Three Act Death
21 Grams
For S. Lj.
My soul tears apart
like the threads
of a torn dishcloth
that umpteen times went
through the washing machine
and so my soul umpteen times
goes through the purgatory
the 21 grams you send to the devil
but they keep returning
to eat black juicy poisons
in your hair.Muses
All of my muses
die sooner or later
they get infected with some
strange sickness by the poems
and I watch them leaving
to be reborn
in life of some other women
who don't infect them with verses
in whose eyes there is no universe
no gardens in their souls
no innocent witches at the stake
no unhappy madame Bovary.
Count Dracula
Count Dracula is the lover
wanted by every woman
whose husband is an idiot
Dracula does not suck blood to ladies
because he is a count
and his manners
do not allow him to do such a thing
Dracula sucks blood
to the boring husbands
who with the help of doctors wizards devils
try to kill the count
the passion sickness of their wives
whose bodies twist and jiggle
in an abnormal way in bed
the sickness unknown to the husbands.
