strange saint 

a voice 
resoundingly human 
she is Jeanne d'Arc 
full of overcome pain 
bristling with blades and wounds 
I want to be only good to her 
I can but I cannot 
love her 
kicking me out

Meine Mutter war eine Terroristin
sie soff um sich nicht zu erinnern
dass nicht ich das Monster war
das ihr Vater war
den sie so liebte und bewunderte

The battery works

Her image in my head
goes away.
It persists in 
going away.
When it's there it's a battery.
Women, by their nature,
go away.
They seldom come
and stay but a short time.
Having tasted I hunger
for that battery.
The going away
makes me weaker than before.
The faces appear to be different each time,
still, the battery works.

Politics on a small scale

She grabs and cuts and loves to slash 
with glee and rash, 
acts most offended when apprehended. 
Whoever stops her is subliminally called 
a criminal.
Withdrawing tactically threatening to resign 
she's showering a deceptive weakening 
hope 
on some 
while feeding fear of loss in everyone,
as she is sorely needed: a perpetual guard 
against the evil-minded unknown 
hordes.

Hure identifiziert
 
Tier 
das jagt mich ein Jahr 
ohne Gnade, das ist 
die Drohung 
mich 
zu verlieren im aufgerissenen 
Spalt 
eines Bebens bewirkt 
durch unerfindliche Maschinen 
das ist 
eine Hure im Souterain 
meines Hauses 
bedient 
einen Pornographiefilmprojektor 
der klappert 
und 
die traurigen Stöße der Darsteller pflanzen sich fort

good god

not good, god isn't, 
belief isn't to be believed
just is, or isn't
