‘jameson’
i’ll force another shot
down my throat
but not your ignorance.

‘plague’
plague to my mind;
you’ve stolen every last
vestige once sterile
if by chance
a cure is found
i’d rather rot
than be rehabilitated
by your madness.

‘quiet breakfast, not’
caffeine bathes cold eggs
old ladies warble behind me
hair color appointments and my
how the grandkids are getting so big.
i wonder if the chickens
were antibiotic fed.

‘recycled’
again and again you trash me
still i dream to be recycled;
one day perhaps
i’ll be taken from the barrel
one day perhaps
i’ll be top of the heap.

‘perspective from here’
from the brim
these legs carry
the residue of
memories erased
dreams yet realized
you see this glass
empty, while i brimming
with potential
another drink, please;
the lure of hope, illusion
resurrects me.

‘of a darker art’
got hell in mouth
devil on tongue
voodoo mama on brain
demon in heart
dig bones from dirt
bury spleens in hearth
keep gris-gris round neck
darkness never part
won’t sell this spell
steal your charm
tongue flick tail rattle, baby
yeah, snake round arm
got hell in mouth
devil on tongue
voodoo mama on brain
you the demon in my heart.

‘advice’
if i had one thing to share
one bit of advice to give
it would be get away from me
run for the hills
i’m bad news, baby
i’m no good.
