The Yellow Apple
Dance
I eat yellow apples
and you dance.
I speak and you touch
me from inside.
I walk and you follow.
I rest and you awaken
me for more.
You are with me always.
You move in me with
grace.
We are bond.
You are not born.
but we will never be this
close again.
I eat yellow apples
and you dance.
1989
Face (Apples Revisited)
Will you have it?
My face
Will you take mine?
My face
Will you kiss it?
My face
“How are you
today, my face?”
“Apples, apples!”
you say
We share the same
face
1989
The Wolf
Vile untruths
Like serpents
Crawl from your mouth
You revel in my pain
Laughing at my bright
eyes
I never noticed your
black teeth
Your pleasure is
deception
You soul has tiny
holes of rot
I see it now
The red of your eyes
Your smell of sadness
Goodbye
Gone
Over
Hope fled
Weary and tired
I cannot remember
the sweetness
My senses are blank
This day I have dreaded
Early 1990’s
My Heart Bleeds Purple
Hard and fast
Reeling
Desperate and falling
No faces
The gray edge of
pain
I can look and see
The softness
I look ahead
Black
Tangled
Slick
You are too many
Slamming
Feverish
One small tear
Heated and frightened
Holding me
My heart bleeds purple
for you
early 90's
Argyles
Collection (I, II, III)
Argyles
(I)
I bought
a pair of argyle socks today.
I thought
of you.
You always
wore argyles.
I liked
that about you.
Clean lines
and subdued color.
Ah, you
were handsome.
You were
many to me.
Striking
in demeanor and intelligence.
Warm
And jaded
And dark
you were.
A mysterious
man wearing argyle socks.
I visited
your grave once.
Were you
buried with a nice pair of argyles on?
I then proceeded
home to wear your soul on my feet.
Visit (II)
No lights
candle flame
Iggy on
stereo, hard
Bathed in
you
a tickle
through me
closed eyes
soft chair
warm feet
wrapped in argyle socks
……..KNOCK,
KNOCK, KNOCK……..
…….HEY,
HEY, HEY YOU……..
,,,,,,Fuck
you, knocking neighbor,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,I’m
spending a little time with a dead friend here,,,,,,,
A shot of
vodka
A little
wine
Laughing
and talking
I can smell
you
…….BOOM,
BOOM, BOOM…..
…..TURN
THAT SHIT DOWN YOU STUPID BITCH…….
,,,,,,,I
like this,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,hanging
with you,,,,,,,
smoking
and
watching
the curls
stay here
with me
for awhile
…….I’M
GONNA CALL THE COPS……
………IF
YOU DON’T TURN THAT NOISE OFF NOW…..
,,,,,,grin,
grin, smile, smile, giggle, giggle, chuckle, chuckle, laugh, laugh,,,,,
I ponder
over why
I always
get into trouble
when you
are around
Ricky Baby
(III)
Your last
image
Mother bending
…..yes,
Mommy, yes, hold me…..
you drift
in and out of lucidity
lids fall
struggling
to peer at your mommy
slow whispered
breath
….is
that you, mommy?…..
no answer
from her
long pauses
between your death rattles
she snatches
the shiny earring from your warm earlobe and scurries from the room
I put socks
on your feet, Argyles
add a blanket
tuck you
in
kiss your
forehead
I pray that
your mom is getting your dad from the waiting room to love you one last time
I wait
Holding
you
….is
that you, Mommy?…..
**Yes, Dear,
it is Mommy and Daddy is here too and we love you and always have, Ricky Baby, we love you so much**, I say to you
…..you
really do love me, you really do, you really……..
You die
with diamonds on your feet
1991-2001
Summer Solstice Lover
The sun shines on
you through our window
You speak
I watch your mouth
move, not hearing
I touch the warmth
of your neck
I watch your lips
move and move
I smell your hair
And place fingers
in your mouth to quiet you
I taste your arm,
warmed by the sun
I feel my breath
leave me
I am alone in the
world with you
Stay here in the
sun with me
I don’t care
about the world
I don’t care
what the others say or think
I only care for you
and me
Close your eyes,
baby
Push the pain from
words away
Let me see you
Let me touch you
Let me taste you
Let me be you
I will dry your tears
And I will mend your
tears
Stay here in the
sunbeams with me
1994
Hathor Told Me
Come to me, Love
I am patient
I will wait for you
I have asked Mother
Hathor to bring you to me
How many bursting
moons will we see alone?
I only ask-----less
than we will see together
I will know you by
your warmth and pain
For I am the magic
to heal your rage
And I will know you
by your calm hands
Your sweet mouth
Your bright eyes
For these are my
salvation
A week, a year, a
decade or more
Hathor spoke to me
in dreams
The union will for
worth the wait she said
For the love will
never end
I believe in Her,
myself and you
I dream of you and
wait
Knowing I will be
exalted in you
Absorbed yet separate
Come to me, my love
We can make the world
right again
1995
Keep Just Love
Intense, beyond my
wildest dreams
Little boy, he cried
for so long
One true magician
Venous pumping blue-black
Empathy at once
Kaleidoscope shattered
Initiation to another
level
My deity-demon lover
Innocence was stolen
Damage to his shell
Restrained his light
Enveloped him with
lies
A life of screaming
Misery was learned
Hurtful speech
In his ears
Mouth stitched tight
Just moving to
Unknown places
Steering beyond the
past
Taking nothing
Running for his life
Ignoring his nightmares
Grabbing his pencils
and brushes
He paints his picture
To his truth
Why does he run?
You ask
How can I slow his
rising?
You cannot
Courage is something
I taught him
And you taught him
Hell
Not a day goes by…
That I don’t
think of his journey
Yearning to be loved
One little boy
Understands for a
moment
1995-1999
Santino
I turned my head
And you were yesterday
Tear out my heart
And smear it on the
wall
The same womb
The same path
I turn my head and
you were there
Magician man
Poke me with words
I bathe in your understanding
Paint under your
nails
