For Jim (This is in rememerance of the late poet, punk rocker Jim Carroll)

That which does not heal
Cuts in the other direction
And Jim
You crawled through that
Slit on Christ’s side
Only to be bled
Into a City of Junk
And art

Down here
the wind is far too vulgar
with its touch that sends the city reeling.
Did you know that we undress in the bathrooms
down the hall
where we devolve into roach hotel pasts
and dreams of life unde…

Risking Absurdity

Risking Absurdity

There are just so many times that you can risk absurdity
making deals with dead art forms
recalled
when you hit rock bottom
in an effort
to rise where the angels place their bets on
how the energy of the city will break
