Excerpts:

After the Club

Empty-handed, empty-hearted, empty pocketed you go home

Where is the love Where is the love your heart sings a sad sad song

You drank and acted a fool, laughed when you wanted to cry

Kept up appearances in the Ed Hardy rags you procured from Costco

You flashed change, chain and eyes. One paid attention then

Discounted your pennies and cheap gold-filled dreams

You didn't matter naked or clothed in his eyes

Your change and chains ain't enough

To warm your bed.

Young Bones

maybe it's because you

haven't traveled the path littered

with broken glass and stepped over

carcasses of despair, maybe it's because your eyes shine bright with moon dreams

and maybe it's the silly things

like running naked through parks and mooning

old farmers riding ancient mechanical mules,

dancing until your skin turns liquid, or doing that "flip" thing with your hair curled like fingers...

I don't know...

maybe it's just you calling me "poppi" that makes me

love you, young bones.
