ripping the third eye from the face
sands ballpeen glass eyes follow
they keep the stolen girls in the forest
wooden mouth moans clacks ivory teeth
innocence beauty stolen by goat violent heat
“I passed the old Jewish merchant on Market street
he flailing in silence hidden by urine scented shadows
afraid”
of Veterans and their Streetperson auditions, Bum Art
pornographic
praying in the Beat bars of Fifties sin
dusty mouth realpolitik
inconsequential laze-about
as being blacker shades of grey
