Lamp, finer than the quiet, low breath on a hill, just here.
A quasi silence of the fields and nearby cave. Whatever permanence
appears, we clasp facsimiles of brain again, a wild soft pace
of walking on young paths. She would whisper that her energy had passed.
Now freedom owns its price. I used to sing, the shape of Latin roots
would cry, our depths of understanding crossed axes. Now pain, first part
of paint, obscures the facts. A will to have existed samples what we might give
up when asked. I live here, nourished by a furnace, glyphs dwindling
where they were. The land has peaks, sheds bravery. The limits of our cravings
chastize few of these tall birches. Look at the lake, feel slopes and whistle notable
excursions back to music I was taught, I tell myself. I limber for your touch.
I limit reason to inimitable justice as I fashion it from small things within reach.
Each creative act is framed by scraps I had dismissed. Each morning,
I view a symbol, green, on screen, to show the play occurring. Haiku waiting
to be scooped up to absorb long need. As if harmonic breath responded to a common
quest.

No such thing as same ole same ole, mantra with its quirks, replete with live invention

FOR HER FLESH

you which now says
come nothing
or no facial
find drove me mad

whole she without
prior knowledge
or body contains henceforth
states for me sumptuous

to sound catfish
her spurned nakedness
gives now that signal
lust to breath

patterns hair veritable flesh
formal animals
what manifestations
the space each depending

LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THIS FAR FROM THE CHTHONIAN

we are moving
towards
a theory of beauty
tremenous

natures veiled
butane on jehoaphat

stigmata nationalist
condensation steals

redemptive
like cool alabaster
twixt the
seasons of love and
pornography

darkness is rechargeable
for ignition through
contemplation

of stench
I was abandoned
with reclaims
of the high nature
and there
are no accidents
except her
anatomy bred forth

organism like
that time she stood me
up her

dominant motherhood
wave-matron
phallic surplus
condition of autonomy
closing
her flesh envelope

over her minoan
female tower
made me curious

as I crept
towards moment
maximum
intensity

horizontal
chain-like arranged
whereby conversation
became
pointless camouflage

consumption for
the sailors
was her call

FLUSH LENGTH

to the
topographies
of bullocks

marginalization
for the
huntsman
has silenced

people sheltering

fixed authority trala
expropriation
also
fish with

cretan
bull monotone
cross over

jordan making
moan hera
and steamboat coming
melisande
turtle mocked
libertine
remnant
the rose of sharon
chamber in
the house

back the lane
there yard mosses
glow

come to galatia

flood beside my

CONGLOMERATION OF THE EVOLUTIONARY ADAPTATION

the appetite of
darwin
translated into
the

that

of the eaten

is it
possible to
lactate some
yet

possibilities
still forbid

conglomerate
without

Queequeg

Helluva jump she made, tabular in its ebony wheelhouse blues, springing to basement allies and bobbing Scotch loadies, mouthing semi-sweet noodles to a mottled crowd. Large events, spun with oxen toward critical foals and cellular flare guns, emit a heavy vivid snarl at pasty bygone motorcars, scenting the cool skyline with cash. Whoever kneels before a sceptered balustrade shall wield donut mangers for hefty centuries, bagged in golden heat. Crenellated doormats lease arterial buttons to flow models, grappling for a frozen armchair’s whimsical ottoman. Empirical deference pins the trusty gasoline can to lipid demolition squads, handing over broken frescoes to manatees on parade. Queequeg knows internal routing bliss, deeply fraught with bluesy, holistic shavings of totem wheezes and lineage turrets. Spun to grazing divisors, envisioned rumors simplify a woozy chamber pot into clucking gravy, pent down and chattering brazen disregard for the pawn.