Wanderlust under
your skull
Sixteen moods in
24 hours
Lusty man scent
I await your homecoming
To the mountain,
to the grave,
To the store, to
the cave
Hair of the Viking
Walk in the woods
of demons
Offering your mouth
to the sky
Love me like a painting
Rest on me
Bring me a souvenir
of argyles
late 90's
The Stars Laugh While
The Moon Weeps-unfinished
The stars laugh while
the moon weeps
They do not see
They only search
The hosts unknowing
Bodies follow
Souls shudder at
recognition
Having walked together
before
Some kill each other
A few will love and
challenge the sky brights
The stars laugh while
the moon weeps
Hydra
1998
Walk Away
Leave me the fuck
alone
I hate the way you
chew
I hate the way you
breathe
Your smell gags me
Walk away
You do not deserve
to call me lover
You touched my life
but you didn’t touch me
You are nothing
Nothing
Do you hear me?
Yes, turn your head
and walk away
Drown in your tears
Die a painful, agonizing
death
Walk away
You are dead to me
now
1998
Smoke Break
Taking a smoke break
at work
Watching the yellow
leaves on a giant tree wave at me
Thinking about him
The man I am falling
in love with
The trees have no
advice for me
A hundred birds sitting
on the telephone wires
They don’t
have any words of wisdom for me either
I think about his
grace
He came to me so
unexpected
Yet as if I had been
waiting for him my whole life
I light another cigarette
My heart if fluttering
at the thought of him
I want to cry tears
of joy, but not here at work
I must save them
for later
I close my eyes and
I can smell him
See his smile
Feel his calm hands
on my face
He makes me feel
real
He knows my secrets
that I hide from most of the world
He is patient and
understanding
His mind is vast
and wondrous
I take the last drag
off my cigarette
I crush it out and
tell the bright leaves and chattering birds to give me a sign to confirm that my heart is true enough for this man
The leaves wave back
and forth in the wind and birds start to take flight
My heart soars with
them
I am exalted
I deserved to love
him and receive his love for me
I go back to my desk
and wish for the end of this workday, so that I may speak to my lover and let him know that the leaves and the birds approve
of my love for him
10/99
Birds in my Blood
Hands on my face
Purple sparks
Touch, here
Yes
Now
Sugar on my lips
Smiles
Fingers bent
Birds
Birds in my blood
Where is this place?
You live here?
Birds
Birds in my blood
The world is only
8 x 4
Moon in my belly
Bright eyes
Strong hands
Rain smell
Thrill sex
Sugar
Warmth
And faintness
Soft
Soft on my heat
Birds
Birds in my blood
Scrubbing the past
away
11/15/99
Allowed
Sometimes I just
want to be allowed
Allowed to have a
bad day
Screw the baseline,
please
I can be mad or angry
Oh yes, and even
sad
I may cry
And bitch
It is just a bad
day
Not like your head-in-an-oven
bad day
Just like a not so
good day
Allow me the dignity
I am not decomping
Don’t ask me
if I took my meds
I am having a bad
day
Just a day that is
less than yesterday
Allow me the pleasure
of you ignoring me
Tomorrow is always
better after a real good bad day
Thank you so much
for allowing me to have just that
11/20/99
Pissing
“I will spread
my soul for you just don’t piss in it”
Remember when I said
that?
Giggling and laughing
Stomach flutters
Souls saying “How
you been?”
“Haven’t
seen you in a while”
“Wanna compare
scars, sweetie?”
Newness vibrations
On our best social
behavior
Holding doors
Saying please and
thank you
Safe topics
Keeping it light
and cool
Bullshit
Ask me, I will tell
you
Go ahead
Hold me up to your
notions
Tell me everything
Ask me anything
I have a rubber
heart
A shaman’s
wisdom
And a child’s
world wonder
Quiz me again
Try to trip me on
my words
Like that
Don’t like
that
Like this
Put me on a seesaw
Or better yet a balanced
scale
Up and down
Back and forth
Measure me
Look in now
Look way in there
now
For I am cleaved
in the open air
“Just don’t
piss in my soul”
Remember that
It burns and leaves
another scar
11/20/99
It Screams
I have opened my soul You asked for it And it screams so very loud I warned you All the secrets revealed Like black bugs spilling from my mouth Piercing pleas in the middle of a dark night So many dirty secrets I showed you You think of me as a bronze Goddess But now maybe a filthy whore as well The brightness shows now And the dark side is always just a filmy veil away Can you still love me this way? I lost my God in a room full of survivors And I told you of the ones I have chosen to
worship Can you accept
me? All of me? The past, the present, the future, the unknown
The person I am becoming
on the quest to heal I
am open and bloody still So
many years I have come So
many more to go Will
you sooth me with honey love? Or burn my open wounds with more piss and ignorance like the others? I have so little trust left Yet I will leave this soul screaming for love and the familiar Can you withstand the force of my hatred and
intense love for all of mankind? Walk beside me or cut me like the ones before Because I will leave you if you hesitate for one moment Purity is reachable with or without you You heard the screams Now choose
12/5/99
Leper Lover
Tickle that place
behind my soul
One glance can set
me free
No one else knows
how
To make me feel so
real
Only you can excite
Laughter down through
my toes
Eyes so bright my
Powerful man
Envelope my body
Release me, free
2000
Phoenix
You make laughter
break through black clouds
The strangest
emotion
My raging bull,
searing pain
Cold clothe on
my soul when the heat is melting my will
No robes of judgment
You are the parent
to my child
You have witnessed
my many deaths and births
Shouldering the
weight of me

