writings and artwork by NRM

the yelp's
from wavy haired women
who finger themselves at night
fantasizing about carnival workers

the husband's and band-aids
looking for some
lost pathetic child hood
there is no robin hood

no politically or creatively correct

there is only this

ruptured fingers
speak moments
in solitude

to cream glazed
roller coaster rides
in the headaches
they all
shrugged off

another never no's
another's thoughts

when one
never no's
his own

the yalp's
like cotton candy
with loose bolts
swarming bats

eyes of love
prizes lost and found

in for the night
with harmonic ghosts
sugary teeth ache

there is only
one
among many nothings