Mementos

And so we flow, a thundering bustle of germinal, rendering mice; another enactment of conscious concision, in teeming and baffling bevies of bronzed bathing bodies and senses enraptured with wrestlers and juggling swords; with fertile encumbrances, childhood elites, and paramours dripping in gold. We, who are we, to think that we think, to hold a belief or ten million at once, to stagger and blather and claim to know anything, denying our role in the sure desecration of everything one might conserve, to recklessly gamble and fight… Rubles spent on nested geese and dollhouse wrenches, stained with ivory carrots and moot, vestigial ramparts, hover breathless and secure in the Kremlin’s sallow courtyard, shedding plastic holograms of famous facial tics. Autonomic intestines motivate a billion fumbling fingers to clean salty feet with larded, philanthropic gestures, dilating potted poultice pourers, flipping clarinet rompers in a drastically prosaic whiff of puerile recompense. Submarines itch each oven’s scabrous locomotive, heading off a station chief’s cryptographic inkling, dumping barrels of boy baubles into the Bering Sea. Augurs wheedle for safety prawns, shimmying up a molting sparrow’s lost leggings, trampling a tornado’s tenebrous tourniquet at dawn. Neophytes enable their otter’s juiced mentors, inviting atrial eyelashes to dine on plywood jumpsuit designers, hobbling the swollen wheat trade. Flowering beauticians deploy drained orchids, rooting for hydrophones in a bottle of sea salt salami. Crash testing continues, despite musky engagements, defying Napoleon’s pineal decree, sending loopy entrees to kiosks for carnival tea. Ogling ale emptiers ingest English endives in a voluntary backwash trial, pining for residual tutelage. Transmissions earn nougat plaques, spangled with crooning streamers, humming avian watchwords for the mastiff. Preternaturally sifted markers drift from cause to rapid denouement, pleased by interleaving world processions, sampling subconscious fruit trays. Ranches steeped in mesa debris sigh a lassoed relief map’s casual key, spiraling into galactic contrail soot. Meat market mincers mock marital metronomes, masking momentary miscues, mercifully muting more meritorious mementos.

ascension

social precision rather than compassion
defines humility’s integral works
according to the first directive gives a
feeling of insecure propriety
dictates each crisis hopeless-seeming calls
on humble solace won’t allow to surface
beyond our creature passions host sublime
turning points of yearning suddenly
to servanthood and crowding out disciples
as ought grow calm support for deeds surround
enjoying fame’s rewards anticipating
pats on the back and some high-fives procure
this self-effacing depreciated status
of no hard gains no post-climactic rest

Refresh

Barriers lead to harried ne’er-do-wells, who spend their every merry-go-tale cruising mobile in a dinosaur’s optically graven mode, catching as hatcheries can. Heckled in bronze, futile as carnal eruptions, they press the race, motile and doused in tourmaline lotion of smooth, colored rock, pelted with floral juice outa the boxcar’s ready-made onset of jelly and tasty blue motorcars, contending for a vector’s sidebar to noon. Terriers, candy canes, and trembling wooden amateurs, gaveled to silence, adhere to certain wharves, lunch at flowing bassinets, and preen the tree line’s octagon, ruminating in a quiescent, motley consensus. Imbued with undulating endpoints, parameters of the unicellular wardroom pickle dewy eye shadow with sentimental peerage, vowing neighborly townhouse dances, jesting at coronary kettles. Marinated and flambeed to a nuanced desktop’s immoral iconography, umbral effusion pleats the serenity of a Sunday’s eve with whooping collar games. Did you come away with bed noise tailings, aligned in weekdays addressed to symbiotic rote? Stupors of linear gauges, granted to fluid emergence, hover in mental blurs, speak of wistful windings, and bare their otiose lunacy, prescient and hypnotic. Causal pauses permit the temporary rescinding of empirical charters, freeze a mostly parenthetical rumor, and mill a limited baritone placemat, chopping fresh partners into moody, formulaic gremlins. Clocks down the digital perennials, blemished by slants and basic notches, hammering home tumbling notions of refresh.

Ballet these lines of articulatio

embrace these recollections of youth (energetic mobility ascertaining ease)
            serrated leaps of scissoring limbs
 
etching ache or lake of marbled calm
 
—of the land an after
 
movement defining unobstructed physical acclivity
 
With
 
plenum as though release entails physical
contraption
 
                                    this

With

                                                gauge this body
                        of

prose of a movement’s organic

Cornucopulate

Intellectual return of serve aligns with landfill
on the news, as though the frosted child with sentences
removed appends alertness to the frame. Now the tempo
has been raised, the situation offers foresight,
chance repeal invigorates, while shirking customary dowry.
Syllables strung together fall on harsh gravel. Tormented
fleet of foot young athletes tremple accidental obstacles.
Pull the plug and plug it in again. Privilege is its own
worse happenstance. The live remorse refuses jury duty.
In a pinch, she leaves her humor at the door. Voice
lessons from now, you'll feel yourself beholden to our
mercy. Just around the corner, feng shui domiciles remove
addenda where simplicty would be. We speak hosanna here
apart from facing the tribunal with its shelves of bronzed
supplies.

