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
