I knew a guy like you once
and I didn’t believe him either
most people that pass through this
c shaped cell
need a search warrant
or a nights stay
at the central rehab analysis center
that’s why I stay indoors
or invariably visit the garden
that I manicure like a set of steak knives
to get in touch with the slumbering beast
would require a lot of groundwork
and I am too heavily into the skylight
for that
every night I drink
750ml of vodka
and varying amounts of discolorations
my liver keeps pace with a silent dedication
that I find more warming than anything
any woman has ever been able to convey
I know that one day
I will walk among the dead
as an equal
but in the mean time
I plan on shoveling
barrels of coal
onto the bonfire
making love to women
ten years my junior
with all the appropriate fury
and leaving as much dust in my trail
as a chariot racing against an inferno

satin bandages
tatter the wound into a poetic falsehood
but don’t misplace my blood type
my essential fluids are running thinner
than a piano string
slower than
a apology from a woman who
has corralled your animus
