Bark ripped, ax blade heart
Hate harridan, blamer, badgerer, baby-cutting, twice-barbed tongue kisser
86 toxic years too many

dusty shack slunk on hill
2 many cars come and go
i arm in silence

Troopers choked in bramble memory, jungle-wrapped fences, seats and track burst with rusted racers.
Ghosted in silent shrine.
Voices roared once, hearts leapt, sweat stung, winners and losers gone to distant grey forever lights.

Dream hard-edged flashes
Teacup shattered memories of
Brittle bric-a-brac
QUICK, QUICK, QUICK
Glue the shards
Paste hopes and still-born dreams
Daylight brings leaking, scarred
Headaches
Sleep never kind nor whole

LA (dash) A won’t pay rent at the flea market no more there’s no money in weaves they ain’t come to the store
Told Jose the Collector he could get bent she don’t got the cash she ain’t got the rent
Jose worked up at night a very quick plan and robbed her locked booth with his old buddy Stan
They grabbed all the falls, the hairpieces and wigs selling out of their cars with their other pal Riggs
LA (dash) A got told that them selling her stock and shot both Jose and Stan in the cock
Riggs pulled a niner and killed LA (dash) A dead at the funeral her own wigs done covered her head

She stalks in bleach brittle blame
Knowing each button to push – to shame
Tears flow with easy twist
Eagles glare, her subtle wrist
Twisting each ask in painful glory
We bend easy to her folly

breaking fast, a knock on the glass opened the door
earth worn and stumble footed, he croaked, ‘gotta smoke?’ black fingers at cracked lips, smiling yellow
i shut the door, blinding sight my own lungs aching
all the smoke i need inside

drag to the wet street smashed cans and spoiled meat
discards hope and care broken bottles clumps of hair
standing sentinel of waste my early morning haste
to share loss dirt and grief unnecessary sheaf
of what I leave behind ejecta of my mind

Sly worm, unbind me
Forcing abayance to your throne
Brown waves crash upon the sea
Myself, my body own
Prostate to demand
I obey your black command
