Devil Tied Shoes
when three I
smiled at moons
painted on
a clowns cheek
steam rose
between steel beams
threw shoes
onto a bridge
a nail pushed rubber
up my foot
no splash no scream
just mom horrified
tweezers pushed numb
light pulled warm
didn?t belong away
or home ? neighbors
racist scared bombs
pool table tv porn
saxophone for me
kung fu feeling
alone
...........surrounded
happy cancer lasted
live through christmas
please god not dead
don?t trust entertainers
or lovers faces lifted
lifting bodies body
twenty loving years
not needed don?t
need not ready to.
