All My Friends Are Wolves (a poem)

All my friends are wolves
They bear a hunger in solitude
They lost the world of their desires
They stay locked up beside skeletons
Rainbows of sadness, new emotions
Yellow as birds they had known
Hold up the smile, lose your life

in a lonely street

Frank from Denny’s

Swamp City (a poem)

She glowed in the sticky street,

cigarette hanging from ruby-red lips.

I wandered among musicians, drunks,

strip clubs and bachelorettes in sparkled masks.