Psych Ward
Shuffle
Can someone
help me out here?
I am feeling
pretty mighty!
I shouted
with a sneer,
I think
my name is Aphrodite!
Please come
with me said the nurse.
Down the
hall and up this little hill.
Oh, how
that girl was so clean and terse.
She gave
me a big yellow pill!
We insist
you experience the lock.
We want
to study your mind.
We want
to give you a shock.
We will
try to be kind.
I broke
free and ran like the wind.
Praying
the door was not barred.
I would
have made it.
If not for
that security guard.
The sound
of loud bells.
A shot full
of Thorazine.
Piercing
yet fading yells.
I fell to
the floor unable to even lean.
I raised
my head and saw the phone.
I tried
to call 911.
The damn
thing had no tone.
It just
could not be done.
So I relaxed
and I lay.
Serene and
fading out, I heard a muffle.
I would
have to wait until some other day.
To do the
Psych Ward Shuffle.

Acceptance
Acceptance
and ..... Stillness. The absence of sound. Cool
breeze over my skin. Clean and whole.
Acceptance and ..... The contentment to drift. The safety to dream.
The boldness to smile. The pleasure of me.
Acceptance
and ..... Simplicity. A fine thin measure above. Strength of the spirit. Comfort of the mind.
Acceptance and ..... Colors flash softly. The smell of rain. A warm touch. The sound of clouds.
Acceptance and ..... Hope. I am glorious. Remembered and known. Creation of my everlasting
existence.

