Dragos Poems
life was pretty nice to us
by Bogdan Dragos
same thing
After a painful breakup
she would
have her sister over
for some hardcore drinking
and nasty chatting
Usually
there would be a little over
ten shots of tequila
......
our very own patron saint
by Bogdan Dragos
he was a doctor
Goddammit, they were looking at
a doctor
He came into the casino in a suit,
the same suit every day and night
dark gray
shiny with grease around the
elbows and lower back
smelly
......
sweet dreams, brother
by Bogdan Dragos
The last time they visited him
in the hospital,
mother made the big
announcement
She was once more
pregnant
at 44
......
but was it though?
by Bogdan Dragos
but what if it was
all a dream?
All a nightmare
What if he wasn't just a construction worker
who fell from the
scaffold and couldn't get up
and was in incredible pain from the torso up
because he had no more feeling below?
......
horny and creative and desperate
by Bogdan Dragos
He went nine years without doing
it. Five of those
were spent in prison so it
was just normal
but the other four he spent
desperately trying and failing
He did look fine before
he got into hardcore drugs
and crime
......
an old instrument with rusty strings
by Bogdan Dragos
he sits alone in the
darkness
on a wooden chair
The walls surrounding him
have no
mirrors and
the windows are covered
by the thickest blinds
......
feeling the train
by Bogdan Dragos
A pretty thick
slice
of hell
That was life
so far
But today things
will change
......
no country for romantic men
by Bogdan Dragos
and the few survivors who couldn’t
fight
were lined up
along with the civilians
and shot
or killed in ways to entertain the soldiers
And dogs were trained to
tear them to shreds
and the ground became black with
their soaked blood
......
songless bird
by Bogdan Dragos
a songless bird
that would be the nicest
name she’d been
called
the others,
far more common,
being
that little wench
......
hope she’s okay wherever she is
by Bogdan Dragos
she kept saying how much she
hated her tattoos
and kept showing them
to us
"Got 'em when I was young and
dumb and now I
jus' wanna rip my skin off."
