Hard Sugar Stars

sweet seminole land
lost to those who came
a fallen Orlando Reeves
left only his given name
to what becomes
a city of attractions
and life
pulse pulse pulse
history now bound and woven
to pages of dusty books
to a place where love can shine
or so we thought
that lone gunman
with whatever hatred came
pulse pulse pulse
a beat a rhythm
where lovers dance and kiss
hatred spread its dense fog
leaving many fallen
ones we will not forget
and share our hearts throuhgout
pulse pulse pulse
hard sugar stars
affixed in the firmament
lighting with their pride
our every day

subway whore

Keith Haring

subway spray overlay
urban man crush
on rush hour train

each breath
a lovers kiss,
radiant baby
watch
over
me,
apeshit
batshit,
anal introspection
warm lunch sandwich
slick lettuce curled,

crack is wack,
                                human heart
with happiness in IV

rhythm
                   beat,
circles on the stars
city canvas
sprawled over me
protection to the end,
for as i ride
and rattle can
angels fly
