Self-Deception Connoisseur.


So here I am, writing lies 
for fear of leaving nothing else,
as poetry ambiguous 
clouds neither brain nor body. 

Damn you, gravestone, 
and the coldness here interned. 
You don't share that secret 
which I alone would die for.

Pagan-godless heathen, Jew.
Alphabets within Alphabets 
Idiosyncryptic contexts 

and nervousness. 

I kill three men a year:
one, a baby 
one, a bore 
one (who used to guide me) 
can dead guide me no more. 

Turn away in time.
Runaway in tears.
What did you expect of me?
I am constructed from your fears.
