Crematorium
crematoria tears
fell freely on the Monday
lapsed into silence
on the Tuesday morn
we were all here
dutiful and penitent
we were all here
but you were gone
I heard you breathing
shallow now
soft as snow
but far away
someone still wept
through the aeons
that followed
for you had heard
the mother of voices
she spoke to you
and not to me
.

Reflective
back
in the laboratory
of my mind
I concoct solutions
to ubiquitous problems
the silken intrusion
and delicate rub
of afflictive memories
the cocks and cunts
of youthful infatuation
the fascination
of the flesh
meshed into pornographic
reference
forced into grotesque
and novel shapes
made to adopt
censored smiles
and null identity
but these subtle devices
imperfect in design
only breed new monsters
bittersweet and unkind

Ideology
you believe what you want to believe but there’s no give in tablets of stone and no thought that fills your stomach there is no dumb eternal essence no spiritual spark that electrifies the synaptic gap we speak ourselves into being and our language articulates ideology we are the vassals of whatever ideology we call common sense there are prohibitions that control your actions and procedures to improve your ideology I have no beliefs to lay claim to and no faction lays claim to me I’m not alone there are millions like me free of the chains of ideology
