"Poetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words." --Paul EngleCalliope Nerve Part VII: The Troupe of Calliope featuring

The Rebellious Escapist is free of charge and available now.
Halfway ThereHands are wicked
Thrusting against
Bedside manner
Cigar after, ashtray shocker
Swing some of that clear
Bed poison
Rotten afterglow
Some post coital heartbreak
They were meeker times
Unwelcome suicide
Tempest machines
Unplugged for youth(er) years
We'd swing into metal screens
Halfway there
Stealthy villain–child
Who said she'd be the one
To disappear
Procrastinate
Break into the giddy abortionist
Maybe like sunset
She'll wait for me
Slick like the head chip
Fractures we always revisit
Though I never promise
I'll get there first
