THE BODY -- IN THE ROOM

Twice more than he wanted
Thirteen times more than he knew
a trembling wretch vomited beside him
cracked rivers of bottles
lay in graves concern

Yet death a taunted lover
turned over in the haunted sheets
darkness dribbled in a footstep
screams silent in reach

Storms flayed in echos faceless greet
and slumped in the chocolate colour chair
vague that emptiness
hollow, cracking, modelled stare

A tattoo stain of times
dusty breach
ribbed cage tombs
wheeled in and out
cobwebs vacant except for the sarcastic corner
welcome faded portraits of ghostly cages

Twice more than he ever wanted
Thirteen times more than we all needed

this gallery has closed
deserted in vogue
the plastic leather skin pieces

ache no more for the visions touch
 
 
TWICE MORE THAN HE EVER WANTED
