Why don't I love you? [12/08/09]

poetssociety

[devlinofwicklow]
Because your essence seems manufactured
(your eyes are tinted wholly in black coal dust
resistant to the suns harm and indeed, too, it's benefits)
and your adult faces serves only
as a gray headstone for some child spirit
and your love is a narrow alley shortcut
which one hurries through so not to be robbed

Why do I love you? [12/08/09]

poetssociety

[devlinofwicklow]
Because of the uncurtained windows of your eyes
taking in and revealing what sunlight would surround them,
and the green fields of your soul
(to which my own would flee in its music inspired fantasies)
hilly and variegated by flowers of your mannerisms.

...These metaphors seem as though they can't meet
either your solidity or weightlessness in form,
which is torn and tears me
between earthy reality and the etherized heavens

Unstrung [12/09/09]

poetssociety

[irishandinsane]
In the lamplight
of a proven point
I saw
terrified words
like a boy's back turned,
rock-solid
and often staid,
make their way into the lines of your face.

And I remember reassuring so clearly
that I'm not sure if I did it at all.
Because clarity is a liar
that eliminates the grey-inbetween ways
that often hold validity
and key notes
of a final shedded melody:

You shook it off your back
like that coal-knit coat
when it started getting warm again.

It was easy to sit on my fossil-couch
and pass words
out,
hand-me-downs from my head.

But I didn't even really try to fix it,
not at all.

Considering that I'm not religious, the amount of Catholic symbolism in this poem is staggering.

Transubstantiation

I don't look forward to the thirteenth of December.
It's when you lost him, every year you lose him
Every year there's less that you can remember
Every year you lose it, you break it, you push me away
I apologise for a man I never knew and secretly hate.
He cut you up inside and made you clutch your head and cry
When he isn't even there, when it's years since he died
He took a knife and left his burdens, and you picked them up
In Gethsemane you reached over and you took his cup
One day a year, you go out on a limb
Covenants of blood that you do in memory of him.
You played Jesus and took his tears
He played God with all your fears
When for him you took all you had and you set it alight
He fucked you over with a thank-you and you think that's alright.
He made you think it was your fault and then you tried
To take all of the blame and get God on your side
And when God said that he'd never believed in you
You said it was something that no one could do
Though you don't have anything that you could transcend for
God isn't the be all and the man you're mourning won't end all
I love you, God I love you, fuck I love you, just look at me
Creeping round the corners of your life like you're scared of what you'll see
You are golden, you are holy, you are full of sweet, smiling sin
And you've got a lot of scars that you like to hide your troubles in.
Every year, it's the same, everywhere, his goddamn name
Teasing things out slowly and sinking you into shame
Making bad excuses and trying to lay claim
To all you are, to everything
From beyond the grave.
And you take his goddamn holy cup
You call it 'a little pick me up'
Drinking vodka in the ritual that he showed you
As a way of faking paying back all the things he owed you.

You ask me if anyone will ever stay behind for you
I don't say anything, but I think- that's exactly what I do.

Heroin // Jim Carroll [12/08/09]

greatpoets

[iatrogenicmyth]
Sat for three days in a white room
a tiny truck of flowers
was driving through the empty window
to warn off your neighbors
and their miniature flashlights.

by afternoon
across the lake
a blind sportsman had lost his canoe.
he swam
by evening
toward the paper cup in my hand.

At dawn,
clever housewives tow my Dutch kitchen
across the lawn.
and in the mail a tiny circus
filled with ponies
has arrived.

You,
a woman with feathers
have come so often lately
under my rubber veranda
that I’m tearing apart all those tactless warnings
embroidered across your forehead.

Marc,
I’m beginning to see those sounds
that I never even thought
I would hear.

Over there is a door knocking
for example
with someone you hate.

and here I beg to another to possess somehow
the warmth of these wooden eyes

so beside me
a lightbulb is revolving
wall to wall,
a reminder of the great sun
which had otherwise completely collapsed
down to the sore toe of the white universe.

it’s chalky light
rings
like a garden of tiny vegetables
to gather the quiet of these wet feelings
together

once again

like the sound of a watch
on your cold white wrist
which is reaching for a particular moment
to reoccur…

which is here…now.

More progress:



"If I were to live my life
in catfish forms
in scaffolds of skin and whiskers
at the bottom of a pond
and you were to come by
one evening
when the moon was shining
down into my dark home
and stand there at the edge
of my affection
and think, "It's beautiful
here by this pond. I wish
somebody loved me,"
I'd love you and be your catfish
friend and drive such lonely
thoughts from your mind
and suddenly you would be
at peace,
and ask yourself, "I wonder
if there are any catfish
in this pond? It seems like
a perfect place for them." "

-Richard Brautigan
(Your Catfish Friend)
