methamphetamine

the moon
yellow
sulfur sweat; pore distilled
the final product of the amateur meth man
and his matches
it seems the straight road is twisted
shaking
this road is crisco
to less than gentle backwards intrusion
contusion
bleeding
***
corrosion
oxygen on barbed wire
not quite a crimson; the red
cut up tangled in it
a rural hillside field lost
to the machinations of a prolific
and expansive
positive charged urban sprawl
***
tetanus
sealed lips don’t speak to the cops
even though
sleepless eyes
trying to make sense out of a road that’s
never where you left it after you blink
tend to remember things
they should know
***
sex
and self-medication
I’m only not even certain
in the answer that seems to lie
somewhere
between
the forgotten barbs of rusted hillsides
and the feral cat’s fishbone city
***
hidden sickness
sneering sex
little boy hiding in a church
charity box
blown open irises
singing
father father father
where art thou
spike collar
leather robe
pulled up
catholic dominatrix
passing his discretion
like squatting on cold porcelain
some kind of tattered satisfaction
looking into those
young
drugged
pupil owned
eyes
like the toilet
a swirling place to deposit a little emptiness
***
seems to drip
the light of the moon;
down
like acetone eating through
plastic beakers
the way caustic memory
touches
only slightly
the surface of my patent reality
ripples that are quite reminiscent
of the still dry air inside
locked church charity box
***
sleep takes me like coffin dust
dreams screaming
childish want to leave the light on
though it only shows
attic in twilight bright
just enough to reflect off your teeth
and add a strange luminescent
green
will ‘o the wisp
sheen to your twisted pheromone
i know you’ll treat me like i like it

Somehow, amongst all your frivolous bullshit; there be some quality- some matter to mention. But, what comes too soon is credit you’ve ruined, with ‘Crisco’ filler and ‘Backwards Intrusion.”
