jeff filipski

the liver does a river dance
with bullets holes for friends

i stacked steroids
daily
with eight balls of blow
and a fifth to wash it down
I shouldnt have been out in public
had to drink to remove the edge

I lived to tell about
though i'm not sure
for how long

my father gave me his 12 gauge
he said he doesnt feel good
wanted me to have it
but i had to promise my lady

that I'd use it for other things

yes, life is good...

cityboil

silt skies maddened by human face
a conquest in derision.
the sorry dance of devolution.
erection penetrate in foible of pursuit
success in a childs voice
in the big picture. oddity.
a blind squeal of delight as
blood splashes on cold
concrete..

flarn

spinning like a top with bowel of man hissing
excess is god and god is dead. dolefully
the remnants of my skull breath on false neck
outstretched
waiting for the ax to drop...
