I dig up bones in moonlight
I dig up bones in moonlight
Crossing fingers dripping sweat kisses
Mothering my fixation stony tongued
In beds lined by lilies; thrice hot smothered
These cats droop the sunset inveterate
Blood flowers floating the streams
Stilling a december uprising
Of skeletal warriors
Golding this slender wrist
I keep in silent burials
Cracks seep the father eyes
Love all and take griefs to rest
A slumbering to not waken the stirs
That encumber body dreams
Miss you, Vampira, in my sweet airs
To suckle the trickling
Out of slow pouring veins
A morbid glance at things
Beats the wings inside me
Heating my on/off
To a foul-eared pig fountain
Rickling these fling-folly erect
Body that I rose in twilight
To the horror and triumph of breaking light
Trapped inside this globe cage
Ghoulish rays spread the canvas
Of petaled priests walking the rounds
Trampling worries of ages
Knifing the born-bread fancies
Found in ruffled collars
I need these souls tonight
Festooned upon my conscience
Like butchers at the fair
Hacking away the tide
Going the distance
All bearded in thorns
As I among the rats and mongrels
Dreary as bats in drag
Rise up and lost in fire
Burn away in the night fires
Of autumn breeding
While nooses are strung in greens
Lonely as a weed
And lucifer is checking heads
In aerial caves all howling
For there are wolves tonight
Dreaming the cobwebs
That sprawl the constellations
A glad hand ringed with seedlings
Virginized in mother’s milk
Cleansed and iodized
In whores’ chambers
But I in my image
Am misbegotten in greens
Damned up easter ramblings
In a stone thrown from
Familiar tips adorned in hearts
Halloween what a day
To fight the streets with
Babylon flowing my arteries
Crowning my visions with pillars
That sweep up the heavens
Flowering my beds with graveyards
And headstones; all silence and yearning
A bullet to the tender temple
He was a great light
Wishing wells filled the landscapes
To throw one last coin in the summer
