a mile of sidewalk

Messiah is the blazon on my back,
which is where it leaves me.
Listening to the devil's music,
the speakers keep my ears warm from the wind.
Snow and leaves are falling at the same time.
Every house I pass has forgotten
each basement holds souls captive.
Shrines to death decorate porches
where people have become skeletons
waiting for salvation.

There is no time


All this car needs is a roof rack and a few fly rods. Then give me my waders, pipe, and a Guiness... riverside.

ropes have ends.

ropes have ends
from which people hang
by their necks
or with their hands
over cliffs and above fiery
bonfires
at which others sit
and make merry
eating vile sugar pillows
with melted chocolate.
and crackers.
