soul management II

By B.I. Kukla
you stayed on a balanced diet
of caprice and forfeited rules
devoured books and data
you didn't listen to any fools

in your department of superiority
there is a hard drive full of guilt
stones that you turned were heaped on a mound
but your treasure chest was never found

how you build your ministry of falsehood
is not your private matter anymore
girls you betrayed will sing bad songs
boys you deceived will tell bad jokes

the words will flow the words will grow
the choirs will be preached to and then wail
your world will be filled with someone else's glory
and there will be no prophet to tell you why you fail

you pray for your dominion to grow faster
you believe you are reverend and stout
but when you call yourself a master
there is no Savior to bail you out

iron-y

By B.I. Kukla
why burn the bridge? so that no wounded birds could live under it to keep their wounds alive your irony is like sulfur “no” is a burning word takes the iron rod giver to say it right they undo every right and fight for every wrong like that recalled letter of apology drop-dead bird mockingly unsent ungone, unknowing of its power ironic like dried sunflower on a blue chalkboard the art of death reigns in their hearts there is only defiance of dessicated flowers  between acknowledgment of rain  given in the right season and the first hydrating sip of life as it were to be fractions matter, splits of seconds are life ages of stubborn magma buildup can crumble in a blink of an eye, when you see how many grand personas brake down between saying thank you and being grateful always

upside-down inside-out song about a mental cocktail named delores flores

By B.I. Kukla
she was like a walking floral arrangement marinated in forced politeness glazed with jealousy and sprinkled with pride but there was the voice in her jar, the cry madness or God? a baby or a cat in heat? she asked but nobody knew all those puny politicians she met fake jesuses and fake madonnas poorly acting bad lovers and bad clowns breath odor apollos under the unbathed sun... she was pickled in her baby time stamped with madonna's face for eternal shame her cemented heart did not remember itself 'slap me, make me laugh, i provoke, i don't beg' became its epitaph engraved on a city sidewalk by her tears she once shed before she became a walking howl of a desert with a whip in her claws and a stare of a chef her mind covered with thick layers of caramel she kept the wind still with sugar icing and hiding from the sun under the layers of fondant futility became her way vanity became her safety goggles as she walked with less spring and more ...
