Since the fall of man
every child of God became brat
individually we attempted
engraving our rain degenerated wormholes
into soiled timelines
of futile grandiosity
eastern tenement landing
a Jew middle-age slum lord
harasses juvenescent females
into exploitative inebriation
stale apartment hallways
christened in bug spray & semen
in from
moonlit section eight balconies
of euphoric recollection
midnights spent star gazing
through bent translucent bottles
of lower shelf bourbon
Enrique Sanchez
working class resident
one with the 42nd street ladies
lit up like the fourth of July
every macabre Sunday
as placid evening
reveals a week's grinding assent
what we breathe for
lambently resides
within our daily domestic tribune
of uncouth dog food bowls & mistaken laundry
youth's irreproachable candle wax
] melted decades ago
beyond its invaluable wick
indispensable years spent
trying to resurrect
the dead doorman as
assorted cadavers lay supine tonight
spread out cross the village morgue
Louie the uptown mortician
a bipolar necrophiliac
had his way
once again
through the wee darkened hours
with your deceased loved ones
ashen fingertips
lover
shriek my name down tetanus alley
do not let us rust
as olde Shakespearean
angels of alcoholism
ride our sexual organs down
into the stark penitential gates of Hades
