Avernus Sans Pitie Poems

Walked through this dying town
A Latina that burned buildings down
A vision of grace in world of gray
A kind of beauty words can't say
...

There's a ghost in the whiskey sour tonight
Shaped like a woman's laugh by neon lights
In Busan where the Sam Duk pepper steams
Meh-Kong Rum burns like half-remembered dreams
...

Rejected you in her prime, struttin' through that bar
Said you weren't her type, then rolled off in his car
Now years have gone and left their trail
At Fifty Seven she's swiping left with no avail
...

A smile cuts like a knife,
A grin filled with strife.
The wrong message sent,
A facade of lies that's bent.
...

On our way to a prison out of state
ConAir, the final phase
I was betrayed and now I've been caught
The Kangaroo Court a massive fraud
...

In the grip of darkness, shadows fall,
Echoes of laughter, haunt my soul.
False love fills our space, where hope was bright,
Blood runs down the virgin's cheeks, lost in the night.
...

'Woman, I see through your disguise,
The alimony tears in your eyes,
You swore we were forever, then came the papers,
Now my paycheck's yours like some legal capers.'
...
