Lord she’s gone done left me done packed / up and split 

and I with no way to make her 

come back and everywhere the world is bare 

bright bone white    crystal sand glistens 

dope death dead dying and jiving drove 

her away made her take her laughter and her smiles 

and her softness and her midnight sighs— 

Fuck Coltrane and music and clouds drifting in the sky 

fuck the sea and trees and the sky and birds 

and alligators and all the animals that roam the earth 

fuck marx and mao fuck fidel and nkrumah and 

democracy and communism fuck smack and pot 

and red ripe tomatoes fuck joseph fuck mary fuck 

god jesus and all the disciples fuck fanon nixon 

and malcolm fuck the revolution fuck freedom fuck 

the whole muthafucking thing 

all i want now is my woman back 

so my soul can sing

I can stick my whole fist in my mouth.
I cook tremendously.
I know how to dance.
I can learn from my mistakes.

A Certain Amount Of Dog Nipples

Each emotionally rendered panel stumbling

towards the truth slightly cautioning, protect your 

heart, heal your troubles, and 

with the blessing of fate and fortune moving 

toward an ornamentation of color, 

adorns the reins of two lovers, 

a rainbow of blessings, the details

written long ago in the book of

secrets not for the faint of heart.  

all the magic in the world can't take this pain away
