Sculptures of Pleasure
By Wolf Larsen

She looked at me, but there were eyes all over your tongue and your mouth became the new york subway system, she knew I lived in the planet of graveyards, that’s when I shot myself, the surrealists were digging graves, the cubists were re-inventing cities into seas of angles that ate your body, the impressionists were looking for the third rail and then decided to eat buildings, she knew I lived in a twisting spiraling building with 5-foot censored growing out of the walls, I tried to talk to her but construction workers kept erecting walls between us until my censored started growing with carcasses, that’s when all the unstable eyes begin to perverse my brain and a river of fragmented damaged people were devouring subway tracks until your skin started to crack open and paintings leaked out of your corpse until you mind became a volcano of poetry, that’s why everyone tied nooses around their necks and started jumping, otherwise there wouldn’t be happiness, you slid your -----------------------censored--------------------------------- until he smiled, florescent lava drips from all our procreations until our withered corpses lay in caskets, gravestones are sculptures of pleasure

Thank you Mr. Midnight Sun.  You're not in Alaksa by any chance?  I spent a lot of time up there.

LOL, not in AK anymore, though I lived in the Interior, Fox/Fairbanks/North Pole areas for six years, plus a short stay in the Haines area.
And it's MS Midnitesun, not MR.

Oh, my! I need to contact the pharmaceutical company that made the aspirin I took, just prior to reading your poem! I think someone at their plant spiked the formula!

What a fascinating tale from the Dark Side! lol

Welcome to Passions in Poetry!
I hope to see more of your work.

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again...and again...

Thank you all.  

Midnight Sun - that sounds like a fascinating life you had up there.  

I worked on a seasonal basis in and around Dutch Harbor, Alaska for twelve years.

I never went to the interior, the north slope, or the southeast.  I heard a lot about it all from my co-workers.

If you are curious you can check out an excerpt from my novel Unalaska, Alaska.  It comes with pictures.

LOL, I have to tell you...I have a huge yellow raincoat that says Dutch Harbor on it. I got it from a friend who used to work there. Talk about a remote place!
Also, I enjoyed the link to the story exerpt about Unalaska, and it rang some bells...
seems as if most "adventurers" worked for free on those AK fishing boats. and to tell the truth, even in the tourist industry you practically end up working for free. But believe it or not, I am thinking of applying for a job with AMHS, just to take more "Inside Passage" ferry trips.
I must be the village idiot. LOL

Thank you all once again. Your kindness is wonderful!

Midnight Sun - I assume you're talking about the Alaska ferry service.  If that's what you have in mind it sounds great!  I imagine you'll get some new experiences out of it and meet a lot of people.  I assume you'll also get an able bodied seaman's license out of it too if you don't already have one.
