Maggots and Cherries




I had to suck 
On something 
Something tart 
And congealed 
Something rancid and bitter 
Something which wasn't 
A jelly soft nipple 
neither 
Was it anything less 
Than a pug knuckle 
Or a slat of tripe 
Nothing warm 
And moist 
And welcoming 
Just some reticular 
exegesis 
Some prevalent dismissal 
Some concomitant abuse 
Deathwatch beetle maggots 
Hidden and distending 
In the fraught convulsions
Of dilapidation 
Which spontaneously concur 
Within these walks
Of empty space
And ridicule me
Like flares 
Meet me today
I'll bring cherries
Wear your best pants
And prepare for take off
Pushkin loves you 
The sleet is full of cigarette butts
Spring melts 
The king of spades
Let's play poker 
And swim to heaven.
