Dead Still Dreaming
I died awhile ago
   froze to death in snow
   lost in dream's flow
   still alive to and fro.
   Can't quite be still
   like a corpse until
   devil robs the till
   of my own free will.

or just hungover

spurned French lover
willing to punish you
as I fly into the Sun
my wings won't do
Icarus come undone.

Soldier's Cost
I could not attain velocity
    to escapes war's gravity.
    Never found land of free.
    No more real geometry.
    Wished who I used to be,
    no now what I had to see.

Grandpa Rosselot
Early evenings he was a hoot.
In his cups beers and butts
another cheap shot to shoot
aimed at pretty bar stool *****.

Hungover monster at 6 am
angry at the entire universe
God and Satan great amen
hair of the dog cures a curse.

I lived in rough waters
the puddles of fathers.
Drama's beauty queens
all their broken dreams.
Go marry your fantasies
give it all on your knees.
Another drink I'm healed.
You were made in a field.

then Terry Morse
then Lynette
Finally Jayne.

My God's Suicide
He always sat
in a **** fiat
on His throne
no press, alone,
Godly everything
wears God's ring.
Creation progressed
we all confessed
sins big and small
in the confessional.
I told
of my hold
on my *****
vomited sick
white puke
as a rebuke.
God is dead
shot in the head
with my ***
midnight sun.
Guilty as charged!
Cousin Mike more than a brother over years.
You had *** at 14. I kissed them made them cry.
Wyoming was roaming with eager wet tears.
You broke our hearts and used ***** to die.

Grampa Bill
He died a long time ago
but lives inside us each

always doubt and trust.

Lust's Spasms
Hold my hand to the end and beyond
  where souls never break their bond.
  No flesh to navigate lust's spasm.
  We exist as one in our perfection.
He snores and farts in sleep.
Unabashed as we kids creep
looking at Grandpa's books
borrowing them like crooks.
Salinger's Catcher in the Rye.
Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.
Bronte's Wuthering Heights.
Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.
Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar.
My Endless Night's in the Bar
tanned in neon's sunlight
stumble home in moonlight.

of the mortal sin
without any regret.
