Holes

I am the man who
digs a trench, four walls for you
walls made of mud
four eyes made for the cathedral
how pretty it would be to be with a beauty in the country
but here I am with the worms in the mud

I can smell excess
this hellhole reeks of excess
of worms gorged on garbage
it’s on my cold hands, mud covered
every coffee cup from here to kansas
emptied on the surface and sunk down, settled in

The beauty in my mind is now laying on the beach
her hands are on her hips and my tongue is in her teeth
and the light from the hotel behind her silhouettes her shape to me
I sigh and stub my cigarette, her head turns up to me
hm, my imagination’s cheesy
Like bad film noir

The bombers blaze ahead
above my hole in the night sky
1943, the cities of Europe are up in flames
and the only thing to blame is a few mad imaginations
including my own damn imagination
as I sit and think of WWIII and grant the thought reality

Everyday begins with coffee and digging
and everyday ends with the closing of blinds
the beauty holds on tight, in the hole in my mind
the hole of the whole in this hellhole at night

 

 

Doctor

“Kill me” my doctor said, I have the worst doctor in the world

My Doctor keeps calling me at night reminding me I could die any minute

I told my doctor that I went to another doctor who said I DON’T have lymphoma
my doctor was mad that I cheated on him, I am mad because he intentionally pretended I had lymphoma
our relationship is not very healthy at the moment

My doctor is from Somalia, his dad is a pirate
who ever heard of a Somalian Doctor?
I think maybe my doctor is just a pirate in disguise

My Doctor told me my feet were “gross”

My doctor uses words like “illin’, buzzy, brosef, bitch, cracker”

My doctor is always bragging about how much weed he can smoke

 

 

By Cameron Churchill

was born in 1992 to John and Bronagh Key. For most of his early life his father was away working for Merril Lynch (a wealth management division of Bank of America) and his mother was often sick from a sometimes violent alcohol problem. The job of raising his two younger siblings, Stephie and Max, was placed entirely on Cameron’s shoulders, a job he was not psychologically up for. Cameron was violent and conniving; his behaviour was typically psychopathic. He would one minute be cruel and violent and the next be crying and apologising or acting sincere and sweet. As an adult, Cameron works a cushy job as Director of Media Management for the NZ Police Department. In his spare time he enjoys firing his Chesterfield a48 semi-automatic pistol at the shooting range and writing poetry.
