shouts down satellites                   Sounds very confident!
making my love's an interruption        Wasn't sure of the connection to the previous line so I took away the implication
a flaking conjunction,                          like the idea but pause on flaking a bit
licks the gunpowder off my hands        disturbing erotic image
never turns around
except to signal goodnight.

Baby has more to say
than a splintering bomb on a holy day
cutting the wires of salvation                   setup for puppet?
letting me fall one finger at a time         I like this line but a little bit of a mixed metaphor with wires
lifting up my sacred dementia
tossing it in a roadside bin.

Baby is coming in my direction
on a live end street                "live end", does that mean something specific?
leading to a refused desert
where saints wander barking      my favorite line
at moons of distraction.             consider ending with moons and use different or adjusted modifier.
Baby’s got no knees if you please.      doesn't kneel  rhyme feels a little forced here

Baby has to play “no way”
for the jackals of pleasure
in time to the music of nursery requiems
reducing the fusion
to absolute confusion.
Baby’s hum across the bent nickel sky                another good line
knows the journey

a contorted trickle half-way to Heaven.
Baby makes my puppet move
as smooth as baby wants it to.                   I like the ending but the strength ebbs with the last three words.  maybe end at "wants" or find loose rhyme with "smooth" (choose?).
Hey Tim,
I get a dysfunctional almost abusive relationship vibe with a hint of prostitute.  There are times when I lose the tread a bit.  I found it interesting that you didn't use any pronouns referring to "Baby".  Thanks for the read.
