Non licet de hoc verbum divulgare
Si alicui narres, tibi non credat
Desiste ab illo fletu
Siste, inquam
Mi pater, ut quid dereliquisti me?
Quomodo hoc pati possim?
Semper fui servus tuus
Quomodo pati hoc mihi accidere posses?
Puer bone!
Noli me timere....

Curious Couplings

Kneeling afore
while bending over hassock
Hem sweeps the floor
fiddling in his cassock
Cloven-tongued bitches writhing in the halls
as images of fists break through and pull him through the walls
Carrying him aloft he floats atop a sea of arms
that wave and break and finally, succumbing to their charms,
distribute him piecemeal upon the fatal rock
where the trenches flow with blood and the thirsty dead now flock
Circe's pigs are slaughtered for the cannibal's feast
Mercy be my guide, I know not which is man or beast
Calling for more
time feeds upon his reverie
Birthing a spore
thoughts fight to dissever he
First you crawl
Then you stand up
Next you fall
First you crawl
Then you stand up
Next you fall...
Falling down stairs in his sleep
Legs jerk and scramble to keep
some semblence of which end is up
Arm flails, knock over the cup
Crying aloud in the night
Trying to abate his fright
Whimpers and drools, pillows wet
Swimming in pools of his sweat
Slithering along on the floor
Dithering the lock at the door
Praying that they will keep out
Staring awake with a shout
Climbing out from the bed sheet
Beating a hasty retreat
Hiding himself in the hole
Losing all his self-control
Are they calling........... Avé
Are they falling............ Avé
One fast part we're making over now
One last heart we're breaking over thou
Call the climb the falling upwards... how?
All the time, the calling obscured
Ahhhhhhhhh
Kneeling afore
while bending over hassock
Hem sweeps the floor
fiddling in his cassock
Distribute us piecemeal upon the fatal rock
where the trenches flow with blood and the thirsty dead now flock
Circe's pigs are slaughtered for the cannibal's feast
Mercy be my guide, I know not which is man or beast

Measured be the graces
and allotment so minute
All that you are granted
is the right to the pursuit
Take all that you can carry,
fill your pockets to the brim
mind you do not tarry,
time is wearing thin
I can't keep up with the weeds
I can't keep back the ivy
I can't keep up with the weeds
Dust crawls languidly across the floor... Rust bleeds
I can not stem the flow
I know, I know
I can not stem the flow
I know, though....
Measured be the days, be the hours, be the measure,
be the beats by which you measure every moment that you treasure
Guaranteed is seldom more, is little more, is nothing more than this

All, save one, came down the hill
A countenance of crosses
Shorn and shaved, cloaked and grave
An apparition in formation
We stood at the window, Lill and I
and watched them pass in silence
I turned and asked where they'd come from
Lill said they were her new neighbors
All she knew was they'd arrived
two weeks ago last Friday
and every evening at this time
they took their constitutional
I thought they were peculiar
and it wasn't just the face
Though much as I wish there was one
I've never seen a mouthless race
It had something to do with the packets
and seeds and pods on the wall
the hieroglyphics that filled in the spaces
thirty wide and fifty tall
Pericarps I'd never seen the likes of
were thumbtacked all over the place
Though Lill insisted they were native
I was sure the came from outer space
A cocoon-like thing at eye level
had something wriggling inside
Lill laughed and lit up a cigarette
I ran looking for someplace to hide
Sharizan was back in the house
with that woman that I'd brought along
They had hated each other on sight
I should have known that the day would go wrong

Beleaguered by the bellyache of humanity
Sickened by the pain of your stupidity
Questioning once again my own sanity
as I battle once again a known futility
Could I... possibly like you?
Might I... actually care?
Am I... probably like you?
Don't say a word... don't you dare...
Follow me into this pit
I can't see light, if you block it
There is only one way out
Stand aside while I decide
This or that?
Tit or tat?
The sound of my head beating against the wall
is really quite soothing you know, I wish we could all experience
the sound of my head beating against the wall
is really quite soothing you know...
All in the boat together
We had to share the load
We braced for all sorts of weather
and into the sunset we rowed

No reprieve – I can't believe
I won't bereave the memory
And now, now will I be?
Want to lie on the day – none today
One note – now I read
Now one night hardened care
Gone over, wronged I be
Longed for the leaving day – leaving they
'Bye from whose eyes and disguise
bring on who's that are want
in I do remark, I lie beyond
to start it all and then – all again
Only by threes, I walk up high road
I might re-resolve this time
On the far road, I want to
meet no ride in on the day
Lo the day that is now
Cold and night, found is how
On life, I've been wrong about all
Why we're all lost gone?
Wanting I've been blind from
Oh... I need all
For the ride on
I'll be caught on
This diary brought to
Heaven holds us down
All that I've been told
And I've been told

Your smile runs off the photo
As I catch it in the corner of my eye
I start to cry
The colors from the paper
fall into the crack where the wall meets the floor
I walk out the door
The lies you whispered in my ear
were something to behold
and so I put them in a jar
where I could look at them now and then
and shake them up and rattle them
and listen while they beat against the sides
as they tried to break out
People who smile often
aren't necessarily good people, kind people, happy people
They just show their teeth...... big teeth
People who smile often
don't necessarily like you, or want you, or respect you
but oh those lovely teeth...... big teeth
Life just keeps getting better
and everyday is so much more fun than the last
Don't give me that shit
Everything falls together
and it all works out the way that it's supposed to
Don't hold your breath
As I wander among my options,
for to find the lesser of evils,
one is never less enough to make the choice
to lie side by side with, to share the voice and scream
… I'll take the gun

Pay & Learn

Mistook illicit food
He did not balk
Forsook solicitude
Services rendered by the clock
The night spilled like ink
We did not talk
The lights begin to drink the shadows from
the streets down which we walk
Indifference? Or bored?
I could not say
Abstinence ignored
Pay and learn I always say
A pocket hides a stash,
a clip full of bills,
a wad of cash
that greases the tills
Emotions hidden away -◊- That's a good girl
The only game she can play -◊- And you do it well
Who would guess that your pillow was stained by tears?
His body conceded its yield -◊- That's a good boy
A loveless encounter appealed -◊- And you did it well
Who would guess that your actions were strained by fears?
Heels click as they fall
He turns away
Feels sick for tasting all
forbidden fruit that drops along his way

Baby come home to me
Slap me 'round... I'm silly
Show me what I am
Baby truss me up
like the pig I am
Tie me with my hair
Baby I know it's love
when you beat me to a pulp
Show me what I am
I am
I am
I am?

Come... escape the common novelties
Savor illicit delicacies
Indulge and purge to nth degrees
mmmmm
Come... let's seek out new obscenities
Elicit indelicacies
Witness, friends, my atrocities
Step inside now, don't be bashful
Have a look, they're quite an eyeful
My hatred sits here
There you'll find my fears
Please... Meet my distrust
Don't step on my lust!
All my sins I've given form to
Like babes, I've borne and suckled them
Assembled here, now, just for you
They've grown into such lovely beasts
How nice that I can charge to view
Step right up folks, it's so easy
I can teach you to create
living, monster children culled from
greed and lies and hate
Come on in, they won't bite you
Please don't take off in such haste
We'll find something to delight you
You'll acquire the taste
