Heartbreak Café
She took a bite out
of love’s apple
teeth left chattering
sidewalk hill
she staggers
coffee
a round of passing trains
ghost of sister strange in the
midnite mirror
Heartbreak Café
Homes burn as fast
as you move in my dear
How many starts have I left
again
the engine’s salty
feet are wet
scars are piling up like a six car highway skid
Firelight tunnel bleak street rites
faces distorted as a split witch shake
saw the angel weep shook me straight
Heartbreak Café
Love sweeps the floor
Pain paints with grace
soot caked from yore
night chimney clouds
another night of rain
Devil stirs
pushover shakes
coconut woman
a loose flank
in the fishtank
of Nexusland
solitary swag
Who do I turn to
Everyone gone
Kids, lovers, wine, song
Zipped Buddha wails, zen forest steaks
sunrise cooks me
light years away
weeping willow
bows to the passing train
The devils pitchfork
spiked angel boy’s kool
aid
phoenix flew in tattooed
his velvet skin
caterpillars knowing grin
dancing flame
all is quiet at the
Heartbreak Café
