Saul McCandless

How I’d love to whisper, sugary, in your ear
Take away your emotive pains and fear
If for one dismal day or one sensual night
Kick loose your boots and take flight
...

...

Like humans used to...
Like they/we knew to...

Then again no one does anything
...

Never, not now, fear
The dark, dark wood
For I am anew
Grown beyond your tiny years
...

Undefined or so
When you want the whispers back?
You'll find all things lost, friend
The fault is all mine, so come to this feeling.
...

...

A boat to the sea
Uncomfortable in me
A bloated love infection
Super-natural selection
...

Can you
Help me with
The words I've spoken
Try walking or,
...

Noel was meant to dispose of them
He must not have, as usual

And to senility, I bow my head
...

How to make art pay?
No real way, I say!

Like University of Life jokes
...

Razor blade lover
Absent vanity
A thousand years ago
In yellow rain-stained sanity
...

...

For what right have you?
This cowardly stance,
These lies and untrue riddles,
I cannot sense the anointment
...

I am separate
Where once was a pair
Just like everyone
Really, actually are
...

I dug her blonde dreadlocks
She was an art student
She dug my black dreadlocks
Our time was not prudent
...

She was what she was
I am what I am
Insignificant
Unworthy lamb
...

Could you be, strangely uncruel
Ill at once, to point out my mistakes, and view
My menace has mingled, and now in your birthplace
Stands my evil parenthooded
...

I see the way you are forced to look at me
As a matter of fact
How I would like
To disarm your gaze
...

When I throw this cigarette end
It must go in the bin
Somehow
For the rat at the bottom of the garden
...

Goldfish bowl
I didn't mean not to
Change
Your water
...
