DEVIL<br />

have you ever felt the devil<br />

like a storm wave<br />

swim right to the threshold<br />

as you and a girl make love<br />

and with the voice of a choked stream<br />

demand help<br />

perhaps to cut<br />

your dream life short<br />

when tulips flower<br />

so very sad<br />

bereft of time<br />

that he might share<br />

something heroic<br />

at the games others invent<br />

in stories of unfinished fights<br />

and fictional as many things<br />

possessing eyes<br />

lighting fires<br />

hands that can shake the world<br />

and thoughts to wring out<br />

violence from every man<br />

but worst<br />

to feel the devil as you stroll<br />

with promenades<br />

amongst fresh fruit stalls<br />

still sitting<br />

strangely quiet<br />

without even a<br />

bottle of beer<br />

just sitting<br />

watching you<br />

and waiting<br />

BEAR PAWS<br />

bear paws are massive<br />

he can sweep the world with them<br />

bear paws<br />

are impractical and un-useful<br />

when he destroys that which he wants<br />

kiss these paws<br />

suck each finger<br />

when desire<br />

crumbles on your lips<br />

you will not return to sense<br />

desire regardless of the cost<br />

to find yourself<br />

amid a world swept by<br />

this beast of fur<br />

the plush lookalike<br />

you’ve loved since childhood<br />

SQUARING THE CIRCLE<br />

a square<br />

is perfect equality<br />

of a four-sided world<br />

a triangle<br />

is a poor square<br />

a circle<br />

is a perfect square<br />

a sphere<br />

is absolute<br />

but only<br />

squaring the circle<br />

is invincible<br />
