Personal Effects
#personaleffects
searching for personas
personally affected
by personal effects
left with bones of those
searching opportunity
only to have their
promises unfulfilled
by coyotes who
took their money
and ran
leaving them dry
their faces erased
by the wind and sand
blowing
on a desert that
holds no forgiveness
only their bones with
a ring
a toothbrush
a doll
a photograph
waiting for their names -
First Word
I gave my first word
Away to my mother
And it was filthy
She made me
Lock it out of the house
After washing my mouth
With Irish Spring
My tongue hated
The taste of clean -
Bait and Switch
Holmes was a dropout with a dream
Took in more than she could handle
Promised a blood machine
But instead she gave a scandal
She fed on fragile, old, white men
Who showered her with money
When she was threatened with the pen
She blamed her ex-lover, Sunny
She denied the bait and switch
Claimed failure was not a crime
Let’s eat the rich
I bet they taste sublime -
Seen Together
Seen together
With his butcher
Stumbling down
Milwaukee Street
A brown boy fled
His butcher’s bed
And when they found him
He was almost dead
On his feet
On his wrists were
Handcuffs dangling
His destiny set for
Later strangling
There could have been
A rescue
When he ran into
The men in blue
But his killer
Undercover
Claimed he was
His lover
And cops claimed
They had no clue
To discover
So they sent
The poor boy back
To slaughter
All because they believed
In Dahmer
Seen together
With his butcher
Stumbling down
Milwaukee Street
A brown boy fled
His butcher’s bed
And was never see whole again -
Roadside Distraction
She was just a roadside distraction
Tom picked up from some run down
Auto shop from the Valley of Ashes
Wishing she was a phoenix rising
From the fire as she
Burned with desire
For some real good breeding
And he really wanted to give it to her
Like he gave it to his wife
Because he liked his material
Girls
Lavishly in love
With luxury and pearls
Always needing
But rich boys don’t marry poor girls
Had she known she wouldn’t have ran into the street
Where she was swept off her feet
By a delicate Daisy
Driving like a demon in heat
With a speed to match all greed
Leaving her to bleed
Like crazy
On that road where she became
A different type of roadside distraction -
Landscape
Sometime in the year 864
A mountain spat
Blackening the forest floor
The sounds soaked deep
Where the darkness sat
Until they were heard no more
In that landscape of no escape
A sea of trees blossomed
Blooming with despair
Beneath a stone
A moan
A groan
A sigh
And flowing with the wind was
A lock of someone’s hair
Sometimes a rope
A vine
A cry
In this place the hopeless hope
To die
Sometime in the year 1886
A man jilted with love
Said farewell
