someone to fuck and then to kick
BECAUSE YOUR KING IS A WHORE,
BECAUSE
YOUR GOD IS A LIE
BECAUSE YOUR KING IS A WHORE,
BECAUSE YOUR GOD IS A LIE
BECAUSE YOUR KING IS A WHORE,
BECAUSE YOUR GOD IS A LIE

like false kings growing fat on the corpses of children
a different
assassination in a
later century, but
the idea remains the
same
history written
lightly in pencil
in case the
names need to be
changed
one small step in
someone else’s
idea of the right
direction
you invent a cause,
and then
you figure out
who needs to die for
it

to viktor
had the hope of millions
but listen
young woman gang raped on a
crowded public beach in the
middle of a sunlit afternoon
and what do you do?
film it for yr
friends back home
sing yr song in a
voice not quite human
tongue made of stone
fist driven hard into
the face of the sleeping child
nervous laughter and old
blood and do you get it?
middle of the fucking day
no mercy and then
finally
no hope
jackal king grows fat in
this kingdom of ignorance
blade of truth slashes
without hesitation across the
laughing face of god

riopelle's "pavane": a monologue
we approach the age of
possible cures slowly
if we number the dead
we do it backwards
and starting at one thousand
two will be the person
you hold most dear and maybe
you'll never reach it
maybe you'll be forced to choose
a child or a spouse
or even a younger sister and
what happens is this
we make love
on the living room couch in
the coldest part of april
the sky is a gift from magritte
the houses on this street
somewhere between obsolete
and sinister
you ask me again how
my father died and i tell you again
that i don't know
he was alive and then
he was on the kitchen floor
he was hooked up to
competent machines and then
the machines were turned off
and it's here that
the baby wakes up
and the story is forgotten
until next time
it's here that the world of
barking dogs and ringing phones
reasserts itself
what goes left unsaid
is that no one has been saved
