Demolished Poem

Divine Locket do not Break

Your word is Demoltive

Wherein a Heart

in the throat

screams (Bloody-Murder) During

Sex

In a glass house rattling

in a glass house where we throw stones

There are no Pain in your kisses And I cannot love you,

And some of this I’ve never seen

So long as I feel good, I’ll keep on feeling good

within the cosmofuckal suffuse of us, in that sawdust

See how the lean of the house

How Dare you be that gorgeous

the bridge is drunk it topples over

the Apartment building is also Very drunk and it stumbles

the Stadium is not drunk, but lonely enough to collapse

silly drunken regiment of buildings

No I cannot

with your beauty, with your adorable-swallowing

And the building gulped, sucked in a breath, held it and collapsed

the skyscraper tipped her drink to the sky, said her prayers and dove earth-first into the dirt

No no no it’s too sour, Collapse

all the ancient glass

highball bottles shudder reflexively,

all the window panes Shudder & collapse

Gravity is envious of a High Point

keenly aware of each in the foundation

it smashes it against its face

like war-paint

there in a glass house rattling

there in a glass house where we throw Stones
