Anticipating “wants” ...

DerrickTyson — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:26:36 +0000

Anticipating “wants” like a dressmaker; some vital experientialist with the elixir of life, too sensitive for critics. I grit and never bare it, but stare at it instead, to control the heart of man, one needs th’melodies that make one o’ercome ...

MESMERISM

DerrickTyson — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:22:34 +0000

Burt Lancaster-swagger with dilated pupils, thanks to the eye doctor. “Is your vision blurred yet?” I am subject to folk-lore, like sludgy grease-patches where a Captain once sat, smiling, breathing down his brethrens’ throats. Nightfall is like a ...

Nostalgia barks at me sometimes louder than a monk’s silence Today slipped on my own words Oil spots on the tongue the way the moon has hung and hung and hung in the sky like a heavy jar full of stained glass holding the universe’s milk Pale eyes ...
