The Pathology of Love
1.
He is a psychopath.
He wants her love truly
madly deeply
Delights in strata of pain
she inflicts…
Her brown eyes, twinkling
cesspools
Her orgasms quickly brought,
A supermarket of vengeful
menstruation.
She is an angel to his masochism.
Shit on me he begs,
But she will not stoop to
the pleading,
Making his humiliation
So much more poignant.
What can I say? I am a sucker for the work of Dee
Sunshine. I find her to be the poetic equivalent of Aristotle’s wisdom. These
poems lure you: each word falls in your mind like a vengeful ministration. This
is a book of delicate and fluid language. It rolls around your psyche, gently
caressing you with every other line. Its like the images that one experiences
during a slow walk across the city. You know, those images that tend to dance
around you as you pass through a windy day. It’s like watching the dance of
cigarette smoke in an empty room. Dee Sunshine is just that type of poet. You
know what I mean. I’m talking about the poet who can drive a nail through your
hand and have you scream with delight. This is where I am coming from: I love
this book. It’s filled with good poetry rising from a laughing trail of bones.
I highly recommend you hunt down and buy this book.
