Poetic machines

Attach an identity to a boat and all together we are lonely looking for the next thrill.

Hub Cap Moon

Inside a chrome shell hides a heart of spinning metal.
Glowing coils ignite and reduce a fossil to carbon farting out the soot of unprocessed youth.
Roll an injector in blackened fingers, clear the mind in an observation pure as a fowled plug.
Still passions impede.
Haunted and chased, temporary as a clutch look up at a hub cap moon and try.

Blunt and charmless

P da P

 

Sisters

The Sisters

 

 

The sisters keep bottles of scorpions in the galley

Lubricate walking planks

Untie knots

And forget everything

 

The sisters wait

They cling to rocks deep in the muck to avoid the sun

They keep lost anchors

And laugh at the trouble they cause

 

The sisters smell musty like abandon buildings

Rot and splinter revered like some dusty treasure

An animal corps

Neither rare or valuable

 

The sisters live in reckless folly and empty ceremonies

Feel the putrefied guts

Breathe the foul air

An endless adolescence

 

The sisters eluded me, “Slippery eels”

Wormy livered with rotten esophagus

They shine their lights on some and they are sure that they can fly

So they do
