The New Old Bohemia Blues (Parts I & II)


I.
boy that light
how fine does come
yours the pillar
mine the silt

let down, poetically
like timber
by your holy voicebox
eyes or feet
whatever

dont run away
even slowly

am i your reason
this cryptic teething
long winters and the promise of that pane

your night will be ours
when nature forces silence
we'll have in common
these little fires

bitch delilah,
whisper
between my knees
of a simpler distance

hopes of a fool
hung on the breeze
dont render this rebirth so terribly
you the patient

flame three, behind two doors hide
say it out loud
that we owe it all to process and process of elimination
dim vision, pissed pupil
its hard to be easy with you

the thin line we're back to
now our first letters period
fixed so tight in the mirrow of the muse absolving,
in the pale overtime,
you are the color of night

once, i damned those streets
now i walk and whisper
birth me in secret or deny me in the garden

through conifer i scream
almost ready to lose
i'll take scandal lying down

II.
oh quondam
relativist absurd
these tenses are only politics

when that long candle burns
i too am with another boy
asleep by the window
the water reminds me of your sex

another dream: i had you on the hallows table

night of reminiscence
she only cries, lonely
alone and unguided
pounding
pounding
in deep night only the bright is incoming

season of vex, show yourself
hold me down and show yourself
in good waters - shallow, we'll tread too deep
i was never true but i'm charged to be it
|||
crayon outline of your dramaticism
by three quarter moon
flares of skin fall
in these flakes a balance
the electric bulb lights this
thin and deep
casting the light on no sleep
us, the only conspirators
|||
dire poppy
bear me
there are a thousand hopes in your harbor
waiting and saying
nevermind compomise
lets diffuse the feeling

in a plain view i make you out to be what saves me
a bone in dirt is obvious
