apparitional, fictional,
spectral, figmental,
delusive, illusive,
abstract, unreal,
imagined, un-bodied.
You, on your steady subtractive diet,
crossing your ankles in a subway car,
you can write beneath the footbridge,
"I was never here, "
but it will never be true. So be whole.

Taken, Not Found
These days I hold my anger
beneath my tongue like a charm.
Spent all my nights pining
for joy like some left lover.
beneath my tongue like a charm.
Spent all my nights pining
for joy like some left lover.
[The griefmongers hoist up their billyclubs
The griefmongers howl from the satellites
The griefmongers polish collection plates
The griefmongers sleep soundly every night]
The griefmongers howl from the satellites
The griefmongers polish collection plates
The griefmongers sleep soundly every night]
These days I realize
happiness must be taken,
pried from between smashed knuckles,
pulled from between gritted teeth.
happiness must be taken,
pried from between smashed knuckles,
pulled from between gritted teeth.
