Luster<\/strong><\/p>\n

whiskey sweats at 10am;
\nit’s Tuesday, and I
\nreally shouldn’t leave today.
\nthe sheen of the gun,
\nthis light beside the candle\u2014
\nluster never was our game;
\nwe shine beside the shallow grave:
\nangry light electric ghouls
\ndeprived of all that mattered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kingdoms<\/strong><\/p>\n

from here inside this cage
\nI watch the birds play mating games
\non branches hung too low for me,
\ntoo low for leaves to fall.<\/p>\n

yet worms compete for drier land,
\non beds of compost waiting,
\nmeeting fates we’ve never bargained for\u2014<\/p>\n

this cage, in here, now reeks of smoke.
\nI light another cigarette,
\npull my leather firm;
\nthe cold
\nof any subject burning slowly down the wire.<\/p>\n
