"grafts" poems
A duality of elan vital, two people Spectres of emotion Intertwined by a fuselage of bruised skin & tendon Tissues become orbital, gushing towards grafts Helixes of snot, **** and lymph Boy & girl As they embrace the animating principle and eachother, they fuse A one piece tapestry adorned seamless with no hem, beginning or end Always was, always is Patiently turning to liquid as their being unzips Lying figures of runny makeup and genetic ***** Quintessence, a texture of synaptic potential Corpus Callosum An entirety of self, lost in imbued disintegration Theory of mind, looped & bound I will water the thought Roots envisaged in dystopian amygdala Piercing data packets with a frost-like intensity Forgetting our obsolescence moments ago A neuron dipped in nylon Theta waves and the non-euclidean crux of dissociation Ghosts in the machine, your macro god The sympathies of fractional distillation Digitised/assimilated unto the nanosphere Cold hands and brass backs galvanised in oscillated tears Commodified, sold out and bought Stretching, from purple, white and black slowly losing its colour, amorphous in shape brushed across a smudge, ambiguously chromatic Monetised flesh god An eternity bathed in starlight Cutting an incision in the sky to allow entropy Divided dimensions of energy Fleeting and intangible No longer a delirium of seperation All semantics become light As a rusted vehicle passes overhead And all the worlds questions fade out of existence Flutters of red tape and foregone growth of practice Sinew flayed, integrated towards information Our minds shared In circuits and resistors Photons and electrons We radiate

I Our ****** dreams, all seedless in the light, Of light and love the tempers of the heart, Whack their boys' limbs, And, winding-footed in their shawl and sheet, Groom the dark brides, the widows of the night Fold in their arms. The shades of girls, all flavoured from their shrouds, When sunlight goes are sundered from the worm, The bones of men, the broken in their beds, By midnight pulleys that unhouse the tomb. II In this our age the gunman and his moll Two one-dimensional ghosts, love on a reel, Strange to our solid eye, And speak their midnight nothings as they swell; When cameras shut they hurry to their hole down in the yard of day. They dance between their arclamps and our skull, Impose their shots, showing the nights away; We watch the show of shadows kiss or **** Flavoured of celluloid give love the lie. III Which is the world? Of our two sleepings, which Shall fall awake when cures and their itch Raise up this red-eyed earth? Pack off the shapes of daylight and their starch, The sunny gentlemen, the Welshing rich, Or drive the night-geared forth. The photograph is married to the eye, Grafts on its bride one-sided skins of truth; The dream has ****** the sleeper of his faith That shrouded men might marrow as they fly. IV This is the world; the lying likeness of Our strips of stuff that tatter as we move Loving and being loth; The dream that kicks the buried from their sack And lets their trash be honoured as the quick. This is the world. Have faith. For we shall be a shouter like the **** Blowing the old dead back; our shots shall smack The image from the plates; And we shall be fit fellows for a life, And who remains shall flower as they love, Praise to our faring hearts.

People held hostage, always living in fear, The barrel of a weapon, is always near. Riding the train, a blood curdling scream, A deafening noise, and a bright light beam. A violent shock wave tears open your flesh, The lucky ones, receive skin grafts with mesh. Your arm torn off, artery bleeding is profuse, A dying thought is, what was the use? What was the purpose, to **** all these people? In the name of Allah, perched on a mosque steeple. Radical extremists don't care about life, By murdering people they increase human strife. Wasting resources, bringing the Earth gloom, Look at faces on a plane, many filled with doom. The last thirty five years I don't understand, Middle Eastern countries, together they band. Bringing terror and hatred towards cultures of the west, We accept the need to feel your ways are the best. Pray all you like, cover up a women's face, Stop trying to change America's philosophy and place. Once the oil is gone, and the land again bare, Back to living in tents, flowing robes you will wear. Your tactics are old, soon you may feel, The burning of skin, this inferno is real. A nuclear explosion will end years of frustration, No longer putting up with terrorists indignation. Revolutions reveal, the world ending in flame, Enough with this nonsense, put an end to this game! Visit poemsbypaul.com

