Random Poem:

wintered, bitterly
spaces

my eyes are dull
 1
like the smoked
 2
grey skyline
 3
of this shithole.
 4
 
 
they   drift
 5
lazily to points
 6
of reference;
 7
like abandoned dogs
 8
or candy-colored
 9
seats in the subway:
 10
 
 
i cling harshly
 11
and beggar with
 12
desperate falsity these
 13
decaying metaphors,
 14
 
 
as though  pretty pitted words
 15
dripped thickly
 16
can staunch
 17
this wound i nurse
 18
like sympathies.
