Black Cat Firecracker


But this was the setting for one of our murderous scenes.
This hurt, and goes on hurting:
The venomous soft jelly, the undersides.
We could stand the world if it were hard all over.
-Donald Davie






Only a fool would stare straight into the sun

Some Neanderthal or dimwit

Dazed into submission


You would think the sun,

The back-blasted icon of the universe, would be

Amicable at the very least

A beacon that was not to be fled from

That creator of life and light

Could not kill

But everything that breaths light

Burns in their own way.
