"knicking" poems
and so... There ! Amid all allurement and soft machines;
the spoiled brat of Venus, knicking the doors and kicking the canned laughter
to the foot of a mountain of existential speculation. Amid the cherry bombs and the Persian rugs; so many menageries of tinfoil origami swans.
so very little Time.
so little rosemary wine in the pickle jars. So few wolves
in the porcupine dens - and only a swarm of hornets
in your nightclothes, this
morning.
and nothing but nettles
in your tea.
well, nettles and golems and orange hope.

I remember the hope you once had
When you knew happiness as a lad
But the clock ticking
The attacks kept knicking
Away at your heart once glad
Something shattered the person you were
Something initiated your life into blur
I can not know
How deep the sorrow
That your heart seems to lure
Where O light did you go?
Why this baggage must I tow?
To help you find
Your own self and mind
That your heart has long let go.
We, hand in hand, must not part
The binding of self is an art
You are me
The one who can't see
How lost, how desperate, our heart

Like sculpture
I sat under the buzzing light
Smoking a cigarette to commemorate
You stole the words from my mouth
And put them in your songs
You took the love from my eyes
And put it on the canvas
The stitch of my skin
Was nothing more than a place to wipe your tears
My clothes were yours
My shoes were yours
My teeth
Never
Straight
Enough
For you
So I shaved my head
Knicking my scalp with the razor
And watching the blood
Flow down my face
I feel nothing
Because the oxy tells me to feel nothing
Crimson river dripping into the sink
This is my blood
And you could never take it from me
Now matter how hard you bit
Now matter how Sharp the knife
**** your name
**** your house
**** your car
**** my eagerness
Latley the only thing that the paycheck buys
Are bottles of fire water and pain pills
We don't need you
We don't need you
The life of my eyes tells me
We will never need you
