 Grill
 
stunning hamster lit the cr
awling-group my ash asp st
uttered past my backside you
were seated  .finger gun t

my sleep a tongue fog issued in
the linted air  .snore the page ,fil

lake my cloud craw paw my
crowded fangs renamed like

writ stalled my loop and sl
ashing gasp’s lumbered faster
than my cracking hide or
whirring meat



 
Chixagco
 
capped my storm gland puzzled

cussed in the streaming zócalo sin
rascacielos ni city hall the
lake is boiling beneath my feet
.the sodden shoe the headless
mayor the street between my
eyes curves back a field of
bodies turning over in the
greenish mud the cap blew
off my hair or history rained
back and saw again

in my shod dump luster in
my spatter cloud sleep in my
dung lake roller in my soggy
moon flake in my intrepid sot
thought in my dogged doll rent
in my fragrant shorts wind in my
