There's no man
Whose muscles would peek
Out of a short sleeve
Into the solid base
Of my soul
Of my childhood voice
Reverberating in my head
In the form of a phrase
Who am I
Who who who
Simply you you you
Caught in the body
Soul hovering above
Laughing its head off
Laughing at what is to come
Try to catch
Who I am
Years later
No phrase no voice
It's gone
There's no man
Whose infatuation
Would wave its wave
Towards me
Would spit its spit
Over me
There's no man
Lifting up weights of love
Hoisting me high above
All angels in the sky
Tiptoeing in white dresses
On precarious grey clouds
There's no man
Heating my pulse
Piecing my heart
Shattered into puzzle mud
- - By pathetic hedonism
- - Indulgence and romantic heroism
- - By swimming in hookers´ puddles
- - And
alcoholic pools full of fools
Into a stone dragging me
From the palace
Of a gentle courting
To the act of drowning
Making me a dusty shadow
In a preposterous united kingdom
"I'm sorry to forget"
"I'm sorry not to regret"
And here's what I say
“Get out of my face”
Like
African musicians of blues
Expressing
their Ebonics roots
There's a man
Acting like a master
Of all this killing disaster
Wearing a shabby coat
Tailored by fingers of cold
By picky tasteless hands
Having no time to waste
On a princess
-
- Most coveted
-
- When bodies and souls
- - Are freshly
connected
Chucked out of a throne
Into a gutter by the road
Leading from his precious home
There's a man
In existence
Naked and piggy like Henry VIII
Changing religion and spouses
As socks as underpants
Attacked by a jumping louse
Driven by lust
By bottomless wine
There's a man
With no reverse
With no worth of
Plotting revenge
Of suicidal attempts
There's a man
Not seeing yet
Vengeance manifesting itself
In cracking egg shells
In yolks hissing on a hot pan
On irretrievable love span
