Hi Blinks,
I wrote this one yesterday. I think I might have more to say on this
subject, but I'm not yet sure it belongs in this poem, and I'm not quite
sure that it doesn't. Ambivalence is my middle name after all, ha.
Poem follows below signature.

When someone brings beauty
out of that bitter old ruin,
I fly for a minute or two,
my heels half hovering, half stomping
with yes and joyful grooves,
so used I am to savior nailed up
on vicious plans:burn the faggots,
burn the lefties, burn them all.
As if God were some Gestapo's
wolvish hound or hobgoblin,
trained to the tune of a gun
or some black madame's whistle and whip:
monster and prophet, presodemt of some
peculiar skyllike hell.
As for me, I think he came once
to the world, and the second time must
arrive in our heartsblood grottoes:
alive, ablaze, and
hilarious earthwise whole.
