THERE WERE TWO CARS.

 

 

       there were two cars. two voices.

              two girls stopped by the fence, seeking explanations,

       which i readily provided - then they were gone.

              the pills streamed out of my mouth

       my stomach ejaculating.

              the pleasure of being lost in the woods.

       the memory of his naked body beside me, quivering.

              i called out his name but he was hiding-

       playing games, why didn't he come?

              from a tree wept a dark rag.

       here now - gone the next moment.

       the forest played it's tricks.

       nearly dead i awoke

       & drove home - my stomach rejecting it's own

       precious poison.

       later, blood crept from my mouth in spasms, &

       the black coal.

       i awoke in the hospital w/ 100 white faces

       staring through my veins.
