...that little girl with her seaside limbs
and ardent tongue
haunted me ever since
–
until at last,
twenty-four years later,
I broke her spell
by incarnating her in another.”
-
(Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov)
& She Like a Mother
Introduced me To Heather
a Runner
of Back Alleys & Clip Joints
All Dark Eyes & Gin Soaked Thighs
I Let Her Lead me Down That Hall
& Many More
In Love With the Waste That Became my Life
The Knife
& Impossible Heists
Were the Dreams I Would Cling To
As the Sodden Sheets
Muffled Our Screams
Mad Dogs
Who Bite
Burning Way
To Bright
Mesmerized
By
the Light
Would we
Find
Death
To Night
