Promises

(tweeted 3.9.2014)

I’ll not destroy them all but some
I’ll set aside and send a Son
whose body they’ll be damned to break;
in blood I’ll bid them to partake.

(tweeted 3.6.2014)

Through rows of facing backstrips
My fingers trace monuments
rigid and spine’d,
touching the untouchable
I am haunted and moved.

Every time I raise my mask
I see monsters.
I’d rather play the zombie,
camouflaged, walking dead.

No Mirror

Essential to reflection:
the absence of a mirror.
Truth free of projection
is eloquent and clear.

stands the bigot; falls the fool.

They say you were a bad bad man
and I believe it’s true
You cheated us at checkers
you have to jump, you do!