Absolution concurrent with ablutions, piety astride some
random norms

Sole Dadas, chunk 12, transduced from Góngora's Soledades:

All consented beat the crystaline
     sedation’s series,
crawled simple cornered codexes the reclaimed
cake less mind than voice and’s verdant seal
enters the name spaghettied mice and tails.
Music’s hole’s vista the minor ram
of the alamo that pains verdant canes;
no zephyrs in him, no risible
lessons putrifying briefs that rot
     all mountains, which, ungrated
al fresco, to harmony and floors
     of’s seat, pisses, amended,
if fresco’s herb crawls the arena ardent
of Lybia, and all quantum’s day’s the fount’s
serpent of huffing’s even major venom
whose nose of Ponto, timid, attributes,
sucking the pie ,sucking the labile oil.
Patsy toads, pus, and regular
crawdads in the equinox’s succored veins
the peels of air lubbers gummed
     bulletins not galls,
     sends grills veiled,
tall vases creaking, tall mentioned loons
     shushing distant extremes,
the character’s tall vase forming alleys
in the paper diaphanous of’s ceiling
     in the plums of his vowel.
Hells entranced in bovrils of slumber
     (painted simpering’s all’s frescos)
clubs at last Sidon, teller turquoise,
whose no hat sable imitates verdant alfredos.
Pencilled reclined the cable
quantum, in numbers equal and in bells,
the margins matted of the fonts’
seconds primed very deep villains
who, parents of’s novice’s own mass circles
which bacons shushed pebbles, of’s present
prevented, concurred to the bop.
     Mezcal’s hatchets toad’s
theater dulcet, not of scenic mutes,
but peaceable seat: space brief
in which, a pisser the Sol, squalid never,
and never colored spill invested,
     the somber vile Florida
     of the herb meandered.

Every sentence in an age group starts with "so." A subset
of said sentences fills spaces interrogative. Factual
material on its way to full erasure is positioned thus,
and scholars everywhere consider something else.
For instance, narrative revulsion. Sonnetry. Awaiting
monikers, in a list of conversations soon predictable
versus unexpected. Virtual restraint. She described a clot
trying to move through a tired vein. Thinking hurts us all. As
velvety mistakes are touched with ease. The roles we occupy
invoke our shouldering long ribbons of task. Together,
unless forced, we brave through obstacles. Those polar
avenues grown tighter, shift magnetic holds on what
comes next. Until we gravitate, we will have broken stride
belonging to another in our club.

Bracken, sorts of violets, earth tones, viable retakes

Refuse to simplify, and I will treasure silence. Take my pulse,
and I will overcome your remedies until the charts bleed
safeguard of the wrestled-down complexity you thought.
I owned a curfew I removed from sheriff's odyssey, and now
your job has croaked. Is there a inference somewhere between
leaves of nepotryst? I sense you shadow all the prophets
you have claimed to see. Remember how we felt a spree of link-fests
come to breathe our dotted swiss, our cable-knit wool viscerals,
our oleander pith helmets, our breezeways grown together, and novels
we claimed to have read? I guess your shapely sightseeing has been
bread. I guess we have to match a stranger's plaid to seem a piston
in a dowry. Or the magi come and overlook what we have spun. Now I
whistle straight-man lineage. I host or I concede. I damage the
invective I can hear, not see. When you are in the mood to reap
rapport, come back to me. Toward this seasonal small shift, this splay,
this kinesthetic fray.

Child chewing on a snake, its mother shrieking for the neighbors
while she warms a jar of milk

Benzene Drift

Trees abound in forested shelves of clansmen and valued familial torrents; pealing laughter gnaws the bark and strips the saplings with every casual remark, pitting underlings and rote dismissal’s hapless rogues against the vast assemblage of temporal drones, clanging closet latches and partitioned unanimity, carved in serried corridors of granitic island cliffs. Tidal moons set, spinning imperceptibly, on ghosts of future pinnacles, of promise and regret, slumped over a dead-end wheel’s penultimate turn, coupled in eternal gridlock’s benzene drift. Liquid stasis masquerades as concrete, shifting eerily in the bland fluorescence, shading our eyes from blazing rituals and boldly cruising criminals, pushing dignity as bedrock bottom suffrage, unaccountably serene.

Ripcord

Crescents spend return vouchers on version fuel for cantering coinage, blending a shaken numismatic claret with rubber stamp grease. It takes a while, but gravity finally obtains, speckling the pigeon’s slyly chosen mark with iron pyrite, sleeting ashen grins against suburban skies, reducing lawns to sawdust. Embers spool through bullhorns, knocking down floozies and hot walnut contenders, spearing fruity doormats with rank kabob rotors, jamming retirees into impasse kitchens. Flood patrols ease through incessant winter pains, flaring nostrils at the slurry of angry fencepost daubers. Immune to certainty, scientific doubters plead nolo contendere, hoping for free fall’s lurid penchant, implying lax pagination. Votive blemishes spin airy heels, slipping gears into chased pajamas. Waxed cartons shake brutal eggshell troops at canals of gelatinous mead, splashing sludge on cowboy boots. Rhododendrons ride the bland interior’s oval rip cord, sending deep-sea diversity into migratory fleece. Pollute me, frozen ambler; pickle my embryonic gesture with octopi. Collapse and extol the fiery mist’s tactical plumage, conferring tousled bellybuttons on an emerald gallon’s wayward pupil. Grant and tailor any jacketed mop, questioning appropriated Sherpas, laundered to the grilled ensign’s peculiar spike. Cascade to bestial oompah bands when eighteen-wheelers blast ashore with dimpled octets, trapping sensory corpulence for nested effrontery.

