Kyle Shield Laster Poems

Fawn I do to interest you.
I know it never works.
I know I never break your brow.
I know my beauty jerks.
...

Fate kisses her.
Decaying gums.
Finds she back in Slums.
...

Now suffer you dull, nasty thing!
Just walk you through his keep.
I told you not to feel that way.
I told you not so deep.
...

Its not been but a month
And you've already slain your words;
Of how you'd be a better me-
Of how we'd soar past birds.
...

Find my body in a state-
That mesmerizes eyes.
Souls come forth to view it-
As it not so quickly dies.
...

Bound through the doors of my sweet prison
Not a condemned place yet but a fool's heaven
Study til my eyes bleed tears of question
No cause behind but the need is there
...

Not a lot in Mississippi.
Fields and fields of cotton...
Trees here and there:
Blanketed in magnolias.
...

I'm praying so fervently
That my life is beginning to ache
Due to a build up of lactic acid
In my faith.
...
