-There was nothing left for you-
The vipers hid your body Piece by piece As they crawled out From their apathetic nest
My womb was S C R E A M I N G

Bones, Salt and Stomach AcidThere are Granules of sand caught in my scalp Fingers rough with salt Sticky also, With sea water and sweat And some acidic stains Of last nights vodka (lemon lime)Bones, Salt and Stomach Acid

The Ambivalent DepthCalm, calm, calm The ocean waves are still so calmThe Ambivalent Depth
Level and continuous We have learned
To never trust the Calm
Stout tears of grey Rolling from eyes of hazy angels Which plunge deeper than
They ever should
One, two, three, four I can see the rain is going to pour And drown In a black subterranean void
The murky Panther licks His sandy lips Watching and glinting Lying cool and flat Before the hog falls and bows And for the cat he bleeds

SmokeThe air is thick as honeySmoke
and Pours orange dapples
On a dusty ground.

I like to contemplate you.
Coarse and familiar Woody, musky and dangerous You too, take my breath away.
