“She dwells with Beauty—Beauty that must die”
John Keats
Put down that Dickel, drop that .44.
The true connoisseur takes his heartache
full-on. Were you less alive before
you knew her than you are now? So take
all that sorrow and glut it on a rainbow
trout or a river full of light. Women-
to you, they’re only beautiful when they go
away or die, and joy’s only joy when
you know it’s going to turn to shit. Time
leaks out of the clock and poisons all the flowers.
You there, hiding in your little shrine
of bullet holes, don’t try to trade your hours
for sleep. You’d just as well hang your soul
on a bowling trophy as lose it on a girl.
