shitkickers - original poem

shitkickers

he's a golden specter

an avatar of disgust

holding on

to childish tendencies

dreaming of ripcords

and chainsaws sawing

through gargling

putrid corpse guts

in a blazing cove

under witch-hazel trees

deep within the shadows

of his Powerball play 

mind moves

the darkness swells

in octave steps

slapping his skull

with a leather-gloved hand

so he decides 

to head to the pier

grind up the Morningstar's

fresh new carcass

and destroy the evidence

vanquishing

his first death

into flaking maroon bits

and a collected 

severed head

dipped in methanolic flames

atop a Babylon

of ochre bones

dusted by graveyard dirt

and stacks of sorrel

bio-organic crumbs

stomped out of existence

by black shining 

shitkickers