5 AM Tracks
All the mind track
are on
Mommy’s moving
far away
Son pushing his bounds
Man unsettled
And I, no auxiliary
Joy, guilt, esteem,
anger, pride
Longing, wonder,
desire, fear
------All the mind
tracks are in motion
Turtle pace
Hare speed
So close to each
other
Spinning so close
Little helpers doing
maintenance
“We need more
little girl memories on track 7, please”
“A little less
torque on the lament track”
“We don’t
want those ducts activated!”
“Bring it up,
bring it up, slowly”
“Endurance
track looks fine, boys”
“Keep it up”
“Whoa----vanity
is rising a bit”
“Keep an eye
out, a watchful eye”
“Serenity nearly
achieved now, boys”
“Good job,
man your stations”
“She’s
sleeping now”
“Let the night
shift take over”
“Hey, did anyone
take notes this time?”

then you were Ralph, my Mom and Dad’s good friend,
then you were Ralph, my Mom’s supportive friend in time of need,
then you were Ralph, my Mom’s buddy,
then you were Ralph, my Mom’s friend,
then you were Ralph, my Mom’s lover,
then you were Ralph, my Mom’s husband,
then you were Ralph, my Stepdad,
then you were Ralph, my Dad,
I love you Dad

I

Every

I
am operating with a compromised mind
So
do be kind
I
might not remember you
I
may ask “when, what, where, who”
I
might not remember your face
I
could be way off base
I
have good days
And
murky haze
Give
me a smile
And
in my shoes walk a mile
I
do care
So
let us be fair
Have
patience and share with me
And
I will respect thee

Send

Set

I

I

I
will take it all in
And
release it to the wind
I
do not want to see the others distressed
Give
me the hurt and let them be blessed
I
want to make a deal
I
want to make a deal with you, God

My

I

I
was heavy with hate
I
heard the yore
I
kissed the shiny whore
I
laughed and chose to linger
Inward,
I pointed a finger
I
tasted dirt
I
have and did cause hurt
Bringing
paper to pen
With
the good and the sin
With
this might
I
flow to write
For
to want is to know

to know is to grow

I took a shower with a spider today
Oh, my tiny spider
Making my world wider
My grin doth lift
So diligent and swift
Reflected in the light
Your many eyes so bright
Do hurry about
and scurry about
Deadly nothing’s wrong
So delicate, so small, so strong
Shocked without talk
the prey you stalk
Edging a wee nip
Savoring the sip
Feasting on blood-soul
Absorbing past the goal
I took a shower
with a spider
today

Cotton Candy
The colors have always been there
Underneath the facade of care
Behind a veil of lies
A host of tries
The cloak of deception
With a connection
That must die
Held together by
Sticky cotton candy on a cheap stick
So hard, so thick
An aura of doom
To only assume
An attack
A knife in my back
I will not follow you there
For I don’t give a care
For your ice and heat
In a package sickly sweet
No water for that seed
You will not induce a bleed
I shall be fine
I will draw that line
You are with sin
From deep within
It will make you sick
Sticky cotton candy on a cheap stick
1/13/07
My Gifts
I like the drama when the curtain falls.
I like a room filled with dolls.
Snowfall smells
Where my heart dwells
My toes in the sand
Holding your hand
A baby’s sleep
A joyful weep
The light of moonrise
Tats on my thighs
Talking to you
Eating snow cones of blue
Touching a tree
Smiling at thee
Napping in the shade
Satiation made
In the newly crisp air
You will find me there
Tasting the fruit
Wrapped in softness to suite
Will you please
I give you these
You never shall part
From my heart
1/14/07
Your Kaleidoscope
Gentle spirals to the center
Waves on peaceful shores
The path to enchantment
Whispers of our secrets
Banishing the unknown
Uncovering the dreams
Listening to your energy
Touching your balanced need
Ride upon your wizened ID
I desire to taste of your mind
Feast on your old soul
Soothe your roaring heartbeat
Share my story of the ancient
Suck of honey lust
Pleasure will befall us
I want to make love to your
Personality
Your kaleidoscope

Whispers

Puss in boots
Hesitation on his side

My hair will not stay back
The lower functioning offend me
Relieve me please
Take the stairs, downstairs
I am out of answers

