Leftwich / Bennett - NEEDS BLEED


John Bennett
bleed fools

news demanaged
bleat teeth sit
King doom fax
anger swallows
disaster thing
virus groping
subjunctive year
right mouth is
fringed tooth
corona fake
dollars repeat
spinal digress
abominate the
short smoke fear

A Hack of Jim Leftwich's
“We Need … Four Poems”

smoke's the rage
pale eel & lunch
door borer flies
cheese gland
baked in sneeze

Jim Leftwich

soaked in page
lape leep
in a bunch of church
borderline dice
bordering the flea clan
snake cake in the face
with field peas

by the boat cage my pace
flips the deep
by the church crunch
my slicer morsel
By the Lump of the Don
my slaker slacking palace
pallet jack peace & greens
by the greed
of their sleazy lease

the hope the sage the
piths and zithers the
zithers and piths the
Leaping Lunchchrist
Hearse the clothes
hamper Humpty Thumb
the the thy thy they they
thigh an eye for a thigh
the sack
the seam
fleet as a peach

***
John Bennett

it's the nope age
it's the lathe and splinters
it's the sleeping lice
it's rehearse yr clothes
it's clamp the dung dumpft
and dry or dry or dry
it's the kak dream
it's the feet's leach

***
Jim Leftwich

It's the cope wage
It's the math ladder

It's the spelunking tears
Weeping rice

It's the research
Loathing and damp
On the tongue

It's a clump of fluttering sky
A kayak in a seam

It's the screech of meat
Preaching to its leash

***
John Bennett

It's not the sloping page
It's not the feet spelling
It's not the mouth lunge
It's not the grunt dream
It's not the lashing speech

***
Jim Leftwich

coping saw, no.
paginated ping pong, no.
a fleet of pelts
lingering like a knot,
no.
no grout lung mung
bean lout or
router. no.
no punting beam of snot.

John Bennett

Yes, it was a slaw
Yes, it was a sting
Yes it was a smelt
Yes, it was a finger
Yes, it was a not
Yes, it was a dung
yes, it was a scream
Yes, it was a gout
Yes, it was a sock

the straw wash
the wing wash
the melting wash

lingering in the wash
it was a clot wash

the eyes clot with ash yes

the tongue wash
the dream wash
the snout wash

yes
wash your clock

***
John Bennett

law ash
sing ash
felt ash

fingering ash
sought ash

lies ash

flung ash
bream ash
bout ash

ash yes
cock ash

***
Jim Leftwich

wash your ash
wash your claw
wash your song
wash your pelt

wash your figures
wash your doubt

wash your flies
wash your lines

wash your lung
wash the stream
wash your clout
push the river
wash your hands
wash your flock
taste the clock

***
John Bennett

waste the rock
waste the rock
waste the rock
