Saul McCandless Poems

Razor blade lover
Absent vanity
A thousand years ago
In yellow rain-stained sanity
...

For what right have you?
This cowardly stance,
These lies and untrue riddles,
I cannot sense the anointment
...

I am separate
Where once was a pair
Just like everyone
Really, actually are
...

I dug her blonde dreadlocks
She was an art student
She dug my black dreadlocks
Our time was not prudent
...

She was what she was
I am what I am
Insignificant
Unworthy lamb
...

Could you be, strangely uncruel
Ill at once, to point out my mistakes, and view
My menace has mingled, and now in your birthplace
Stands my evil parenthooded
...

I see the way you are forced to look at me
As a matter of fact
How I would like
To disarm your gaze
...

When I throw this cigarette end
It must go in the bin
Somehow
For the rat at the bottom of the garden
...

Goldfish bowl
I didn't mean not to
Change
Your water
...
