  1. the weekend warrior

    by , 02-10-2009 at 08:04 PM (Silas Thorne's Journal)
    'Come here, my little friend'
    the weekend warrior suggests,
    taking his weapon from its shelf
    and staring with intent focus
    at one point on the white wall
    by the kitchen stove.
    one flick,one kill!
    he breathes out his ki sharply.
    The master of Iaido fly-swatting
    wipes the scene of the murder with tissue
    then washes his hands of it.

  2. there were secret paths...

    there were secret paths known to us,
    bird**** paths within bridges
    where we could walk
    straddling electrical cable:
    Deathstar catwalks,
    an empty vast droppingdown on both sides,
    where the wind gets in
    making the inside, outside.

    Without keys, no adult could get in there,
    but we were adventurers, magicians,
    coming out behind our parents
    waiting for us on the other bank,
    who wondered where the hell we'd got ...

  3. short words

    by , 02-10-2009 at 05:18 AM (Silas Thorne's Journal)
    They scare me, long and epic words
    stern and alien,
    like an evil aunt
    constantly patting your head,
    who gives you
    boiled sweets
    that take forever to dissolve
    that solitary black sandal
    someone left at the bus stop.

  5. firing sinistral fingers.. (chant/rap poem)

    by , 02-08-2009 at 11:58 PM (Silas Thorne's Journal)
    Firin' sinistral fingers up with skyward lurches
    I'm hangin' with the hot shock vultures, under bridges,
    torn-out eyes on stalks, bouncin' in the twilight breezes
    and crumpin' with Black Venus in the space between perches,
    hunting by the edges for lost change and trinkets,
    lost, within searches.
