A weekly video reading of poetry by the poet.

I Have Outlived

all my addicted lovers;
those mendacious devils
and their heavenly tricks
are most likely looking
up my skirt from somewhere.

They were always
on a tear
ripping out my entrails
to chop and serve them
to their beery friends.

The pandemonium of making up,
diner breakfasts, then back to bed
is so unseemly now that I am old

and they are not.