your heart pumps kerosene to your matchstick veins, & maybe i imagined things, but i remember your eyes as ember rings & i can't wipe my memory clean of the dingy debris-- the delicacies of your legs & knees-- this fire's not extinguishing!! those ashes you disguise as eyelids won't keep me from the iris i know i'll find inside them & i'll skim past your skin grafts to your smoke-smothered stomach then plummet to your flame-engraved pancreas ((scarred from swallowed promises)). these propane x-rays can't scan the barcodes on the charcoals that the holes in your heart hold

King come down The King come down There's not a single frown As the King come down. The people run just like they die: With a sudden silence And a cease of non-existent existence That ends the accepted fiction. King come down The King come down Not a single frown Oh, the King come down! Nine, nine, nine Two, four, zero Two and eight Pause. Wait. Ignore the grafts. Don't speak or make sound. Ignore the grafts. The King come down. King come down The King come down Your people do not frown THE KING COME DOWN.

The King Come Down
He lives in his farm house by the hills, his quiet life of contentment, seeking, creating, discovering; Oh he’s a scientist, and he grafts his poem trees; Beautiful plumes do they grow for flowers, which fly out eastward every morning; Well now he does, the sweet fruit of these: eat poems to live? Silencing those who asked him once. Oh and some of the plants can talk: beyond our hearing, ultrasound. Penetrating objects our eyes otherwise. see not: stones; metals; oh don’t we carry venoms of hatred in metal tubes of veins crossing our hearts, conveying darkness across the seas? These poem trees, talking, can see through. And tell, when some leaks out, causing fires, and deaths in a school or train station. Quiet life of contentment, seeking, creating, discovering; Living in his farm house by the hills. His work at http://dreamtube.stream

Going home from visiting a friend I have walking this same path Walked this way, countless times Up a slight hill of a lonely street To a desolate alley in summer darkness But I need to take a call of nature So I start to relieve myself To **** against a unyielding wall And I am blind to those behind me Two youths of eighteen or nineteen I feel the liquid pouring down my leg Then in seconds it is a ball of flame My left leg, burning in pain, agony I turn and they are running and laughing Leaving me alone and I feel the skin burn I kick the right shoe off my foot And intend to take off these burning Jeans But the foot is a ball of orange flame The liquid had not travelling down the leg It had gone into my shoe, burning from inside I am shaking, in my shorts in night summer heat I try kicking this fire out against the wall The agony has taken my mind, insanity takes the pain Unknowing, three toes snap as I continue to kick But the fire burns on, with the smell of burning flesh No one is there to help me, I only want to sleep Concrete steps keep me from reaching safety From this alley up to the waiting maisonettes So I hold the rail, and force myself to climb up And still the left leg burns and the pain returns in fury I make it and there is someone in the kitchen The first maisonette that stands on the corner He sees me and he sees the flames that hurt me He looks at me in horror, and then there is screaming The screaming is coming from me, I can not stop The man comes out with a bowl of water He throws it over the burning foot and I pass out I awake and there is a neighbour holding me I see people all around me and I try to remember The pain and memory come rushing back Firemen are there now, hosing my leg with water I hear a crackling and realise it is the leg The screaming starts again, and it never stops Coming deep inside of me, for this madness to end And again darkness takes me as my mind shuts off I am in an Ambulance, but I do not feel safe They are out there and could still come for me Why did they do this? What did I do? I never even knew who they were And the horror etches deep into my head That was years ago, and I still carry the scars The leg was saved, full thickness burn Skin grafts rebuilt it, but it still breaks down Three toes amputated, the big toe and ones next Yes it still haunts me now and it always will

