What the blogboys know of me excites them and the moral presentations of their authoritative scrutiny. My own family tree -- a placenta -- is beyond the tremulous breath of cloaks covering their gatekeeper walls: skin and bone. I was there when he was born. Played football with him when he was awkward. He has opened his pain to the sun not unlike the way he opens his linen shirt. The familiar ache. The damaged boy is ruthless.

What the blogboys know of me excites them and the moral presentations of their authoritative scrutiny. My own family tree -- a placenta -- is beyond the tremulous breath of cloaks covering their gatekeeper walls: skin and bone. I was there when he was born. Played football with him when he was awkward. He has opened his pain to the sun not unlike the way he opens his linen shirt. The familiar ache. The damaged boy is ruthless. Wraps his legs around the womb that is my life. Brings home money (the rent is due today) from the tricks he seduces desperate for him. The Chelsea Hotel's All Night Watches. His is a memoir of pacing. Another breathless child filling his mouth with castanets, a stone's bed, and with me. Crawls into my warm blankets in his perfect underpants. We are the apparitions in the ghost hotel. A phantom voyage of the newly dead. The guests have all been satisfied. And now I hold him as he wraps the rubber hose around his beautiful arms and the blue river of his veins in annihilation. Nightlong sticky in our dreams. Sucking up the infinitesimal neon light outside our sleepless window of desire. The river of baptism is forever flawed.
