Demons Again


Demons Again is a poem I composed using words from Rick Moody's book Demonology, and acrylic paint.


Demons 
          Again


words hurtful
unfinished
perhaps clued…
irony put back
in the canister

we want to enact
to purge, need rituals
gold standard
of associations of
sentiment party

alcoholic
adventure
followed by
unloading
epiglottally

more about egg
this idea that
we come from
some chicken
the birds

Jack ‘n Jill sideshow
Nice to see you!
physical contact
if necessary
get right back

distant little house
to play cool whoredom
at the edge
beyond the woods
of my cubicle

in this song
gentlemen of honor
prefer blank verse
which is to say
mercifully instant

Here is a look inside the book, and that's my lovely slim thumb. :)