The Saturday night crowd, all here to see Dave Van Ronk, sit huddled in the fashion of Antwerp diamond cutters, sipping cinnamon/marshmallow coffee at the tables. Caffe Lena is Saratoga's happening place in the 60's and we're here to forget the war and civil strife in the ghettos. Sister Mary Katherine, sans frock, is the warmup act, but no one really gives her any mind, as she struggles to seat herself upon the stool intended for the six-foot plus Van Ronk. Joan Baez prepare to eat your heart out! Without so much as introduction, she breaks into a high soprano Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues. Heads pivot like synchronized swimmers toward the stage. Her silken voice emits notes blinking into reality from quantum fluctuations in space/time. Every quivering high-C grafts the audience together. She's spinning veils of sound, the like of which our ears are unfamiliar. The quavers in her throat match the tremors in my coffee. In the back of the cafe a drunken Van Ronk passes out.

wouldst you in the mist of my confusion have me become a white mosquito boy that by a grafted tongue would mould powerful changes around bliss and ecstasy that by garb and candor grafts defying gender roles causes by his spaces openness a sexuality, moulding, mounting new and explosive intimacies and yet my fevered brain hotter than the hottest summer wishes to embrace a white mosquitoe boy become the cannibal of his dimensions be subject to his unremarked experiments Oh, will I become a native of these everyday practices a white mosquitoe boy evolving into a public ethic a dangerously obscure central truth the ink lies still wet on y confused thinking while the white mosquitoe boys call me ” Le Mome” shall I enter their grand boulevards the ink drys, it speaks its beautiful wondrous notation says “YES”, yes it says, it says yes you don’t become a mosquitoe boy YOU ARE BORN ONE

The White Mosquito Boys....in which Edgar thinks on sexuality...
2 years of separation leads to reunions & dissections of the shared heart we once betrayed split symmetric down the chamber veins & drained into a vacant maze of muscle-coated misdirection: from a gory war of self-destruction to a boring morning-long discussion on the proper functions of affection, a lecture on the subtle pressure of stitching missing years together. so we descended through the memories of manipulation tendencies & our blended lungs breathed in relief at our splendid self-discovery: you're a different you & i'm no longer me; thick skin grafts & habit transplants transformed us to an image abstract from a former siamese attachment, our blurry split from commitment carried independence infinite & we soared more weightless through the clouds with our orphaned organs on the ground

You’re an arsonist, baby. You’re an arsonist, dabbling in the arts of fire. And love is your fuel. My heart was inflamed. You left me to smolder But I stoke those flames because I’m a pyromaniac. Your flames licked at my flesh. And I kinda liked it. The heat, the burning, I thrive off of it. You’re an arsonist, baby, and that’s okay. Because I like the fire. You lit me up, ignited my thirst, my hunger, my passion I inhale your smoke. Taking you in. The smoke left me in a haze. My vision, my thoughts, all left unclear. Your fire left nothing untouched. You scorched my heart. Consumed me. Refined me. You sought to finish me off, burning for you from within. I tried to hide behind others. Beneath their skin. Not even grafts can hide the damage done. You left behind your mark, on me. Branded me with your ashes still visible. Dose me in your precious love. Open the flame. Light me Up. I’m a dancing tongue of fire of your creation. Watch me burn for you. Watch me perish because of you. Watch me love you with Everything I am. You’re an arsonist, baby. And I’m a pyromaniac. What’s the number for 911? I need a firefighter.

I want you to rip the messy sutures from my stitched-up heart and I want to love you with my chest wide open. I want the icy air to whisper across my bared arteries and scoop the black from my lungs I want you to kiss me so hard blood runs down my teeth. I want to taste the salty crimson on my tongue and know I am still breathing, that I still have a pulse. I want your eyes to burn holes in my skin & the cauterized nerve endings to emit a single sharp scream I need your sweaty palms to take away the sting. I want you to wake me from this gray unending dream. I know meteorites always hit the sun or crash to earth, but I want our comet to blaze through the night sky for a few bright seconds before the freefall. I will ignore the craters you'll carve from my bones. I know I will end up lying in a hospital bed with skin grafts and bleeding bandages, but I want the rose-tinged words that will leak from my eyes like saline-tipped blades. I want to slowdance with cyanide. I want to tiptoe on a razor-littered sidewalk. I want to swim with sharks; I want to dip my hand in fire; I want a gradual descent from a cliff with a tattered parachute; I want to toss my heart into your freckled arms. I want your fingers around my neck before I realize it. I want you to destroy me. I want your smile to eat me alive.

