The Gone World Gone (Poem for a Dead Man)

Childhoods end suddenly nears...
As whispered through a vampire's ear

The blood dries and cracks in the veins
Sucked out by fangs
To reveal secret screenings of teenage dances
And Salvation Army warehouses

An iron mask on my heart
Keeping out the sepulchral reality of time
Fractured beyond any hope for repair

Memories of the gone world wreaks havoc
Weeps deep down through the willo...

Skeletal Mini Blind Panorama (An Evening as Whispered Through A Vampire's Ear)

In a similar fashion to ink blots 
Various skull shapes gather 'round 
The skeletal mini blind panorama 
Various forms of madness play out 
Like stale jazz 
All under the lamp with the dunce cap 
And electric yellow snot 
The insects pay homage to this diety of the night 
With bizarre kamikaze rituals... 
And here I was 
Just turning it on and off... 
Oh what horrors and discoveries