I
Don’t Love You
Last
night as a maiden
My gifts
now as the crone are laden
Bubbling
on the side of right
Towards
the healing light
Leaves
in my hair
A sad
story I must share
The taste
is ill of your lave
The power
of my pink womb-cave
I was
shown the save
Looking
down upon myself
Waiting
for the time of stealth
The inside
mother
Is above
her
Daddy
at my funeral, he doth weep
I took
that faithful leap
Damage
to her shell
A glimpse
of Hell
In the
moonlight
The Tiger
fought the Bear
Until
nothing was left there
Invoking
the fright or flight
Blood
on the streets that night
I was
passed by with fright
On that
cold darkened night
Upon
bloody feet I raced to my Hero
The rookie’s
knowledge was less than zero
The machine
of lies
Does
not reflect the whys
My race
Hero is wise
Scrubbing
away the dirt
Releasing
the inner hurt
Acceptance
of the clean
The survivors
know what this shall mean
Releasing
the pain of the event
From
Heaven I was sent
Your
five is nothing against my nine
I made
you tow the line
For all
to see your sign
Of poisoned
wine
Of the
water from my Lord
The Justice
of her sword
With
the others I got past the blind
Their
support was true and kind
The smell
of vanilla crème
From
this I gleam
The karma
of Justice
For those
amongst us
There
will be no nails upon my coughin’
From
Daddy I feel soften
Revisit
the ground
Making
it sacred with my sound
The last
small piece
To release
My condolences
I offer
For I
am now softer
Introspection
Of the
deception
A dove
upon my back
Dove
in water to reduce the black
Blank
slate
Of remembered
hate
I wear
a necklace of your teeth
Underneath
Two to
too
I don’t
love you

Irish
He gave
her the best compliment
with
soul-felt sentiment
She desires
to go to Boston
to get
lost in
She wept
for joy
understanding
it was not a ploy
for affection
but an
order of loving selection
He gallantly
took flight
and sped
to her in the night
Sipping
on a gasoline powered Silly
The road
to her mind is rather hilly
And he
stepped right in
to revel
in her shiny sin
Truthful
power inked on their backs
For nothing
and no one lacks
They
feasted of the morning
after
their pretty whoring
From
the hurt they spurred
things
best left unheard
A bridge
was burned
From
this she learned
that
a newness could be built
upon
flowers of released guilt
She never
gave up the hope
and did
her damnedest to cope
Again
they talk
holding
hands to walk
through
the strife
of this
Life
She smiles
at their friendship
From
the cool clean water of shared empathy they sip
She will
always keep close the wish
of freedom
and peace for her Irish

The Mechanic
I want
to wear a wig
And dance
a jig
upon
your grave
I want
to sneak in on third shift
And leave
you a gift
upon
your grave
I will
lay you some vanilla Coke
And something
to smoke
upon
your grave
I will
make you a clover chain
To ease
my pain
upon
your grave
I am
Goldilocks
In warm
socks
upon
your grave
I remember
the day of leap
And I
never weep
upon
your grave
I sing
Sunshine
And make
it mine
upon
your grave
Sinead,
the best, sang and etched
For I
am stretched
upon
your grave

L5
Could not walk
Could barely talk
Nothing in me eases
I have enough dis-eases
Son had to grow up fast
The time of play was past
He wept for my fear
His sadness did sear
They cut up my shell
Filled me with water from the well
Softest Mommy took the ball
And did not let me fall
A fistful of pills
The night gave me chills
I was heavy with lead
But clear in my head
The pending burden did loom
I prayed for the flowers to bloom
Screaming For My Supper helped me thru
The healing was true
My soldiers did rally ‘round me
Faith was to be
I buried the staff
With a mighty laugh
I will never revisit
My inner candle is lit
I tossed my cards
I mended the shards

Simon
Sending me to places I have never been
I like his visions of the past/present/future from within
My heart beats in time with his joy
On a bed of jasmine flowers I relax and enjoy
Near to me, dear to me, he can hear me
In the still of the night
Sending me hope and his light
My wall supports a picture he drew
You can look and see it’s true
For I have a kindred soul of old
Rather than lies being, to me, sold
I thank the Gods above
Everlasting connection of admired love
No ocean or land
Depletes his calming hand
2/15/07
My
Condolences
I
did not get to say any goodbyes
I
light candles to warm me
No
answers as to the whys
Releasing
wishes to be free
I
will live in this skin
wishing
that time could be rewound
Wanting
to be heard over the din
of
all the chaotic sound
I
won’t be seeing you here anymore
You
have gone thru the trials
and
have reached the door
to
everlasting peace and smiles
I
think of all the times of fun
I
remember and cherish the care
I
look towards the sky and the sun
And
to these, my soul, I bare
I
will keep your memory in my heart true
For
I will be in Summerland
one
day too
and
I will hold your hand
We
will talk of old times
We
will take a stance
We
will drink of sweet wines
We
will laugh, we will sing and dance

Joy is

Copiously and
lovingly as

nuances.

