the
last sin |
|
|
 |
|
| |
pale ashen sky
a bleary eye
clouds of recurring screams... |
|
|
|
i
am a zoo |
|
|
|
|
| |
an octopus leviathan
tentacles into an ocean
of unformed emotions... |
|
|
|
syphilis
and love |
|
|
|
|
| |
syphilitic pall
stifles the clear blue
i contort... |
|
|
|
shell
and pearl |
|
|
|
|
| |
amidst highs and lows
in life's ocean flows
a shell peony-mouthed... |
|
|
|
i
am an unmarried mother
|
|
|
|
|
| |
fed on stings
of barbed milk morality
my child-plankton... |
|
|
|
the
lovers |
|
|
|
|
| |
cell upon cell
bridge of their union
hung on the pillars... |
|
|
|
rebirth |
|
|
|
|
| |
ogre of age
and time cavil
at a warm picture... |
|
|
|
the
young today |
|
|
|
|
| |
innocence thaws
at the altar
of ambition... |
|
|
|
|
|
the beggar
` a scourge on society’
a mendicant approaches me
his deep-set eyes lit
with dying flickers
his ragged body
bows obsequiously
his broken parched lips
pleading suffering and prayers
my branded soul
twitches a little awhile
then turn away
i fear to look into the hell of his eyes
that i have created
|
