“love will tear us apart”
….it was all that and everything so very much it bursts the veins sprouting god passion vomiting volcano of red red rosy life snapping the vertebrae twiglike calibrated to such weak vessels driftingly tossed open into cursed cursed love.

breathtaking! strange fruit hanging from the cobbler trees…
…and forbidden fruit dropping onto the cobble stone streets. thx!
very unusual, very interesting
there is something here that’s different from your other poems. I’m not quite sure what it is.
You’re surely correct. This was written straight from Facebook posts on videos of Joy Division songs. Sorta a wierd way to write and not at all how i usually write. Material was based on a situation my mind was grappling/suffering with but inspired/brought to words thru the music. A lot more v i s u a l poetry tricks here than i usually care to play with and the style is variant from how i usually express myself in. Most times i’ll take an idea and with much scrupulizing determine if the idiom/expression is too cliche’ and then take it 2-3 generations in evolution to make something as mindblowing and original as i can. Here i was content to leave the expression at its starting point to ensure sincerity to the actual thought and emotion since that took precedence and to maintain a truthfulness to the stream of consciousness and first thought. Thx for reading.
OH i just realised i meant poplar. ( :

..in there around twists was your century 21 ol’ yeller
haus down the street from so many beds and breakfasts
i pass by a freshly mowed lawn with white jeep and
black hummer in the drive. bricks put together with the
cum of fairies and dream spittle…
sugarpop tunes blast across our rooms bouncing like underwater.
we grew outta each other … your ‘Z’ shutters are drilled into
plaster that will never never give ..
your backyard lights hold back a manicured sun
my Mack brights run a gauntlet of dust and bugs
guts splattering into the country air which bears
the fragrance of all things that fade…
dead souls

‘what kind of rock are you?’ she asked.
‘i keep a pocketful’, i replied.
tougher than marble for beatings..
slick as lime for skipping across lakes of fire..
sandstone for when i wanna rub off on people at beer gardens.
But you’re hard as ruby and it beats where your dumb blonde heart was..
..fashion a quarry to make walls for cemeteries and gravemarkers..
..turn a blind eye to life and you’re sure to find peace like the dead souls who garble into dirt.
isolation

The numb er one prayer was t o be left a lone
so that is what he did
toss ing horse shoes in to skeeball slots
buffing the specs outside the win dow
real I zing it ‘ s in
there ‘ s a hum that goes along to a thrashing tune
fit in g the tie to that one sock pup pet
hop ping to the notes that wail across from
1ne a not her.
