I’d decided that I liked her And I wanted to show her. So I called up a shop And proudly bought A pound of red roses. But by the time The Delivery Kid arrived, Our moment was over… But that was my mistake, For placing faith In a call-in order… When what I really should […]

You and I… We got something so sweet. I offer Solid Chocolate, you holler for me. Little Sugar Cookie, I can keep you off your feet. We feed each other, Because there is no hunger That can’t be cured by the careful lover… No matter how you crumble. I only wanna… break you off. I […]

My Baby, come close And Papa will tell you Of a miracle you may not believe; Your Grandmother’s Grandfather Did build our home From the bones Of a long-charmed tree. And when Papa was snared By the ills of the night, Those hallowed walls did twist their knots With inspired precision, Into grotesque impressions Of […]

THE BEAST I BECOME IS ACTIVATED, FULLY AWAKENED BLINDED, AND HOPELESSLY INUNDATED BY THE JUICE OF THE FRUIT THAT IS HANGING LOW BETWEEN HER SHAKING LIMBS… AS MY WINGS FOLD, AS MY HALO DIMS.

Will it move you if I illustrate? Will it reach you if I pray? Can I speak straight to your soul, and convince your heart to stay? Maybe get into your head and plant a little seed, water it each day, and raise it up into a tree. Apples, peaches, avocados and grapes, the land […]
