An Image that Moves Me
Commercial Break
Powerhouse
In the turn of the leaf, w/ a deft turn of cheek
I gargled on the cheap Italian cock that tattooed
the back of my throat, deliciously
slipping each viral drop of perversion
Had I,
now arrived the queen of Folsom?
Glittering in steamy white concoction, dewy eyed
A fetish of a fetish on a fetish
Whatever happened happened, and the exchange of brides white milt
lavished the red lane I possessed
And as my halo sizzled into cosmic bliss
I fell into the hollow nightwing
Giddy, gracious, and golden.

Favorite Object?
This one morning when I was about 7 years old, my family lived in Cleveland heights, me and my brother went out in our front lawn to play and there was garbage all over the place. There were old lighters, cigarette packs and this very strangely decorated wood handle. I remember picking up this weird wood object and felt that it was deceivingly heavy. In the middle of the object is a metal clasp that I pulled apart, realizing what was inside was a large dagger, the blade was very dull and it had an interesting shape. My brother and I joked around about it being a discarded murder tool. My mom eventually caught us throwing it at trees trying to make it stick, and she confiscated it. I later found it in her dresser after she had been handicapped from a brain aneurism, I was searching for my birth certificate she had hidden away. I’ve slept with this object next to my bed for 15yrs or so now and I believe its charged by memory and imagination to keep me safe in the dream realm.
