poetry time


Here are some more poems for your face (and yes the post title isn't very good, but come on, it's Father's Day, give me a break; I'm busy playing with my kids).

ps. I don't have any kids!!!


untitled 4396


Zelda began to read

the lines

of the newspaper

when her father

he falls

the length

of the glass

door

but his hips so old

devise

new ways

of smash

smash.

a brick and a body

my

flesh of two ton

steel

so she says the beginnings

of the day



untitled 4395


the king of the dogs

out growling

in their

cages

out white against the post

some

women who ride the bus

shake in the

back

with frost

and

it is us.

we are them




untitled 4393


to believe oh the saying

goes

in pirates

shooting of staple guns

the essence of

his love

is to be a large stone edifice

of

nothing

shriek

across the bay

about

about

all young men trawling coffee

trails into

their nightly apartments

and

smashing their lightbulbs with screwdrivers
