Poetry: Christmas Clubbing


Literary Sleaze

Lavender lightning.
Vodka supper.
Last supper.
Insomniac journals.
Shakespeare in the park.
Shakespeare after dark.
Leather studded shadows.
Basement bass.
Smoke tricks.
Denim.
Unzipped.
Concrete tundras.
Toll roads.
Steel girders.
Mesh corridors.
M2M / MEMBERS ONLY!
Industrial vistas.
Ambient machines.
Knowing mirrors.
Quest.
Factories.
Tattooed spirituality.
Literary sleaze.
Jungle heat.
Panther silent.
Philosophy.
Graffiti.
Leather jackets.
Liquid skin fuse.
Metro mirage.
Shakespeare in the park.
Library nightcaps.
Lido whitecaps.
Volcanic smiles.
Lava and tonic.



 
Clubbing

Dark smoky cabarets are secret worlds
Populated by the tacky, camp and lonely
Shadowy men smoke glowing cigarettes
Illuminating carefully culivated stubbled faces
White Christmas lights blink in corners
Blonde mavens add that Hollywood glamour
This is our world on lost weekends
Catty gossip over electronica songs
The DJ has my memories.
