The coward called our heroSomething drips from the clothes of power,isn't blood or sap No alcohol or opiate restores This manner of memory The sweat of an unbruised fight,encouraging another betrayal takes no funk,nor poem His food is hot, no flies on god's shit stale. It's a steady beat of the pulse close,and loose,against trees,and wax, and magazines, The forehead hits a nail. the saxophone in his meat plays beyond moments of rubble,failed visions, and miracles. In the teapot sounding like a baby,the kind artist hosts him,while he's no cupid,no naughty boy,half make more than most of him. He has soup between his knees,he balances his wings on his mouth,he balances his wings on his eyes alone He flies into a medicine cabinet,singing about Home,there is phlegm in his heart,and his warm feet honed from daring to step into nicotine justice.
