After Keg Weather: Death's Kid Brother

1. The Full Flower Moon has use
for human sacrifice, so some senior boy
without credit to graduate drowns. As I blow
into this regional high school, girls are chipping in
on American Beauty roses to toss over the falls
he took their hearts down: white water, head
of foam, the margins of his yearbook snapshot.
Petals will separate like polished nails.

2. Serene among the weeping blondes,
this drowned boy's brother, impish Dracula,
prowls the round corridors cloaked in the crow-
winged overcoat he just inherited.
Death wreathes his spiked hair
like a crown of thorns.

3. Write for me. It's time. I tell the live boy.
Remember what a pest I am, he boasts.
In sloppy script, all loopholes and tight angles,
the kid brother knocks this out:

The stares in the night sky
look like their about to burst and
the apple blosoms on the apple trees
look like there about to burst but
the best of all is when pretty girls
passing by in cars wave their hands at me then
I feel like I'm about to burst.

4. Back home I start hanging out my wash.
The black phone rings indoors. Clouds for a hundred
tons of storm roll over. How many drops will score?
I think everyone flirts with death's kid brother.
I single out his work and pull down damp shirts
singing: Life's not done for till there's no more dirt.

One red tongue-tied sock's still pinned to
my taut line by the time it pours.

Comments:Hey guys! Nice page here. Super-cool poems everyone. I miss all of you and GIA and everything so much. Anyone who sees this, E-mail me or call me. I haven't been keeping in touch well lately. GIA RULES!!! Word.

Here's a song I wrote a GIA...


Everytime I look in to your eyes
I get a yearning a burning inside
It's something strange and that's when I realize,
You've got a butt that's like, ten miles wide, YEAH!

You smell so bad,
Your hair is so gross,
And ya know the thing about ya that I hate the most is,
You really make me wanna PUKE.

Thank you, thank you.


Hope that didn't offend anyone. :)
