a bloodbath, more or less

 


or this idea of everything lost

eventually being found

 

this idea of hope as a

fist in the shape of god

 

a dog on fire crossing

an endless desert

because listen -

 

what’s the point of being

famous once you’re dead?

 

we are a kingdom of corpse-fuckers.

                                       for sure,

but why not try to pull our heads

from our asses and

see the clean light of day?

 

and this is what i ask frankie b,

you understand,

on the eve of little georgie’s death,

and he just pours himself another

drink and looks right through me

 

wants to talk about love but

he’s not drunk enough

to get the words out

 

talks about self-hatred instead

and on this, at least, we agree

 

over this, at least, we can share

a meal of rancid meat and

splintered bones

 

a feast for the jackals we

suspect we’ve become
