These Junkie Decks

Bewildered with graphic images made from cider.
Laugh at cats eyes inbetween failures
and wipe the drunks off the pavement.

Cabbage brain, junkie vein.
Delirious feeling , roll the child in carpet debris.
Willpower eaten on a plate.

Scratch away memories, dumb and blinded.
Heroin wolves gnawing to the bone.
Drill syringes into grovelling arms.

Midnight. Howl behind rotten teeth.
Suck the crying pulse dry.
Heaven and hell in a screaming rush.

Curiosity killed the man beast.
Draining needles of the chocolate wonderbliss.
Addicted to a foul king.

Magnifies elation. To the underworld.
Shield the eye from horror,
weep guilt into the arms of mother.

Father God save everything,
for music kicks the door.
The heartache of the thunder kids...

@Steven Francis poems 1995
