Stickleback dappled

He lived life to the dregs
Held himsen back
through lack of piercings
Piercing insights
Prince Albert
brilliant shafts of prescient light
Integrating shadows
Peeping through the scaffold
Naked as a bone
He walked the fields of varnish
painted to the toes
Incandescent leper
Keeper of the rose
Drinking engine starter
Watered down with vodka
Bring your cock cheese
And your pus
Bring your therapy
And your drugs
Bring your larceny
And your capitulation
Bring your validation
And your disgust
He practiced the presence
The presence of chaos
Walked through the tunnel
The tunnel of rats
Parenthesized by paradise
Precluding vindication
Stickleback dappled
Jam jar dumb as Kevin
Dive off the swing bridge
Into the canal
He drained life
Like a pint of maggots
And no magpies crawk
He maimed life like an addict
Ran into trouble before he'd admit
He could squawk.