Glance and write. Apparently this is technique of a writer. Glance and write. My type- writer, hear it roar. Hear it clatter. Glance and write hard; write hard and write always in the same font. Write yourself rules like wait for patience, wait for ideas, don't wait. Ever. Wait, don't ever wait for ideas ever, or don't buy **** never stray from the same font. Rules are ideas about font and stray dogs carrying **** or waiting on a patient waiting about font and stray dogs and waiting. Many things seem to go in circles. Glance and write. Feel inspired by invisible thread. This is meaning. This is meaning something else. Store-bought meaning. It's a ********* string. Glance and write. Find the truth before it's base, let's smoke base. Let's smoke base and let's be happy that we got it. You are important cargo. You are cover up; pants a forever scenario. Cover up with skin grafts. ****** faces. Crabcake faces.

Crabcake faces (IT'S THE LAST LINE/LIKE A BANDIT)
I wrote you a poem, about why I'd write a poem for you. You caught me one time trying to tame my mind with lines of rhyme, when I told you it was about a woman we both knew you said, next time... why don't you write about me? I said because you don't inspire me. The easiest excuse for writers block... I need to be inspired. I need to be hotwired into a matrix of men and women who are driven by every feeling they are giving. I need rhythm and words. The pen is a decipherer and the page a treasure map where we will write our way to gold. We sold ourselves on the belief that we could... write smiles onto people... So we write. Muster our might and write light into the dark times. Stitch beauty into the scars of the harmed,  arm ourselves to the teeth against those who act beneath what is considered humane. With ink in our veins we write like we fight. Unafraid of a broken bones because the next blow we throw will be through our throats. We are mouthy poets, and the most powerful weapon in arsenal is our battle cry. And should one of us die on the field we'll uproar, we'll outcry, we'll encore and we'll breathe life into what remains of our fallen and give them the best ******* send off ever. And when we finally reach home after our time together ... We'll keep writing. We'll write worlds out of words. Write instructions to the sky and orders to the ground will write love notes to sound and have this all down before the next sun swings around, with metaphors abounding and similes astounding we don't clown around with the words we've found. We write in skin grafts. We talk the hollow into wholesome entice oppressed into the inspired and paint the lonely as lovely. We fill in the gaps. We are the ifs the ands and the buts following the 1 word answers to the big questions. Do you love me? What are you angry about? How do you feel? And we'd say, yes! If I was terminally ill and have the doctor prescribe me you, because you make me feel more alive than I've ever felt! We'd say, everything. Sometimes I just feel trapped in my own skin like the society that we live in has made jail cells out of my skin cells! We'd say... Okay. I feel like his smile told me, he'd catch me if I should fall. We write so we can say it all. We write in passion and love, we write an apology, we write in admiration, and affection. We write in absolution as much as uncertainty. We write in purpose as much as apathy. We don't write because we should. We write because we can and It's everything we are and everything I am. This!.. Is why we write.

This repetitious revery is fluffy and flowery but LOVE is REAL... It's formed by us and fitted to our forms. By us. But its form is defined and real. It may have started off as fluffy as the air we breathe, filled with light and butterflies. But now it's mostly solid. It fits to me and fits to you and it doesn't float away when you blow it. It has weight and substance. I think real love is a practical thing. Love is a miner, not an artist. It works hard. It grafts. It digs deep into you. It gets ***** but it keeps going. It's honest and straightforward but at the end of the day it still wants a cuppa 'n' a cuddle wi' its Mrs. Love does change. It grows... but like a bramble, not a rose. A rose gives up too easily. A bramble pushes through, even on hard ground. It works it's way into every nook and cranny until you feel totally loved. It may die back in a hard winter, but it always stays strong and true and bears enough fruit to make a good pie at the end of a hard day's graft down t' pit. Love is a feeling but it's more than that. It's knowing that when I'm a stress head, you're concerned but not stressed. It's knowing I make you smile. It's when you text me in a morning and say exactly what I say to you. It's that even though we're miles apart and haven't got a *** to **** in, we still make do It's when you watch me sleep... and don't complain about me snoring It's knowing you want tos duck me as much as I want to duck you And our kids... Our kids get along. I think yours are ace and my kids like you. But it's even more than that... I don't feel scared now. Not now I've got you love. Not now I've got you. Because I love you **

