		<description>The Empire of Darkened Dreams   beside the stool where the fat girl sat on a pile of year-old-newspaper i see the torn and tattered edge of map that delineates each kingdom here in hell.   her rolls of fat are arched in tenement glee -- with a dozen wads of loogie green drying in the mumu there beneath her thick empty dead pale arms  her stringy greasy black hair wades down from stressed scalp to  half-way down her short round-edged back to frame the picture of discontent and impending happiness stretched thin in an oak box.  I say nothing at the ... more  </description>

		<description>on the river where the brown boy sinks his line
for carp and the adulation of his grandfather
i remember such tans on my pale white skin
and sunsets mourning my half-spent youth

nearby the water drops 3 meters, maybe
more  after a thick july thunder or an angry march
in the growl of white mountains

the boy glances at me and half-nods, fearless
though I am large and hairy, possibly more evil
than any one he has ever met,

and smiles.

I smile back,&quot;Good luck.&quot; </description>

i wallowed in blood for a half-hour
before I got up to puke orange juice
and mucus --
the pity?
Only that you were disturbed
as i wretched and called for God.

Each word in my head rang 
with that same scarlet blazing
through sunset and that prism 
7:18p.m. July 14th, 1977

these two moments:
{ heaven hell } 
juxtaposed for my fevered
delight here by the toilet
here on the bed
the bial in my throat again.

I get up to jot this thought down
but it is thoughtless of me
as you lay in bed half-awake
aware only that I have left
again to let you suffer alone.


these two moments:
{ heaven hell }
juxtaposed in your twilight
dreams there by my pillow
there on my bed
the bial in your heart again.

You will never understand that sunset,
I don't think.  ... more  </description>

the first bowling ball i ever selected
was marble blue, though i prefer green

he is in my heart though, and what i want
means nothing to me, because I can not have that

except at night when i dream of him still young
on the dock just moments after sunset

holding a cheap brown pole and telling me 
the same stories of his outhouse on the farm.

even blue misses though, the years have passed
with him and everything else changes </description>

I awoke to your face again and marveled 
how i'd forgotten you overnight.
in a blistering of stars upon my best blasphemy
i swore oaths, took vows, and spent them all
for faithlessness, for futility, and fear

Like any angry heathen, I thought heaven was hope
and happiness now -- in every bad dream
it seems that way, I think.

But I awoke, and your face, again 
was God in a tiara of crescent moon bliss, necklaced by
the creased smiles of our own baptized babes
I reswore my oaths, i prayed my vows and saved them up
in that endless black well of my soul so unfit for you
my holy love. For faith. For fearlessness. For You.

Like any angry heathen, I search for heaven 
for happiness -- and perhaps even a heathen can have
this one good dream  ... more  </description>

		<description>silence engulfed the room
but softly in red velvet
she said nothing then

we gazed along laziness
and wretched whispers
pleased by her warmth

this too shall pass, she
cackled cold chaos
whilst the room wept

tears of quiet. forlorn?
no, not that un
just enraptured filth

pithy, i thought
so witty and ruthless
here coughing in

engulfed, not ensconced
in oak in epiphany
in purple and mute laughter </description>

i heard a whisper from a mousy man
in a half-dreamt dream i slept last night
that my destiney was born four hundred years ago
on a frigate out of Dover sunk full of black tea
in a bad storm near Madagascar 

To swim, it seems
is hopless. 

To sink, 
was done
and long forgotten.

He laughed
