************

There is an image

Working to free my mind

From violent dawns

It probes at the backs of my eyes

It tells me I am prostituting myself

Here in my bedroom

In incestuous union with myself

I hallucinate and fantasise about

Doctors sons, butchers boys

Teenage thieves, deserters

Drug pushers, scandalous rent boys

Vagrants, pimps, prostitutes

And silk lingerie and don't care.

I sit destitute of thought

An insonce dissonance of macabre music

Playing out melodies of an image in my mind
