Leon Agnew Poems

Come here
Ugly window
Show me beautiful
Show me wonderful
...

O, Death, you come quickly
You take the worser off
You come for the sickly
Yes, we will all die soon
...

The doomed child;
For its sake,
Defiled
Became Dovey Sweet-Heart.
...

Today river
Tomorrow golem
Today gone
Free
...

Take a breath
Close your eyes
Wait a bit
Open them
...

Love, in essence,
Is like a toothbrush.
We use it a lot,
And it grows weary.
...

I ate my son today.
He sat upon a platter.
I picked up my fork,
And his entrails I did splatter.
...

In times of darkness never ceasing,
Crushing fury, never easing
Swallows me like fleshy foods
Consuming my happy moods
...

Everywhere I look, there's an ethical rape.
Churches come first
Bend and fall at the hands
Of their angry oppressors
...

It is harmless.
It is average.
It is chemistry.
And it is morning.
...
