Satisfy

Finally her breath lay down on the rocks by her soft

chin and she could sleep again

with

books of love

thick as tissue-paper

a bite-pop sunrise

tears overeager

she learned

how easy it can be

to satisfy

a loaded gun

Piccadilly Circus Serenade

They dance

every twirl is 

a final fling

run-down

aware

of yourself

in that dress you were once

oblivious

We just fall apart every few days

and write

bring

a song

still the world dances

to silence

Tricky

 Her heart is like a busy street

constantly changing

and she knows it is

but she cannot tell him how or where

until a gun goes off

in somebody’s face

slick sliding shoes tap the floor

a drumroll of busy souls

on the earth’s pregnant skin

at night

the river is a thin black veil

for the faces of the dead

forever swimming

by morning

its just a cheap trick of

the light
