the shadow and me, another mixed up reference

Posted to Action Poetry




"you bastard!
you
took
chris"

the waves wash over him still black on black
salty winds and the call of seagulls or
sireanes

the shadow was silent
kicking over the ashtray

"WHY!!!!!
my mom allmost
killed
her-
self
you took celest in the bloom of youth"

she slips through keyholes late at night
she has the stars in her hair
awake
se levante

the shadow sat still, smoking
my pall-malls and diging through my books
not putting them back right

"look, you'v caused enough trouble
you and your kin
sickness
age
rage
rape"

death drank all my guniss
and left without a word
