untitled 2

the poetry of rodger pegues once the leaves fall from the trees
outside my 5th story floor window
through the limbs of trees
grown up through pavement
I can see the snow-capped
mountains in the distance
thinking as mountains
looking down at us
from the dragon perspective
all those
microscopic clusterfuck folk
have coalesced and constructed
have changed the natural to their concrete nature
but I don’t want to be a victim
especially when the pain
belongs to someone else
especially when invisibles
need extra blankets
and artificial limbs
dismembered in wars fought to advance
my pregnant notion
the bastard of freedom
his mother a dog
licking the vomit of muddy
epitaphs written by inclusive
fat people on sabbatical
to an unknown region of earth and sky

sky like fire
4 as that bitch burns
it reigns pleasure and seals
the envelope containing the judgment
of our flesh
cast to the Lake of Fire
searing flesh awake
brisk like ice showers
snow in heaps
discarded white shit
as the potential
of flooding waters
catfish tug boats
pilot the bayou
dead body
in tow
mismanaged chicken, pork & beef
rat, hair & roaches
cocked delivered
to the gallows
of usurpation
filmed live
on camera phone
piled along the roadside
of oil and coal
black sand
in crushed relief

untitled 1

she awoke this morning untitled 1, rodger pegues
6:15 AM
with the shards
knives of glass
stabbing bloodless wounds
into the golden body
golden brown
& ash black pickaninnies
sitting on an upside
down bucket in the shower
for the hours
water fall motion
heat & steam
speckles goblets
glistening beads
falling, crashing
flooding porcelain
prism vectored drainage
soft left
she is my love like
hot water
boiled blanched
black skin
clamy tightness
to the touch
of a reluctant massage
if life is fair
why do losers win
and winners lose
chill factor
shrinks the tender Nubian pores
this is my process
exposed
naked
 
if baby’s are so beautiful
why do they grow
into old men
that commit sins in the night
if money can’t buy happiness
why will I be happy on the 1st

if
if I’ve got so many friends
on facebook
why am I all alone
if God loves me
why did he kill
Jesus, or invent
the devil
and pain
and suffering
to make me stronger
even in my ignorance
the passion of my mystic
self
monkey monkey
zulu zulu
Omniscient Science
LOrd know me
help me to reveal
among these
ignorant pedestrians
the true of measure of my character
so that they might know me and my
genius
this day
if only
for my pride
I would rule you
and then
I could be happy
if only
for a moment
if

cold

the coldness
in the wind
bites my skin
the dry cold
the grocery store
a memory
left behind by
fallen secret shoppers
awake in their awareness
searching for
lobster bisque
if only
food stamps
could buy wine
if only
young hard women
were attracted to nasty old
black men
if only
sacks of dope
lay on the ground
waiting to be found
and consumed with
the trashiest of
urban prostitutes
with dirty finger nails
and bad teeth
these are the women
I want to fuck
and dismiss
back into the night
if only they would fuck
and leave

faces

faces
worn
telling stories
from people
that know the meaning
of pain
and knots of hunger
gurgling up from
empty stomachs
on baseless plains
featureless, flat
swelling, breathing
with that human power
to see inside
finding beauty in nothing
and love from indifference
I was once a child of ignorance
so that now my false wisdom inflates my ego
so that no one can hear me
so that in my intellectual prism
I am but
a prisoner
in the chains of spoken words
