Boner Skin

Looking into the rot of the unseen muse wondering about a rosy fingered dawn slashing across moonscape illumination against the velvet atmosphere

an unceasing cycle of relentless winds will not blow away skeletal remains of our aborted futures fallen

I like the kind of sex you can’t get at k-mart anymore…

blue light special going off

in the fitting room

raw dogging and slapping some temporary meat vessel in the nose with a rotating wiener dunked in ketchup

they say we’re crazy but I just don’t know anymore when they’re the ones who made all this

dead space

inner dream time

our only escape

maybe it isn’t so much boner skin with our lusts bursting through paper bag repression as much as it is boned skin

bones

poking out the flesh

leaping skeletons that just can’t quite get free

the bells toll ptsd tinnitus

you can only stand to hear so much and listening can sometimes be a pure act of sadism

or maybe my downtrodden being really is just a colossal boner unfurling its skin to penetrate the world

impregnating with all the wrong reasons in this season of madness in unforsaken bliss

why try anymore when it’s all over

playing home movies

in my mind

more like

suspense driven horror

minus the the thrills

pumped with the mundane

ever sickening pallets

natural light hitting pastels and eggshell whites

plastic totes

with all my belongings

eventually my military duffel

eating out of garbage cans

sleeping under overpasses

ruminating over confessions of an unlived life

what keeps me sleepless at night

holding my dick

dating a series of sociopaths

no sex, no love, no affection

maybe once in a while a display of allusive kindness teasing me with what we shared before which never was there in the first place causing more than one of us to starve for more

something happened once

or rather many things

at once

sometimes

more

piled on high like a filipino box-spring hog…the way the trucker in the pink crop top and white cowboy hat described his wife 

who wanted me to see the back of his trailer at the bookstore I worked at over a decade ago

pornographic machinations in a foreign land

you can just grab a woman in a bar with a fistful of dollars and have one

are the outlets the same for filming there like they are here?

I just write scripts

So you set the mood?

deep inside

I know

I could

turn it off

but turning it back on would be a problem ‘cause it gets harder to get back towards a path of compassion

nah…

I’ll just take the verbal thrashings

the economic torture

the emotional beatings

and be on my way with a condition red soul

slipping a sense of subtle sabotage

when I can