Can
you hear me?
Can
you hear me?
Blood
and bruises.
Cold
and windy,
against
the grain.
Chaotic
dreams,
those
that did slip.
The
claws in back,
black
taste of mane.
Stand
up to shout.
Change
in season.
Paper
and paints,
a
step to gain.
Feet
on marble,
moving
in time.
Daffodils
bloom,
strong
beats the vein.
Play
guitar licks.
The
pretty floats,
in
the parade.
All
shine no rain.

It’s Okay, Baby
It is in my head.
(It’s okay.)
My limbic system, baby.
Up here,
in the brain.
(It’s okay.)
It is in my head.
It’s okay, baby.
It’s okay, baby.
Called it touched,
(yes, yes, yes.)
not near insane.
Sit next to me, baby,
on my train.
(yeah, yeah, yeah.)
It is in my head.
It’s okay, baby.
It’s okay, baby.
Listen…
there is nothing to explain.
(sure, sure, sure.)
(yeah, yeah, yeah.)
It is in my head, baby.
It’s okay, baby.
It’s okay, baby.
It’s okay, baby.

Honey
Did that girl just tweak his nipples on stage?
It’s not an urban myth,
I do have a vagina.
It’s said music soothes the savage breast.
Well, I have big tits.
Everyone should dance,
with their eyes closed.
Listen with their memories.
Pretty flower box in the window
TV says that he had a gaping gash on his head
Eating a cookie, so sweet
I reach out to touch the roses
Slashes of sunbeams
Tints of pink and red and purple
So fresh, so warm
I have a secret for you
3/17/07
Tuesday

Tiny

Memories,

Everlasting.

Hauntingly,

Hello
She feels light blue today.
This lady has nothing to say.
She bitches about everyone and everything,
all the time.
This guy tells really bad jokes,
but I still laugh with him.
If I had a Waltham, I would shott myself right now.
Stupid.
He is down with the sickness
but is good people.
This man has an imaginary dog.
Well, he carries around a stuffed animal.
I am glad you have such a great marriage.
Hang up.
Hang up.
Hang up.
Hang up.
Your time is up.
Please call again.

Drivel
Oh, please hold me.
I need to pee.
I am a sap.
I write crap.
I write drivel.
I am civil.
I have no skill.
I make people ill.
I write shit all day.
I only write one way
I spend all my time,
making my drivel rhyme.
I write about love.
And god above.
I need to leak.
I need to speak.
I have no clue,
that I am writing poo.
I just go on and one.
I make everyone yawn.
All the while,
I have no style.
A bad poet.
Makes me shit.
3/26/07
A Hobby
Outta the womb,
& into the bar.
I know what Eddie Vedder smells like.
The Hutch poured Evian on my t-shirt.
Moby is so sweet.
Joey Ramone is so tall,
and stinky,
but,
nowhere near as bad as Rob Zombie.
Sister Nancy acknowledged us.
Treat Her Right bumper stickers.
Guess Who shook our hands.
Godsmack yelled at us.
Redmath tolerated us and did my hair.
Saw Hank puke outside the bar in his drinking days.
I had no clue Randy California was hitting on me.
Shag got so high before the fireworks gig.
Jello sang to us.
Happy got a dose of Pacino.
Dead Kennedys are humble.
Shared things with Sprung Monkey in the cold.
Freekbass finds us amusing.
Debbie Harry is tiny, tiny, tiny.
That was not me.
I did not stick my finger up Courtney’s butt that night.
I don’t want to fuck a star.
I just want to fuck with them.
3/26/07
Question of Skins
Don’t be rash
I have welts
I realize it’s heartfelt
I need to crash
Itchy
Bitchy
That’s the rub
What about this CBT stuff?
We are already doing it?
I remember days
(filled)
with Librium, Elavil and Seconol
I have teeth
Scratch in my skin
It has been
Sweet release
Itchy
Bitchy
Rub
Again

