I watch
the home girl glide
her stride
wafting perfume
inhaling fornication

Her scent holds
a hollow musk
from the reused beds
of lost flop coffins

Passing by me
she smiles
through Jesus thorns
and over-painted regret

As I pull another
purple swallow
my mind ejaculates
anticlimax
on the matrix faces
of the sycophantic crowd

Wow, Billy, this blew me away.

but which way the wind blows

OMG this is extremely thick and I sit here dumbfounded wondering how I am ever going to write again.

Truly amazing.

Thanks, littlewing.

Though I am very flattered by your comment, I have to say that it is something I've said to myself about your writes as well.

"Jesus thorns"..." "over-painted regret"... "matrix faces"... "sychophantic crowd"...

I dunno how you do it!~! Simply intense! What an alleyway, huh? Great writing, Coyote!

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
