Lurid Session
Cover me
…In macabre
Skin candy fucks
My virgin meat
Cover me
Black…
Penetrates soft tissue
Bizarre outlines emerge
Cover me
Images and their fiction’s unfurl
Many phantoms materialize
Here in my skin…
Cover me
Painted soul
Flesh riddles… in ink
Shade my dead
Will I Return
Never again
Will I return
To this place
This moment
Broken habitat
Filled with
Hazy relics and
Selfish phantoms
Never again
Will you
See me…
Feel me…
Love me…
At your
Shattered doorstep
My rented Illusions
Weaken

Shawn Leckey grew up primarily on the Rosebud “Rez” and traveled nomadically throughout the Midwest and Southwest hustling and grinding in the quagmire of life throughout his 20’s after which he entered the Marine Corps. After five years of honorable service, Shawn enrolled as a student at PSU and was inspired by his mentor, teacher and poet, Anthony Vallone, who encourages him to this day.