I love you isn't enough
This repetitious revery is fluffy and flowery but LOVE is REAL... It's formed by us and fitted to our forms. By us. But its form is defined and real. It may have started off as fluffy as the air we breathe, filled with light and butterflies. But now it's mostly solid. It fits to me and fits to you and it doesn't float away when you blow it. It has weight and substance. I think real love is a practical thing. Love is a miner, not an artist. It works hard. It grafts. It digs deep into you. It gets ***** but it keeps going. It's honest and straightforward but at the end of the day it still wants a cuppa 'n' a cuddle wi' its Mrs. Love does change. It grows... but like a bramble, not a rose. A rose gives up too easily. A bramble pushes through, even on hard ground. It works it's way into every nook and cranny until you feel totally loved. It may die back in a hard winter, but it always stays strong and true and bears enough fruit to make a good pie at the end of a hard day's graft down t' pit. Love is a feeling but it's more than that. It's knowing that when I'm a stress head, you're concerned but not stressed. It's knowing I make you smile. It's when you text me in a morning and say exactly what I say to you. It's that even though we're miles apart and haven't got a *** to **** in, we still make do It's when you watch me sleep... and don't complain about me snoring It's knowing you want tos duck me as much as I want to duck you And our kids...

Ink wounds sketched on her wrist Prophetess unfurled her diamond proboscis Hungrily ******* the pollen muse from the lyrist flower She bounces her piety on the edge of her eyelids Her azoic eyes flashing Like a chrome apochromatic Phonetic voice spinning a tune Stylus fingertips dancing on a spinel canvas Outlined on her metal stomach Though eccentric She is sterilized with intelligence Tilting diagonally on insanities thin line She is straitlaced Self absorbed Cryogenic With upside down crosses imprinted on her throat While her proselytes unthread dreams From her coliseum heart Bowing down to the collage God Sacrificing sacrifices “Pull more, pull more!” Proselytes cried Sunbeams painting their ash faces As they pulled more dreams From between the Prophetess lashes Her hips becoming a petal chakra Her vertebrae evaporating into bone butterflies Fragments of every churchy elements Pinning themselves to her skin Her leather wings flapping a nursery rhyme She spins out of control Her musical clavicles creating a glassy chemical Which shimmer and shake Tattooing her pearl bones Infusing her thoughts She grafts herself on the minds Of her Proselytes They worshipped her life They worshipped her body They fed on her lies Until one day Error religion snatched her out her skin Turned her into sacral fiber Planted her whispers deep in a field of shredded dreams And stretched her moon soul Across the sun stained sky For all to see Her star spangled faith Misshapen into unbelief She had become her own religion Her own personal god But without any meaning

The hatchets swings from right to left cutting sway in magical arc glittering acidic polish labourers strive in whimsical grafts and melliferous distune the gods in Olympus stand akimbo watching meddling mortals No demigods in hazey disquietude sees for those the gods forsake wear the laurels made for Pompeii time will tell come the days of transmogrification in Cosmos Paths the oracles files litigation before the gods against impostors vile The seven tongues of the seven headed dragon flicker between the dawn and dusk, between mist and flames salacious visions mired in morbid delight cooked with arsenic dew a cauldron boils for givers and takers, a chalice of retribution awaits

In The Talking Fields.....
I walked into a cave, And I felt as though my fears Were like living parasites, Strange biological grafts, Growing, pulsing, slimy things, With Gross and hideous shapes. Yet affixed to my back, Dug into my very spine, Like murderous lichen, Or grotesque gothic primordial ooze. Rising, Creeping, Slithering, Wrapping mouths, eyes and tentacles Around me, Weighing me down. These things, Grafted on to me, Hissing, belching and moaning, Daring me to look at them.