Flowers Tock
Rosehips are bitter on the tongue
Fool Moon is on
Loving loved lover
Undercover
Jasmine compliments sandalwood
Bask in it, lie in it, smile in it
Afterglow
It’s all part of my show
Oil and water looks so pretty in the light
Daffodils bloom so briefly
Tattered tatted tales
Crucial
Brutal
Confessional
Jesus fucked me on a bed of wildflowers
Twice this night
Tic tock tick tock
Your name is on my clock
Nettles will sting you
Best to keep my glasses on
And my expectations near
Claws and teeth in check
Two warriors hold hands
Nightshade can be deadly
Reassurance of beauty
But the jury is still out
Is that dogwood blooms I smell?
Don’t preach to me
I already know about sense on scents
And that flowers bloom at night
4/01/07
CAKE
I want MY cake,
and I want to eat it too.
I must CONFESS that I am short on money,
but I am long on time.
There are more resources than excuses.
Wise words spoken, I WILL listen to you.
I love him from afar and it BURNS me there.
My therapist loves me more than my own mother.
That damn dog ate my glasses as if I would not see.
You just know someone is going to get SMACKED.
You had to run to go eat sushi with a friend.
Is THAT what you call it?
Painting my rainbows to appear soft and inviting.
I am kind in my mind, always dinking and THINKING.
I want to come back as a cat, life would be grand.
For my own SAKE I will bake a cake of sweetness.
4/02/07
High Ends
I am sorry
I was not well
I kicked
And I screamed
And I yelled
Filthy mouth
Holding nothing
Back
My tongue
On fire
Broken glass in my eyes
Blood metal in mouth
I can hear the music
Yes, I hear the music
I must scrub what lies
More candles to cover its smell
I wish I could bottle this
Stick it down a deep well
I need to go south
Now
Don’t touch me
I will break apart
Juice in veins
My purple heart
I hurt you and shredded and I fell
I am sorry
I was not well
4/2/07
Ouch
It’s like taking a truth serum, so in your face,
and I should be gagged some will argue.
Moreover, I don’t give…
a shit about what I can, will and do say to you.
My pale skin is on fire.
And you think,
new love will heal the savage breast?
I do think before I speak,
cutting you open with words.
Wine and pills are so sweet,
I am at times but,
the black sits in my…
heart of hearts, waiting.
No one knows the,
I, me or you.
Needlessly soothing a beast.
Endlessly, I fear.
Her sting is sharp and quick.
Excellence jumbled with doubt.
And I want a way out of this mess.
Deliver to me, some softness.
Suck out my tainted marrow.
4/03/07 – 04/10/07
Clock Me
I hunger for more
Fill up my inner whore
Dead Skin made me walk again
I have been left before
Broken and bloody
Near the shore
I will with you fight
Taking colossal bites
Bring it on baby
I have never been accused of being a lady
Turn back your clocks
And I will kill you with my metal box
Turn your clocks ahead
And lie with me in my jasmine bed
Leave me in the dust
As you wish
My ID will continue its lust
I am one angry Banshee
I don’t desire money
I crave honey
I need some smiles
It’s been awhile
School me on the wise
Save me from the lies
4/10/07
Friday the 13th
That was a first
she is already in the hospital
so I’ll let her live.
This cunt is so boring
I want to push her really
fast and hard in her wheelchair.
I love this man
I would have given him my uterus
if at the time, I had known he was missing his.
First time I spoke with her
she likes to vent
if I had a Smirnoff Ice, I would give it to her.
Sugary Sweet
I always wonder
how anyone could take her kids away.
I am so fucking embarrassed for him
he bitches way too much
we all just need to get laid.
4/13/07
Ganja Kitty
Takin’ a toke
thinking about my bloke.
Ganja Kitty rocks,
right down to his socks.
He’s my special friend,
with his tasty blend.
May he never want for tuna,
or salmon or herb.
His balance of life undisturbed.
He’s a hep-cool cat,
no doubt ‘bout that
Kick out and jam.
You are the man.

Good Bless Betty Ford
God bless Betty Ford.
She made being an addict chic.
I am not looking for Jesus,
And I am pretty sure he is not looking for me.
It makes me happy to see your face,
from between my legs.
He was half French and half Filipino,
but he looked like an Indian.
Daddy’s little cunt.
Now there is something to stink up your mind.
Should I put it in the refrigerator?
I don’t know shit about wine.
He claimed the Dali Lama tossed his salad.
Well good for him.
Apparently, I am not at peace with myself.
Everybody hates me and I have no rights.
Only two things come from Ohio,
steers and queers.
Which one are you, boy?
I will send you something special soon,
I promise.
Throwing the book at you,
praying you will learn to read.
Je t’aime aussi means I love you too.
I am going to take a bath in red jello,
and smoke cigarettes.
4/14/07 – 4/19/07
Mixed Mediums
Jack of spades,
and the two of hearts.
Look for…
the right one.
On the horizon,
near the shore.
Your colors blend so well.
Speak up…
above the heard.
Trade me smiles,
not just for tonight.
Smells of…
buttery syrupy pancakes.
Seven gems,
under the skull.
Take a rock…
so pretty and free.
Life encased in stone.
Dragons,
and gold within.
Huggers abound.
Share the fire.
Three in Spirit…
one in life.
Paint and wire,
words and seeds.
Coming back to…
Jack of spades,
and the two of hearts.
4/29/07
Killer
I hurt in silence
I hurt under the shower
I scream in the car
I scream underwater
I look for you
I smell you
I remember your soft touch
I remember your smile
Shhhhhh
Hush
Yes
It’s alright now
Soy spaghetti
Vanilla ice cream
An old movie
Time with old friends
I sleep alone
I sleep and I dream
I light candles
I light the fireplace
I throw the cards
I won’t throw out your things
I sift through time
I sift through numb
Shhhhhh
Hush
Yes
It’s alright now

