Pulsars sweeping through the sky, I become the sun of distant system far away wanting nothing more than to warm your life. Visible hadrons in the sky, naked to the distant eye, cannot see what hopes and dreams locked inside my heart. Expand, I breathe deep with cosmic lungs the dust of stars, inhale the … Continue reading Integer

Future Change, Present
A resolution is on the horizon. A distant possibility sets permanent in reality. The paranoid, the cynical, justified by the marred truth and the absence of integrity associated with the honor lost, crack their doors open. They sigh deeply. They cry tears of disbelief. They were right all along. To pit man against man, to … Continue reading Future Change, Present
Force of Hand
Blank slate inside my arms cannot force the ink out of my fingertips. That black swirl, stream of threading darkness will not recede or flood these plains. Twilight dancing softly, flapping waves silk in black cannot remember; doesn't want to, would rather erase all those mistakes. The lines shall not wash over me, they shall … Continue reading Force of Hand
Maggot Drain by Rozz Williams
This is the end of the line/road come to a close. Muted vision of the dead blends exhaustively with the wretched night that binds it, blinds us in wanton light— a flight not so easily ignored by those in whose arms death waits, enthroned... These are the nights of wasted bones, traced footsteps in mud, … Continue reading Maggot Drain by Rozz Williams
A Fire of Uncommon Velocity by Rozz Williams
Lecture of nectarines taking precedence over the vast emptiness of my name and quickly depleting body collapsed in holy withdrawal and a shivering wound left unhealed by time or paranoia. Hopeless hope of nothing to come but lonesome nights in the thick of nowhere. Juniper daze and hold me over the barrel of your gun. … Continue reading A Fire of Uncommon Velocity by Rozz Williams
Who’s In Charge Here (Beneath the Triumph of Shadows) by Rozz Williams
Old ass monkeys swivel in the discuss/fiscuss lovers yahtzee style. Circle of viral disease spent in whirlpools of light hatred, beginnings of the new world… "Jimmy trick," the space captain moaned from beneath the cosmic red rays of radioactive dead curl. "You make my heart sing." A homosexual antibiotic for no sex in venereal hallway … Continue reading Who’s In Charge Here (Beneath the Triumph of Shadows) by Rozz Williams
Dear Skin by Rozz Williams
Electronic babble, shove off with thine elastic attitude. You condescending fuck hole, you tiny little prick, you don't have the persuasion to crash down my power of hope with rationalization. Tower of rubble, shovel dirt back in that open hole. My soul residing? Hiding there. A devilish grin of rich desire, more fire devouring flame, … Continue reading Dear Skin by Rozz Williams

Perennial Revolution
Paris is burning. Four weeks, the fire spreads. Violence erupts, gas billows red, horns and lights, cacophony rings. Buildings burn, cars smolder, ablaze, the shoppes, vandalized and looted. The police have removed their helmets as the people attempt to remove their leaders; they'd remove their heads as a testament against treason. The students are … Continue reading Perennial Revolution
Night of the Deserters
The lies that filled the night, a contingent thread of peace through omission. Fear, a revving tide, consolidated the radicals it insulated, and robbed the atmosphere of its own gravity. A smirk hidden at the back somewhere, hidden deep beneath a mess of coif and minstrel lyres, the eyes reveal the true souls of liars, … Continue reading Night of the Deserters
