more poems from the odyysey

Hey guys, it's been some time in between my posts, and all I can say is, life is hard, busy, fun, disappointing, pragmatic, not pragmatic at all, and endearing. Okay, to make up for the long wait, here's a new poetic series I wrote recently in its entirety. And check out: bohococo.blogspot.com, too, because November means it's time to start posting again. And there's going to be a Boho Coco reading at Co-Lab this November 17th (at 7:30) as part of the E.A.S.T. 2009 studio tour. Cool!

killer: yeah

yeah
killer
come
get me,

I want my toes bitten
off
and sacrificed.

there is no
love
that is not love.
no taste
that is not
taste.

come to me,
wear your red candles,

I’ll wear my
opals and my
trousers and
I’ll
scream.


















killer: third day

on the third
day
you’ll
take
me
to the riviera
and
we’ll light tiny
paper ships
aflame
and
set them in the stream.

take me back
into
the wooden cottage,
slay
me,

drink a bottle of port
and
go to
sleep.



















killer: cologne

a French
named
sing songy
type

came around
the corner
wearing
a cummerbund

and waded deep
into
the crowd of strangers.

if my hand is raised

obligatory

take away the night
in
my
fingers

and down down the alley
go

like a messenger
doused
in
cologne.












killer: babe

I’ll
be sunshine

on
the beach blanket.

go go

dance in the sand

a
beach
a dune

too much glare

the killer
sets to work
and

orchestrates a volley ball match





















killer: scissors

fall
down
the landing.

wear a blazer.

take time
to

be a bandit.

cut with scissors.






























killer: Halloween

he wore the monkey
suit,
she a barbarian,

and they collected candy
from strangers.

later,
in the midst of a spree,

the two fornicated on a veranda
floating in
space.

they tossed peanut butter trinkets
into the night
and
touched mask to mask.
























killer: blabbermouth

talk
the storm of storms
into

existence,
but
the killer
sneaks around,

slip slash,

down you go.

sleep a good sleep.
live
in
the terrarium.
