Spark In A Cesspool

Sully your blank pages with obscene grace

With fevered imagination with verbal cattleprods

With blatent philosophy meekly abhorrant visions

Of fragrant cruel lies of asphyxiating truths



Carry the screms inside your heart to fester

And ferment until they ripen into foul verse

And until the stubble of a poem grows thick

On your public face on your devil's tongue



Fully expose yourself to the fatal doubt that flows

Over pages of our bloody yesterdays always in debt

Over braced confused sensitive gawkers-at-art

Until your wrists bleed odes forever into the void



Wary of blissful empty verse you spin mutilated words

Onto your canvase of degradation and mirth

Onto the cheeks of deaf rose angerchildren

For nothing explodes as well as inkstained ghosts
