The Red Jester
2005
City night aligned with pleasure,
deep aligned with crumbling pasts.
Go, we go like dancers,
stretched enough to spin.
Frozen by the rock star near my feet,
smoke creep crawlin’ to my lungs as the noise
crick cracks through my ears.
He says, the rose is to lichen as the squid
is to wolf,
and truth is to history
as egg is to stone.
But I forget these things in the
crisp
enveloping kick of
Jack’s guitar,
giving up to the sonic kill of
the red jester and the fly
upon the wall.
