That Broken Glass Smileshe said show me that broken glass smile  the city she doesn't need your pity  she's been this way for a while  in the swarthy light of a chloroform dream  we'll laugh and clatter through the smoke and steam  beauty rots faster than ugly  they say that you are said unsaid if spoken suddenly  
tell me that talk that can't be heard  lights lights, lost pilgrims, burning birds  the car fire warmth is the saddest I've felt  the white cold metal buckle seat belt  the eye flash in the endless mirror  a light in a tunnel or a fly in your beer?  show me that broken glass smile. That Broken Glass Smile

They Don't Sleep AnymoreThey don't sleep anymore on the beach  The water is deep and reaches up for the sky  te sky is red, it's blinking off and on again   
Im standing in the cold tide  Empty blankets wrap themselves about my feet  they were once so warm   
This is where I held her  In the dark sand I felt her hair  like seaweed through my fingers   
 
Meow meow!  
Hey, cat, you interrupted my shitty poem!  Meow!  I'm not a big fan of you, cat.  Meow?  Don't "meow?" me, you interrupting-type cat!   
I don't sleep anymore on the beach  The lighthouse sweeps a se They Don't Sleep Anymore

ObserverFrom my former windows I used to watch you  walking calm and collected  in the incidental dusk.  I watched your boyfriends change  with every careless phase of the moon.  I watched your breath materialize  into something I could touch.   
Yes, your hair was grasping for some latent Athenian truth  it's true,  whether you knew it or not.  Wolves mirrored your footsteps from a thousand forests away,  and an owl's heart beat in perfect time  with the ticking of your watch.   
Like every dark house that lines this street  my eyes are windows with heavy locks. Observer

Untitled for a Lonely NightBlue stars reeling in the red, red sky  the city is an afterthought  that burns faintly in your eyes   
Somewhere in the distance  between our bony fingers  a cold spark ignites a memory:   
You sitting in a pool half full  gazing at the summer night  and feeling Neptune's pull  a parade of slow dramas  march across your face  and the night becomes a road  that leads everywhere but home   
The night becomes a road  
that leads you to this place Untitled for a Lonely Night

Call for a wailcut my shins with the magnets, run while the stars are being cut down from  the skies.  
boiling at sea, we ride with sails.  My heart beating for a trimbling nerve at the bottom of my feet.  I felt a curve in the sound of your voice, strange the way it glisens  in the light.  We burned down the town for a search light.  We fell deeply in love with the hunger that dances in  our shadows  when we come near to the flames of our crashing bodies.  it dances in our eyes when we fall victim to our prey.  Silver eyes in round holes, I drempt I hid a voice in the eyes of a new  born bab Call for a wail

Murderous IntentGazing out my window, midnight comes and goes  Yet still there sits the police officer on his motorcycle  Unmoving, unblinking, unthinking  A Duplo man.   
I hear Kansas.  a guitar solo...  A mighty axe, all alone   
Foam novelty shoes make complement my ponderings  How to kill that immortal beast...to end its eternal threat...   
The greatest minds of the day say it cannot be done.  Yet middle school kids do it constantly.  How to stop it?  How to kill it?  That's what I need to know!   
Wind.  "I've still got my soul"  "Ha! Got yer nose! Murderous Intent

Hiding Under Deepening ShadesLook at the sunlight  As it filters through the tall grasses  With tufted ends like quill pens  Lions’ tails and kangaroo mice  Waving in the wind   
I’m hiding from you  While you stay in the building  Just beyond the field  I’ll wait in the grass until you leave  And I’ll sit under the barren branches  Of trees and power poles  They stretch as far as they can  To reach that great blue expanse  And the pale yellow sun  With slight sepia rings  A single dot of white  That could be a lonely star  An antisocial cloud  Or a mark on a photograph  & Hiding Under Deepening Shades

The Death Of Long Pastthe ones that sat in sight the ones we thought we would remember.   
A statue is crumbling with the husk of night   
A silhouette is hiding with its dreams and within you get this slowly sinking   
Feeling, a blood curdling shriek.   
You wake up, both cold and warm from the sun that burns your body. The Death Of Long Past

Yarrr!!!...
Yeah, I'm a pirate. What of it?
Actually I'm just frustrated. Yesterday, I got into some charcoal and had me an art explosion. I actually managed to crank out two pieces that I'm somewhat proud of... but I can't post the damn things here because I don't have a scanner. One of them is called Unnatural Nature Uncaught on Film,
and the other (the one I'm more happy with) is called Grody Sweets. Based on the titles, try to picture what they would look like in your head. There.
I'm not posting any poetry because apparantly what little poetry writing skill I had got flushed down the toilet.
