Dream Lover

The boy in the dream…
ex-lover of mine.

He wasn’t quite real
but feels left behind.

I studied old photos;
remembered each gesture.

How could I forget
how we lay there together?

With ink on his chest
and lace on his boots…

He looks different now
there before his recruits…

But drawn just the same
and remember the laughs…

Remember the sex
and our hearts torn in half…

He sings of me now
though I didn’t know…

Can I reach out to him
through this ghostly glow?

Perhaps he’s not real?
Perhaps pictures lie?

The woman with pills
who sees him replies
she’s never known man
drinks pills with tequila…

She once dressed like me
and grew heliophila…

She smoked marijuana
and smiles at ghost…

Blond boy with eyes
outlined through the smoke…

Who gives me regret
but mostly just joy…

I wake and I write this
for dream of that boy.

He was fragments I’ve missed
from men that I’ve known…

Men that I’ve kissed
who were real flesh and bone…

Men I’ve pursued or just
played with for pleasure…

Each inspiration a man
that I treasure.

Four men I’ve known;
I remember them all:

Erich & Spike
& Bryan & Paul.

Sleepless Musings

Ride
inside me
Drive
deprive me
Tease
Reprise me
Please
Believe me!

Short and sweet
(yet incomplete)
the rhythm changes
(rearranges)
as words estrange…
I’m so deranged.

These words portray
a troubled mind
bored to play
in doubled blind
in senseless drivel
wrong and deep
endless sibilant
song of sleep.

Meaning < More

Bleak sin plantation
of bitterness bleach.

Darken my eyes
and study my lips.

Speak incantation
of gibberish speech.

Pardon my thighs
and bloody my bitch.

Night I decided was
night never chosen.

Blood suck syringe
pause rejoice afraid.

Sight that divided applause
never spoken.

And fucking the fringe
was a choice never made.

Watching the Game

I see him undressing
through counting of sheep.

I see him caressing
around where I sleep.

I breathe in his secret
as you play the game.

I witness my weakness
for lust laced with shame.

This dream leaves me broken
though roused when it beckons.

I dream of these moments
more often than seconds.

November Subway Randomness

The New Order
whispers into my ears
of 22 year old hauntings
in Jewish boarding houses,
communal showers
and a seemingly gay 1963 assassination.

Behind the whispers
are Dominican conversations,
New York realness,
Subway tuna on flat bread
and yogurt scooped in Harlem train station,
only a few blocks from the famous Cotton Club.

Hypnotic androids devour the starving
amidst a pride of dykes
who clearly believe that
orange really is the new black.

All American Boy
croons as I make my mistake,
as I make my escape,
but I will return
so save me my seat.

Trinity

1 Mother Goose

Saturday night,
Pinocchio arrived at our door.

He was better looking in the flesh,
with the same witty internet banter,
yet fused with that vital magical glimmer;
that liveliness in his eyes.

The supposed Blue Fairy,
the one who actually had turquoise hair,
had fashioned Pinocchio into a real boy
for this blue fairy,
despite the wood that grew between us.

I know what you’re thinking,
but in spite of his need to come calling after sunset,
he was definitively not a lost boy.

Boys that are found to be real
grow up to be fathers of their own after all.

Pinocchio
(respecting the Sabbath)
and having suffered rejection by a prince
(who turned out to be a frog),
left Never Never Land
after the cow jumped over the moon
to visit Elphaba & Glinda
in Rapunzel’s 6th floor condo,
where handsomely dressed
in the emperor’s new clothes
he conspired with my wicked step-mother
to turn me into the double stuffed gingerbread man.

2 Holy Father

My partner,
deep inside of his name twin
as fourth father repeatedly stabs deep
inside of my joyously remembered
childhood cunt.

This doesn’t seem possible;
like a hazy wet dream
brought unexpectedly into being;
twisting the world into impossible shapes
that couldn’t have happened
before Aaron arrived at our door.

And while we writhe and wrestle
into differing rock formations
we fuck repeatedly in that wondrous configuration;
that sexual transmogrification
of inspiration, reemergence & renewal,
a cycle of hunger, thirst, cravings satisfied
and yet sparked aflame without end:

My lover pours himself into him,
as he pours himself into me,
and I pour myself over us all…
and yet we do not come to conclusion.

