Starting Out Spurious

Starting Out Spurious

against the red dripping skies
strained through the coarse
you fear the freedom of utopia

intractable green eyes
the strangest of superstitions
hitting every red light

provided moral center
counting the licks
feeling each tick

a throat strong and proven
touching the wishful body
governed by riddled tombs

each bowed as placid dreams
hate is that shaggy animal
the thawed flesh of agreement

smoothed over by the parts
a hungry arrival
this is not light

cracking open the bones
extracting the marrow
more ropes blanching

spread through the hurt
she runs backwards
with hostile eyes

fuzzy peach

Fuzzy Peach

slowly fade
into the pale
like a lewd dream
a Hemingway café
cigarettes and coffee
contorted relationships
haunted by the tibia
obstinate limbs
a tired bowl of things
out living the chains
inconsistent arms
the Sun with purple eyes
inspired bleeding lips
half under the curse
her half body of light
shines upon the rooftop
the same dirty knees
as your mother
sobs through the out door
unsure of the heart’s prize
a plastic melted graveyard
where the fuzzy peach met its demise
