tiger shade
whorls jade
gaunt jaundice
rust cigarette stains
in a pail
an empty mop
oiled walls
glistening
pink brandy
city breathes
through the
storm
color candy
long limbed
the distant
stations
hiss
the baleful
conditions
untested
love b lighted
and like a parade
silenced
a shadow
moves
sweet
as carrion
the cough
wracked drum
beat
the stillness
in the room
shadows falling
like vacant
stars
open as a grave
just a drive
beyond love
beyond a breath
beholden

its about junkies and overdoses...poverty and winter...
beautiful ruin...horrendous near misses...sexual drivetrains...
selling drugs and bodies for fuel....stealing food and getting out of jail..
scars from battles...needle tracks on arms meant for angels and wings..
a deep sadness and loss and choices......the exstacy of horrible deeds
for that knowing rush coming..the rush of meeting the dealers...the evil
things by well off people of the community that treat the poor and the victims
worth then they would a dog...secrets....the true life of a poet is not nice..rich or poor sometimes.......i know people who have beat addiction..lost lost everything and brought back from the brink.....and that sadness that love never keeps safe....and how love saves......love heals brokeness sometimes.......i think thats what this one is about....
