Didn't Know Your Nasty 

  didn't want to know
rubberized you
  trivialised you
was wrong you
   always
  enveloped transparent micronaut
        madness
  often
    unsheathed your broad
  flapped your silver sword
  coloured your hair
flattened your foot
   fired the powder
near a brook
    where my castle
rooks you
   never again

An Artist's Recent Request

  we ringed our desire; eighty-seven
plotpointed the canvas
     me in public
  you in private

  we danced the fight circle
    clocked wise in white
  counter black in piston punch shadow
    Paul loosed the ropes
  i went toe to toe
     you grew your hair like Don
   and grinned with prize

   we wrapped the flowing Jupiter ball of
       gas and masks and Montreal magic
    on mein request

   it's in a ball in a closet
     that opens to pour
        if you want to burn it

Remember When We Listened To Ozzy?

I can't grasp our memories
without you.
you unsheared your lip
battery urge
   and I sharpened my surge
bastized syphon
never one
adder won
  black chance cube
crypt connection
   Moon's
climbing my August stairs
 on an apple november 18, 1956 night
your cracked ice hand
  frack dice
     lands
again and again
    complete
the plummeting
       echo
    before
         the monster crushes
             winnipeg's monolith battlements

Dead Emerald Wing

true teammate glinting
sees joy in your eyes
believes
in the vision
embraces enemies
roaring
passes the puck 

jealous sticks
make halcyon heyday hate
morbid pucks
slide untested
skates’ froth
goes unnoticed

teammate untrue hinting
stinting
clever carrion
he curves emperor emeralds
schadenfroh nothings

small men make much of small stats
never understanding
the numeric lexicon of the artisan 

skate alone
in crowded gloam