Pills, Chills and Thrills
Pills?
Just take these pills?
To cure all my ills?
Okay, if you insist
I will not resist
I curiously have interest
Seconal, Librium, Elavil
Where are you?
Seems you went out of style
After a while
What can be done?
I can’t ever pronounce the new ones.
I take more pills than someone twice my age
Even more than my sage
I put pretty stickers on my medi-set
It looks so nice
You want some, I bet
I just take colors
Pink and blue
Orange and white
And the big tan one
All part of the sum
Is it time to swallow more happiness and peace?
Will this be my only release?
Salvador Dali said
“I don’t do drugs, I am drugs”
I would have liked to hang out with him
Maybe trade pills for chills and thrills

Utterings Off My Piers
My arm is itchy, like it needs a new burn.
Don’t do it or I will kick your ass.
Hey!
Remember that movie, They Live? Roddy Piper says, “I came here to chew bubblegum and kick
ass. And I am all out of bubblegum.”
Eating celery with peanut butter makes it diet, you know.
Yes, and always eat two pieces of chocolate because the second one cancels out the first one.
Good to know.
Don’t forget to order a large diet Coke with your flesh and fat.
Vodka has to be good for you, it’s made out of potatoes.
Iggy Pop would not friend me on myspace.
Do you believe that shit?
That bastard.
Oh no, I am sorry.
I am so fucking sorry.
If I was married to you I would be just as crazy as you say your husband is, you fucking bitch
parading as the martyr, the supportive spouse, you are a piece of shit that whines.
Just complain away because I do not give a fuck about you or anything you say.
There are more resources than excuses.
If I had the power I would ban you.
Hell, I would ban myself.

Fish Bowl Fantasies
Can you taste it?
Tear at it, tear into it
Ingest its knowledge
Can you touch it?
Feel its small quakes
Blood vibrating in veins
Can you see it?
Bolts of light
Look at it coming
Can you hear it?
Spells and shells aloud
Quiet screams so
Can you smell it?
Instantaneous flashbacks
Scents of hope and doom
Pinpricks
Pinpricks only
My flesh does not give,
away any secrets.
5/14/07
Swimming
Underneath your water
Near to the center
In smooth motion
Velocity found
Endless dreams
Rotating softly
Shine on thee

Ate Sounds
I’ve got you in my sights.
Please show me the sites.
You possess height.
I am simply hyte.
I will mend your tears…
and allow your tears.
I can’t bear it.
I really can not bare it.
My cat to your boar…
ah, bring on your special bore.
I suspect you will have an affect…
not just be my new side effect.
Make me happy by spelling you are as you’re.
I wish to absorb more of your yore.
It is better to accept…
than to settle for the except.
5/21/07
Client
They have to give us medicine
so we won’t kill you or kill ourselves.
That burn on my hand is nothing
compared to the burn on my insides.
We will take the time to help you heal too.
We will listen.
We will love.
We will understand.
They try not to look or touch us
for fear of contagion.
They clip our wings out of fear
and envy.
We will sing you poems and stage our paintings.
We will take the time to help you heal too.
We will listen.
We will love.
We will understand.

Bona Fide
The future will deduce
that our God was Elvis.
I know how to jump rope
I know how to double dutch.
Coffee and cigarettes,
have replaced Tang and Cream of Wheat.
No, as a matter of fact
I think your Barbie is ugly.
Don’t fixate on me
as it makes me yawn.
I listen with my hands
I feel the beat.
It is sad to watch
but I don’t feel sorry for him.
He overcompensates his importance
on every subject.
Cherries are best eaten
right
before the harvest.
Hold my hand
you
won’t catch fire.
