david gerardino Poems

HE escapes into this uncharted tragedy,
opens a file, writes down his lesson,
then laughs at all the misspelled words,
betrayer he thinks, comes from the ambush,
...

His mind was reeling as the shadows did thier dance.
his body became his temple as she began the dance.
the moment spent,
the lust was gone,
...

ODERS bleed, like your pink abyss,
you fall out of your cage, then beg
the god -like figures to fix you up,
...

FIRST we scrape this stink off,
then wash the soul, then start
this engine, and watch as this
hurt, turns to hope,
...

WE put on our costumes,
then fix up our hair, learn
to smile in our family pictures,
then sit back, and watch this
...

pick up a stone,
put it in a sling,
point it at a giant,
point it at a king.
...

WHEN the flies hang their
hats, this love is dead.
WHEN a stitch is torned
out, this love is dead.
...

SILENT peaple with a spidery smile,
they are crippled and abandoned by
their very own flag,
...

FLYING into the good stuff,
kicking the thunder with my
feet, backing away from saddness,
and learning to love the ones
...

DERELICTS, invisible priets,
whale bones underneath my
dreams.
WINOS, muddle in soot, wake
...
