Stars
Antony Hitchin
burning out
on
hot nights velvet wetness
smoke smouldering, coiling
borders bleeding at the fireplace, the corners
as a bedtime story,
high on amphetamine sun pouring liquid …
lounging was our violence
O the memories!
through transparent membrane walls everything starts
changing
flashing past in
fragrance of white musk
she was the last stranger to me
did it so convincingly
celluloid screen fantasy, with a hot hiss of intimacy
‘just for tonight’
anniversary
cigarette
tumbler of whiskey
evening haunting me,
swallowing these chalk
moon blocks between
brandy
her daddy’s decanter
gleaming crystalline,
her tongue our skin
like stars.

Lycanthropy
like winter
burnt frozen in tides of glittering snow with
pain twist fresco
dreams die emanating past fading
night sky lit by dead stars
living life in museums that preserve nothing
fingering wet forbidden thoughts of wolf face lycanthropy
conformity
sanitation
categorization
yet I feel animal
soul sap
dunce cap
diverted from cause
are you bored?
masturbating unlived dreams
raw shrieking at moon
clawing moss of
Auschwitz death monoliths
networks shift
illusory
electricity.
