"Mr Burroughs, like a dead dog, staring through London night in a heroin haze" ------------------------ Fall down on the street crawl from the beat from gutters take stance Juism flows of ageing descent. The canine teeth are out for us still frozen cranks of glitter faced drunks foaming wildly flickering memory to youthful play, knawing at the parents breast. Femme beau anorexic patrol the alleys, parade as wireframe sniffing for the needle dance; suck the marrow from your love the mute dog chews the clit whisper of infected intelluct. Kiss the dead dogs, muzzles prozac Kill the neck cats pleasing all unaware of pleasures price. Decadence marks the mind elevating beyond morality. THE SNARL OF GOD. dogs moan mute men dumb ones dead dogs feed our frenzy- us urban parasites today and all nights. ----------------------------------------------- There couldn't be a society of people who didn't dream. They'd be dead in two weeks. William S. Burroughs "across the unfair divide where black will never meet white so read my token lips like they never exist" nicky wire [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 05-20-2001).] |

Oh, dear Brian. This sounds like a terrible place to live. And I get lonely sometimes with my cats and my flowers, but I guess I'll stay here. Joyce |

An interesting read, you express yourself well, but I do hope your life is not all darkness. Not to treat your subject matter lightly, this reminds me of a time my children came running home and told me there was a dead dog lying on the local church's front steps. They wanted me to come and see so we approached the church and sure enough a dog lay outstretched, flies buzzing all around him, looking as dead as dead could be, as we approached him to look a little closer, he suddenly rose to his feet, startling us and and the same time giving us a good laugh. I wish you peace and love and laughter. |

Joyce, well I guess the place is any major city. That is what I was reflecting in the poem, in my mind at least the poem is partly a comment on the heroin problem in Ireland it is also about general excess. There is a kind of a beat/glam rock vibe going through the poem as well. Mark Bolan (T-REX) meets Burroughs. Thanks for your very kind comments. mistyrose, thanks smiles for your very kind words. Xeonox, thanks but without offence to dark forum I think the poem would be viewed ina different light if posted there, labelled almost in a way I don't want the piece to be. Songbird, it is not a personal poem, more voyeurism. It is terrible to see animals suffer it is even more terrible to see humans suffer. thank you for your kind words "across the unfair divide |
