Man Ray – Keeps London Going 1938
fireproof monkey
elastic bound thoughts
contracted as would a boiled egg
overdone,
helios hepped on jazz
found the stroke of sidewalk
blocks of bars and strip joints,
mind breathing everything
eyes registering the glass windows
of long to come
tomorrows,
when her kiss come
buick grille jaws of hell,
elastic could not tighten
anymore flared with worms
and a solitary fly,
noise flushed red of wanton art,
could i be a titan
writhing on that couch
with string hearted blonde
ivory lonely care
without tending priests,
poor dumb altar
with genius of my soul
her and my footsteps
made us kings and queens
of the carnival
and slumberers of the
dreary city doorways
Robert Crumb
garments that have been pressed
seek her in her grassy tomb
flesh fleece and evening star,
murmurs rise from escaped soul
mouth a shrine to heavens kiss,
text on stone chiseled deep
scythe a scalpel to those around,
to a vow made on cradle key
in binding earth no more a sleep
a million flakes of tempted tremors,
noonday heat rises with the sun,
rise up on quivering breeze
her broken tongue is healing
love a radiant throng
the sick longing eye and dropping of
gossamer veil,
chants names of those exposed
beyond wither,
whole flesh again
i wish back that angry fist
spirits breathe in sensual undulate
on pages of book no longer departed
i have said my piece up to space,
enameled hand paints gallery in the cave
images as she had been growing wild
reaching out,
some say i am a crook
a felon
a murderer
an abuser
LA has no cheap glories for them to remember
i am hunted,
drone circling over head,
zeal of vocal chords will not be heard
counterfeit saints and barefoot dancers
as the snow melts
you open the doorway to onions,
crammed in a pan with cubed steak,
beige dress and apron strings
he saw the wineglass
an ashtray close to full,
he still wondered why she shaved
her pubic hair into a stripe,
going to piss in the small toilet
a room barely used scented of
kerosene and urinals,
you ok she called
peppermint ice cream tones with
hidden expressions,
scratching beard muttered out a reply
zipped up mind still a conflagration of thought,
i wanted to do an english stew
was your day ok
housewife animated advertising jargon
felt like exploding,
the car would still be warm
engine would start quickly,
murmured almost automatic familiarity
those beech tones just as wooden
full of grain and knots,
fifteen years it was comfortable
not likable settled,
he did not question or ask
just lived as he now did with her,
camus could of written a diary with them
in with charlie parker soundtrack,
there was no children
they had not found time,
you could crawl back inside yourself
but that would lead to tears
best left to what was
a grisly fetish
slave and domination
abstract interludes,
snapshots of a smoking buddha
fuck hole sanity,
without that crawling cuckoo
jacket on chair
assembled the winning smile,
she came and kissed
long tongue surrounded his mouth
lips soft journals of praise,
now feeling ok
sat back and spoke as if released
watching her
not knowing her
Charles Bukowski – Oh Yes
bourbon flavored font’s
two glasses unwashed
sat upended fragile in their shine,
opened bourbon
a long mouthful held then swallowed
his bourbon her breakfast,
moving from one room to another
morning cool on skin
she wore only panties,
typewriter on oak
bold keys hold promise
again it was his
the cat shared moved onto lap
as sitting down,
chatter of keys as poetry flowed,
to him she was a disposable muse,
she did not care
being on all fours
fucked from behind
staring at cotton bed linen
her mind could think
without his face ,
all he needed was the mirror to pose,
weave of cotton held a story
as she thought of next poem
he too had release,
it was a kind of love,
they used each other in
different ways
