Literature Text
She wilts in the wind,
but laughter still sounds from a
leftover shadow.
but laughter still sounds from a
leftover shadow.
Literature
consecrate
authenticity an arsenic
in morning coffee, in the smiles
pressed like ironed laundry,
because I feel like one wrong breath,
one wrong kiss between glossed lips and soft jaws
and I will be nailed to a cross
deception a shame rising like steam,
where teeth grind against each other
like clockwork gears, tick tick ticking
while the tongue kisses the roof of its cathedral
like a prayer to gods yet to be named
because her face is a mosaic window
shining the sin out of love

A shoebox and a throttled scream.
There is no good grief. Not for me.
Red grey leaves can't bring me joy
They fall on my lap - my boy,
Girl, be still, didn't mean to,
Did not stop - knew what she'd do.
A shoebox and a throttled scream.
There is no good grief. Not for me.
Literature
Baritone Jazz
But why such an ungainly horn,
what persuaded you try?
-I was still unschooled when
I first heard the baritone’s dark voice
singing melancholy music,
sounding the heart of love.
Listening, I heard an aching lover
rejoice, even while his anguish
echoed within the sad chambers
of his damaged heart.
I heard how I could make
that melancholy voice my own.
