss you at all mot I.

You left without goodbye this time.your coat
Still hanging on the wall you never call.
Your favorite.chair sits in the corner
Asking me every day.

Why did he go away and is he gone to stay.

In my solitude.my heart becomes.undone
Yes darling you are the only one
For me until you. Set me free.
Goodbye my heart
Goodbye my world
Goodbye
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

The Keeper ( skyfall )
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Standing on the paraapet's wall pullling
At the sky

Arms stretched to the limit .reaching in vain
The keeper seems to pray for rain but the fervent prayer
He envokes. Pulling down the stars and soon to come

Skyfall.
                              Nightime comes on velvet wings
Summoning the other things.
That haunt our dreams
They shun the suns carress.

Deep within the castle's keep
Things that do not sleep huddle and moan
Hell's
'torment.
Gnawing at their *****.

They and all clasp.fleshless palms tight
And lament through each night
To pull the chains begin the rain
Bring about

Skyfall.

Battlements worn and washed in crimson
Centuries old spirits now scream out
From wordless mouth.
Desires unheard..no words can bring about

Skyfall.

From steeple to walk-walk
To rancid mote.
To ironed gape.
To dungeon deep.
Where death was sleep.

North and south within the keep.
Spirits weep.
They cry out for
S

In the moment
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
When I was driven to compete and test my mettle
I learned a word.
The old man withe the gravely growl. A wise and bedreggled owl.
His eyes bored in as he did impart. The art.
The beauty. You gotta be clutch son.you gotta deliver.


      Clutch.
A state of zen.
Conquer the moment
Again and again.
Jockspeak I know BUT analagous to living.

Condensed.The now is all we truely have.
Runners high in the blink of an eye.
Pure pleasure to live the moment.

Unbridled.
Making love. *******.*******. you pick.
For me relaxed concentration. A zen state.
Pure harmony? That special union. A once a lifetime.

Once. And only once.
Clutch happenstance.
Same,same.

Grinding gears? Can't mesh.
Slack tide....suspension. joy or pain?


I learned it became addicted to it
Sheer confidence that I will overconquer
The moment.
Then I lost it and came crashing down.
I was human after all.
But such is the human design.

Soar high and long.
Ignore the siren song.
The moment is all there is.

Sassyseduced
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Such dreams you inspire in hours past the witching hour
All visions of you in tender repose
Seductress is an assumption by ribbons that flow from your pen
Sassy be sassy again and again.
Yesterday's lass is not today's sas.
Sensual seeker
Expressing sincere exchange of the word.
Dancing to a different drum as of our ilk do
Casting spells and weaving dreams. I can push my mind through
Entering sassydom
Does this portrait of sassy do justice to you ?
Seduction deduction.
Another prompt to create. Can't feel my mo jo today.

Brass faced liar
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Unrepentant with a hole in her soul
The brass faced liar has steely control
Nothing fazez her. no fib was too big or small. Man this girl was a smooth criminal and a really close acquaintance

She would give a polygraph the shakes
and it's our little secret. umm, Mom and dad know.
family secret.

I reversed engineered the brass faced liar
and all the tumblers clicked.

The truth to her is like Kryptonite to Superman.
I dropped a small stone down her throat one day and counted to ten
before it hit bottom with a far away clunk..

Faceof brass ,heart of stone.animal rescuer
Liar to the bone. Manipulates children poor self esteem
Brass faced liar isn't what she seems.

Out.  To impress now.finally starting to dress now
Drawing flys like rotten meat.

Wicked comes in all shapes and sizes
Turn back the covers,know what your surprize is ?.

A zombie in a guilded mask.
Long dead and putrid..a walking talking husk.

Lies pour out of her mouth like green blowflies
And crawl back in under her disguise.
To fester.
Brass face jester

Foot fungus and fermentation.
Easy yeast.**** down your leg for a bouquet.

Throw a monkey wrench in the cogs
Rage against the machine.

I'm mad as hell and I'm not taking it anymore.

Cause (picked from word)
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Cause and effect made him shambling wreck

Cause too many late lights and too many in fights was the cause.

Just be. Cause it is doable don't mean you should do it

And a just cause is not always your cause.

Consequencies will cause you to blink
Double think when the right cause
Comes.along. cause
You paused. Double think.

Will take you to the brink

When instinct gets paused cause too many
Effects have caused you to balk.

Cause sometimes discretion is the better part.cause
Livve to fight another day caused neville chamberlaan
To dither while Poland burned. Why ?

Causes and pauses are like
Opaque obstructions.


But. That's what makes the wold go round
The world go round the world go round.

Causes make the world go round
It makes the world go round.

Seize the moment.

Life on the REZ.
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
My good friend spotted fox came down to the depot to
Pick me up. His 1960 ford fair lane was throwing oil.

Fox was long in his oil with a 40 oz malt in his left hand below
eye level.
                  
                        Two empties of fortified clinked melodically on the floor
                        I swear the music sounded like go get some more.

                                                     Fox goes " Kimo sabe
                                                     Welcome to The knee".

2.9
Hard a starboard. Lash.yourselves down boys
Were coming about to fire broadside.
All hands.

A rag tag crew.on
Hardtack and tea going about business , down to the sea.
David Jones's

Beyond the crows nest.
Ship Ahoy.
The yardarm as pendulum and there.

Ahab in his element.
Fathoms deep.
forward to world's end

Bring up the long glass. sea spray and salty breezes
Sun weathered skin, looking for world's end
around the bend in the horizon

It ends and falls away
the rest to the imagining
2.9 miles out.The deep blue
gives way to the churning horizon.
2.9 miles to world's end.

