Never Mind-

Winding pain again through
knee caps bending men
and sleeves that dangle baby's breath
Instinct knotting veins from
foggy stains lain in lovers' graves.

Callous-

Empty riots, hazy silence quite contagious
Heels to the sky and climbing faux faces
Surrogate lovers losing whim and others
Good-byes wrapped in flannel losing focus.

Moon-

Black lashes fight amphetamines
Plastic bombshells pouring whiskey
Teardrops wiping frigid rhythms
Stuck stilettos in the mud
Dread electric fumes forbidding fists
Hand me down graffiti twisting lips
Shredding fingertips and haunting grips
Blinking through the fog and
Wishing bodies warm with dust.
