Diamond Dogs 1974

Cara Losier Chanoine

Hope, boys, is a cheap thing—
it even smells like a street,
and changing isn’t free.
I’m looking for the treason,
having so much fun
with the poisonous people.
If this trade is a curse,
then I’ll bless you with it.
Oh dress yourself
my urchin one,
and run
to a cellar like a church
til the sun drips blood
on the seedy young knights.

Beware the savage lure.
Mannequins with kill appeal
wrote up scandals in other bars;
hunt you to the ground they will.
You’ve got your transmission
and a live wire
but they’ll split your pretty cranium
to wrangle some screams from the room,
while the lizards lay crying in the heat.
They can’t get enough.

Gentle hearts are counted down.
Give me pulsars unreal,
and I’m in tears again.
We feel that we are paper,
choking on you nightly,
trusting on the sons of our love:
some brave Apollo,
he’ll build a better whirlpool.
In death, the shutters lifted.
