074: Untitled

Half life is committed
to cardboard coffins,
spiced up with made up memories
of an event horizon
reached,
nights scarred
in teeth of dawn
and the barking of insomniac dogs.

Concrete miles of
alien crowds,
they ripped away the folds
from the milk white cheeks
of being alone,
the selfish snowman,
lost in Rome,
pouting with a left elbow raised;
enemy sun will burn the tears
and the coat hangers
of fragile flesh.

It's the same old cry,
chewing at pages
of twisted prose and awkward lines,
just a different voice,
bruised by cigarette smoke -
fear of silence keeps it awake
or is it
the most bittersweet lie.

053: The spill

From barrens to deserts,

partaking clockwork migrations,

bacilli of a tectonic world that crumbles slowly,

back to the frozen sweat of the void.

Black hole heavy logs

intersect at right angles,

where my mind falters and my skin knows not,

rabid titans' tug of war,

the phantom of order scared by destiny's scythe.

Fugitive patterns, dismantled by the wind,

wrote the story of a new dawn

on a cold prison wall,

lavishly eroded by the nails of left hands.

A sole beacon, in the distance,

a man's seductive blind rage,

spilled and scattered

to the heart rhythm of carrion calls.

I hang on dark clouds, disseminated

at the crossroads of free fall trajectories,

scribing a single word

on antique rotting bricks

from the ruin of a golden promise;

I'll espouse dusted bones in my flea bed,

upon a mattress of tentacles,

intertwined fingers - starving grubs,

shaping what used to be a perfect body,

long before the illusion faded.

Electronics

ring the wake.

Methods to the chaos,

ideation in red,

beneath the ground,

sexual,

like Mishima's Mustang.

The people.

The noise.

Inhale deeply,

to the end of the earth;

crawl

across nails and needles.

Storms,

gentle violence.

Heart of the world,

the word,

hanging, descending;

let it land.

Heroes of isolation

crowd together,

pallbearing

the last sweeter self.

Never was I

more alive.

051: Februarie jalnic

The day the sentient beast discerns

the polar desert of its loneliness,

the day volcanoes of revolutions erupt

in the obsidian silence of love,

drugged for an everlasting presence

attainable like the surface of the sun,

lost in treasure maps to the grail of the high

that makes all the lows seem breadcrumbs in a trail

in the obsessional ravines of pale concrete

and seasonal affective crucifixions,

raging, frothing, spitting, pineal bathed in venom,

straining the unlengthy chain.

A day, a trip through empty glacier halls,

where footsteps count the years

along meanders decaying gently like snowfall,

observe - the colors of the rainbow are all black,

divine symphony played on chords of leaflike lives,

trying to break the code of an error syntax.

The day today is every yesterday and every tomorrow,

serpent godfather at the head of the table,

his own tail on a silver platter as main course,

all the while Cronus keeps gnawing on his children,

building a shrine of strength on pearly bones,

a bleak February in the microscope of solar winds,

today is just another day.