And at the third movement of the third hour,
this triumvirate charmed me to the spiritual power,
wrought through my flesh twixt symbolic clocks:
I survived crucified on their mystical cocks…
And forgive me for rhyming
for that moment still guides me…
Third time’s the charm
that I took them inside me.

Later,
as time is running out,
stranger friend injects me one last time as I curse.

The penetration is welcomed
yet overwhelming with sensation, vision,
pushing me deeper into myself –
further beyond my walls
where I can finally hear
what my body has been telling me all along.

I grip my lover’s thighs,
looking deep into those thoughtful blissed eyes,
charged connection between us
as man we just met
stimulates my deepest secrets
with the prick that we’ve both just worshiped.

As new father fucks deep into his unwanted son,
with his polyisoprene covered billy club,
my spirit seems to tear in two:
two different Jasons for two different Aarons.

DADDY.
FUCK.
SHIT.
DADDY.
DADDY.
DADDY.
DADDY.
FUCK!

Seven positions. Like ballet.
The Nutcracker: Sweet.

His thick, upturned cock hurts and heals me
with it’s transformative power.

And in the aftermath,
we whisper secrets in the dark…
as we all fail to convince ourselves that we were not
blessed, consecrated and purified.

Blasphemous? Maybe.
But then the truth often is.

3 Prostrated

Today,
during my prostate exam,
Doctor said he was sorry
as he inserted a single finger.
I told him it was fine.

I wanted to say (but didn’t)
that he could use more than one.

I didn’t say
that his finger felt amazing
but was only a shadow of what
I’d felt earlier on Sunday morning.

The exam was brief and painless,
but left me wet.

My doctor is a horrible tease.

The doc says everything’s great
and that there’s no blood;
no sign for worry;
no cause for alarm.

I nearly ask him to try again
but instead I give thanks
while marveling that I remain
both physically and spiritually
intact.

“Prostrated” was finished and released first, but the notes on the other entries were made at the same time and complete the cycle. These were begun in July and finished in October.

Prayer of the Post Traumatic

Hearing disappointment which matches
THE SICKNESS INSIDE ME
threatening to overtake me.

Breathe.

The train is already departing one six eight;
perhaps this panic is for nothing?

Why do the only loud people
in the car gravitate toward me?

Hungry. Terrified and hungry.
Some things never change…
but I can.

Relax. Breathe.

He cannot hurt me here.
She is safe.
And I will eat before long.

If the show has begun
I will eat without fear
and rest,
knowing I’ve seen this particular show
three times before,
and I will be there for Aaron
without compromising
sanity or the denial of self.

If I make it there in time I will be
collected and calm. I will take in
this special show with
no need of regret
for I have controlled my fear
and done my best to travel
especially on the
fucked up weekend transit.

Now relax. Breathe / Ground,
and be the Jason that you want to be.

Smiling Dandelions

Cowering there
beneath the cold swell,

Violin swing;
bequeathing it’s spell,

Showering tears
grey has not faded…

Exists beyond years
in lives of the jaded
who stare at the sun
as pain washes clean…

The music that comes
when we each turn eight-teen.

For Carter Burwell

Fragments of Ryan: Savannah Interrupted

He’s uniquely shaped
like a patchwork of flesh…

Like Frankenstein’s monster
and love coalesced…

With a talent so bare
and a mood so enlightening,

A mixture so rare
that his beauty is frightening.

An eyes glazed insurgent
who’s wanted and lost…

With lazy gaze urgent;
still haunted by cost…

Who writes and performs
on a stage made of pain…

The ache in his eyes
borders on the insane.

And his music jingled
by others was lovely…

Though form never mingled;
if so it was roughly…

In show strung together;
so blissfully jumbled…

The best of intentions
by those that he’s humbled…

His powerful art
in a story so sparse…

Less than the sum
of it’s excellent parts.

For Ryan

SSSSSHHHHHhhhhh…..

These rambling skeletal nothings
prepare a Shakespeare on the Rocks
that will put you to sleep
faster than arsenic, absinthe, abstinence or Nyquil.

These holes where people once stood
are empty by choice:
“It makes for a better tango partner.” she twitters
as she looks at your palm,
smashes a fortune cookie
and calls it psychoanalysis.

These prickly amusements
are friendly Goddess daughters
when we smile and laugh and congratulate,
but let your drowsy mind betray the truth
and see them bare their fangs
to rip your throated poetry to shreds.

Unless of course you’re doing something
which requires respect or silence…
because then they’ll be making
far too much noise to have noticed.