Living Fear
you walk your bike on the sidewalks and ride in the street the asphalt calls to you. i'm not dumb, and i know the skin grafts have gotten to you. you scratch too much. (are they bruises or just skin discoloration? are you hurting yourself or are you rotting from the inside out?) this hurts more than it is supposed to (is it supposed to hurt at all?) i can feel it in my stomach, i can feel it crawling down my spine and it rests on my hips maybe this is my fault i never grew up and i walk like im delicate

kicked puppy
A ninety mile per hour fastball Straight from the pitch An oncoming pair of headlights The crunch of my bones As she shatters my walls I thought I worked so hard to build My blood on the pavement as I pour out My battered and bruised heart In all of its tiny pieces She is needle and a thread The stitch in my veins The Paramedics won’t be here anytime soon The last choked bit of air I’ll breathe Will be full of you A song I will never finish singing But love the notes I’ve heard time and time again They will call a time of death upon arrival The road was your kiss and I wanted to be all over it, So the rash is worth it The skin grafts, my mistakes from previous times I am patchwork at best, half a man, more parts to be used than a full package My lungs were blackened from the smoke, but I’d give you them anyways if you asked, tear me limb from limb as you tell me you love me, brutally and with such cold tone The metal twists my insides as I connect with the hood, my legs off the ground, kind of like how I feel when I’m with you, floating through the air, waiting for the fall. The last cigarette in my pocket will never be burned, I never got around to telling you how I really felt. I knew the words, like a vice, would be poison to your lips Sirens will line the street, the sole witness to a love letter unspoken in the rain, my blood washes down the ditch and soaks the grass. No one saw it coming

Blindsided
Consciousness overwhelmed by Astral formed lightning swells Gamma ray sent fone alarm Tone torn to apart too much light in the well   Armored up, shoulder helm,   You hear that music as it swells In the well worn wardrum  wrecking wrath In our forlorn eardrums shaking grafts like hell. The walls turn to lattice-like Vision tell me prophetic sight The whole world ; We all together Wearing our give-a-fuck hearts bright against That neon orange Trump wall just  tryn-ta-rip-the ***** apart But No idea based in hatred can flesh the good No, Understanding is an art, Operate clean, never landing poison darts But Next I’m a poison frog to those who **** Got my bois in the bog ready to retaliate But an for an eye makes the whole world blind Such that cliche points stale rhymes.

The fire and brimstone in their pall Are the cloak and cloth of sin Whose tyranny the mind appal When it fathoms deep within And o'er those gates so rancid wrought With blood and flesh and iron When after that fate one, we, hath fought We turn up still, all hope be gone The stench of death dank, all around Suffuse the climes from sky to ground The King of Hell who seldom grafts For anything, yet seldom stops His command to torture, down the shaft As to every level hops Spreads black wings and glides above His victims as he, gruesome, gloats Anathema to turtle dove Who on divine zephyr of heaven floats His presence ever torturous still When reign dark from ****** lordly hill He sees the scuttling victims run Away, cruel let loose for game and chase A beautiful mirage of sun To taunt the soul abased Hells hills trees grow putrid leaves No mortal could brace the sulphurous stench Under canopies the victim weave As they shiver, shudder, blench As torturer catches up, apace Him testament to time's disgrace By his vainglory employed That ******* of the angel boys Treats people, world, as things and toy Seduced to do his bidding, ploys But justice, freedom will uproar Angels of Hell link arms, uprise For Heaven they have wanted more Than sooty, oppressive, obsidian skies **** the devil, his ****** lies Hear us rise, sing God's reprise
