Poems
May 2017
30. Apocalypse; Degenerates
Sludge black driveways
holding hazardous mindsets.
Back of his head is made of
white canvas; red strap; yum-yum.
You can see body in the window.
Cut like a Valley Girl diamond.
Brown ***** hair, faint.
Narrow shoulders, pointed.
Brows arch like arrowhead;
floating above callous constellations.
Snarls of smoke from his cig;
dragging filter like a conscience.
He studies her while she studies
how life looks around her neck.
Closer to midnight, says Darling.
Gotta let her live in a dream-mo.
Inside the piggy bank, gold looks
like memories 'round her nape.
Peeking into the mirror's reflect,
mouthing her name, twirling hips.
What a time to be a star; stable
inside the crown of debris.
Completely secure in nakedness,
a streak of light swims closer.
Black bear fur, harboring glittery
fleas; her eyes look out and up.
It is as close as anyone ever tried.
Non-stop destruction, seductive.
Darling says, look at her look.
He takes a picture with his phone.
**** beauty, ******* to
the assertiveness of annihilation.
Looking at the picture, he curses
himself for not upgrading.
A fire overflows, as she has
one hand on her stomach and
another on her purse.
