Bernhard Emil Bruhnke III Biography

'I said to the almond tree, 'Speak to me of God'. And the almond tree blossomed.' - Hubert Selby Jr.


Where is it?
...

One day I wish to know,
as the scars of devils do,
when your eyes, married to the auburn fox,
will remove their pantheon of petrified ghosts
...

I heard a song of a lost messiah.

Who walked with a barstool's enthusiasm,
while preaching his post card gospel...
...

I did not wish to sleep with old gods
that stand trying to evoke the grey skyline of modernity

That preach on hummingbird wires
...

Love stumbles in slowly,
with a gypsy stanza of wounded shadows pouring the
faded light off a checkerboard stage...
the echoed command of the flagships golden oval banner.