3 sheets to the wind or
To Poseidon's palace.
My uncle  was a merchant ****** from the age of 16 until he was presumed Lost at sea
2.9 or Poseidon's . Or some remote corner of the world off the horizon.

Buck
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
A savage came to a small lagoon on a pale moonlight night.

He spied himself on the shimmering skin of water.
There stood a man. a human being no less
WakanTanka had shaped him in his palm and set him on the land.

The savage in his nakedness ,
strong and lean knew his time was now at hand.

The savage knelt and kissed the earth
Gathered sand and. Dirt. Gazing into velvet eternal
The great Oso. The bear beckoned him to come forward.

The savage cast the earh to the wafting breezes his destiny now assured.
All that was would again be. Lamented song as he moved along the pathway. Chanted his greeting to the great buffalo Tanka.

My time to abide with you is upon me.
Be with me on my journey .

Stepping into nothingness.
Fallling up to forever.

The circle.
Completed.

Bright lights big city
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Rode the dog. From podunk to new.york

My introdutory mugging was all that I dreamed of and more.

32 stitches and a mild concussion

Bright lites big city goin to my head.

Got a job running #s and a rap sheet too


What's a guy going to handle when his rent is due


Bright lights big city going to my head
I don't care cause you don't. Care
Gary Clark. Nuff respect.

on a lighter note
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Dad went down to the corner store
For smokes.
He caught the first thing smoking out of the vicinity.

Left his old steel lighter sitting on the chair
Still stting there
Faithfull as a tick hound.

Guess he could see his options shrinking
So I figure that **** got pop to thinking..

Pop musta rolled snake eyes and went west with the

Urge by the way that the crow flys.

All that I know is he's ashole and elbows
A track star in training.no grass under his feet.

Dad you are a gent and a scholar.
And if your ever in town just give me a hollar. NOT.

sensuous
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Tell me love,what I must do.
I know the landscape in essnce
I am no pretender.

Inspiration then perspiration
A torrid sweat as the tempo.  Rises BUT...
Allow me to speak your
name in fervent whisper
Again and again.

Permit me to traverse your mind
As your sensuous body follows.


I am there. Now here now all places at once



Seeking. Seeking
The small of your back
I am listening as your breathing hastens then slacks.

Feeling as your body shudders. Reaches and entwines.
Allow me access ever so gently.

Tasting. Savouring the hollows and curves
The recesses. The tactile mounds the essense of you.
Dam this poem is making my hands shake.

We are molded skin to skin now. A rythym.
Hot . A dance. Stay with me darling this is nirvana.
Where do I end and you begin.

One.
I feel your desire your wanting to peak.but slow now soft now
The moment awaits still. We will batter the gates stil and come rushing
To ******. As one. Stay. Slow .soft.

Here and now my darling. Hold tight as we soar my love
Over the falls we go to wash in a tide of release.
Yes. Yes.
We are there.

windows of regret
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Every now and then I see her face
Eyes a carmel caress just like before.
Never been in that way before or since.

I have looked in many faces, nothing
Made me ache and melt.

I could look into her eyes endlessly
I swear, and lose myself .
I wonder if she knew

I was afraid to say
On the chance that it woud change.

When she spoke I hungered for her eyes
When she laughed I hungered for her eyes.
They so mezmerized. I hungered for that too.

Those eyes are gone and closed
I last saw them crying.
She turned and walked away.

What a fool
What a fool in youth.

In dreams I see them slowly dying
Shuttered windows.

The dreams they left me.
Many years have past.
I know my slice of hell exist
In living out my days to miss
Those eyes will never hold me near

Will never be again
Never be my friend
Never hold me.close.
And carress.

My purgatory burns
Softly and becons.
True story.

lyrics
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
I sure didn't see this coming
You weren't even on my mind.

I sure would have stepped to the side
And missed one heck of a ride.
Hell baby, you ain't my style


Living dolls break easy when
I hold them close to me.
Bad juju baby
Black cats line up

Mirrors laugh and jump of the wall
Cause lover
You ain't my style

You pulled my number from the bingo hopper
Lined and hooked me good an propper
Thank you darlin cause you just wasn't my sttyle.

Don't even know when I stoped wiggllin
Trying to spit your hook

Cause darlin you are my style
Can't stop cheezin and cooing

Don't even know what I'm doin
My baby. My honey
My better than money
Oh baby you
Just my style.

Olive Branches
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Once he was there upon the crest looking down upon the
masses,Moses lifted his staff. The words flowed from afar
and rested on on his tongue then lifted to join the air.

He spoke once more still the utterance seemed strange.
Not of his making.

Once he was there upon the mountain. The stars shone in his eye.
The cool desert air whispeing past the age of ages that "all is but a
Twinkling and soon past. So.

Standing in the moment.
                                     Wizened
                                     By fire.
                                     Risen past flesh.
                                     Knowing full well
                                                 That no answer would suffice
               

                                        ­                    Knowing bones

Would turn to dust
And still day would follow night
And night day.
Knowing with a certainty


That he knew

Nothing.
Past the moment.

mendacious
Geno Cattouse Jun 2013
Piercing lies behind soulfull eyes.
The likes I have never seen.
What contortions made you. Twist reality
At the root.

An absence of self.
I assume.
No core of substance to
Fix or cure.

Mendacity
Menterosa....... no hay una alma.