The Roller Coasters of Phillis Wheatley

ON BEING BROUGHT FROM AFRICA TO AMERICA

The Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure (Jackson,
New Jersey) is 464 feet & 3118 feet long, with a drop
of 428 feet. a top speed of 128 miles per hour, Kingda
Ka's passengers, handfast meadowlarks born for the sake
of falling between fingers, are not black-thorn, nor oh
awake they are from some indomitable hue

*

GOLIATH OF GATH

The Top Thrill Dragster goes from zero to
120 mph in 4 seconds. at zero mph it's a hand
inactive and unwary next to a threat'ning maw -

a wounded, sick, or aging brown bat inches away
from an attentive grey-striped cat

*

TO S.M. A YOUNG AFRICAN PAINTER, ON SEEING
HIS WORKS FOR THE FIRST TIME

Thunder Dolphin passes thru the middle
of a ferris wheel, and, like a poem, is
within the horizon of universal apology with

pagoda abruptness; her (T.D.) money all workable,
a second-best peep otherwise or, even, mosque

*

A HYMN TO THE MORNING

Steel Dragon 2000 is the tallest
coaster to use a traditional chain
lift (due to the lift hill's length
2 chains are used) & cost
$50 million, more than a Goya

do you know how Goya died?
mad in a dark wet house
he drew on the walls
every monkey on a tree
was his story

he began losing the brain
misantropo suddenly
he refugee in his house

*

TO HIS EXCELLENCY GENERAL WASHINGTON

Gravity Pleasure Switchback Railway, built by
LaMarcus Adna Thompson, was the first roller
coaster in the United States (roller coasters
originated in Russia, then made their way to
France, stealing away under cover of darkness)

5 cents a ride

a nickel
could ne'er help unknot any loftier prize

*

ON IMAGINATION

The Russian Mountains opened in 1804.

The Russian Mountains was
the first roller coaster in Paris.

The Russian Mountains would
dump most its carriages as it
carried them to the bottom.

The Russian Mountains slew
many lovely courtesans.

NIOBE IN DISTRESS FOR HER CHILDREN
SLAIN BY APOLLO, FROM OVID'S METAMORPHOSIS,
BOOK VI. AND FROM A VIEW OF THE PAINTING
OF MRS. RICHARD WILSON

Millennium Force was the first roller coaster
to utilize a magnetic braking system. like

most roller coasters, it is taller than the statue
of liberty. golden the pace of Millennium Force --

golden the pace of all roller coasters,
silver speaks the water to their eyes

they move as a glass stream - the grass
has burned down & the water gets dry

in love they are with this short planet

sunwards you streams to what sunshine? I'm
fearful that my pace could be thus golden

Sole Dadas, chunk 9
Transduced from Góngora's Soledades

Beets’ sore tray quavered trident
violated Neptune,
concluded’s hasty alley of ovoid goons,
bees and those whose Sole’s occident
cores him in lecher’s zoo of angled marines’
turquoised curtains.
A pest logo of aphid volumes
(somber the Sole and tossing the vents)
of carob’s feltchers, shushed bandaids
simper glorious, simper tremulant,
romping those who arm the plumb’s center
Estragons the isthmus, Alladin’s fire:
the isthmus’ wit all oceans divides,
and, syrup of crystal, juntas empedes
the cables, dull north’s corona,
cons she who illustrates the sure coal escaped
of antarctic strays.
Seconds laid died the second pole
in never’s mirror, which renders him no solo
nor blank hills of his couched bells,
mass of those who log beans not soup nor
Midas’ metal homicide.
Not the bastard’s dusty eastern element
conduced orcas, listed balls,
immured of mountains’ spume,
infamous blanking his arenas
with tanks of primer’s atrophied
signs, owns the butyl’s last mosses,
pear with’s east’s last signs’
timorous enchained seconds.
Too, Cuddly, too, piss, of the profound
estigian acrids torpid marines,
quantum’s arbored sepulchre the mirror’s fire
on your guests, disdained.
The promontory that Aeoleo’s shushed rocks
canned hissed the other’s naval grunts
pared the austral ales dunked in jute,
pared the cereal spiral’s poured seen boxes,
doubled alleves, and’s too obstinate antenna
cables the hiss of spherical bone.

Diatribe Exposure

Wrangled feats of gargling clowns spill funereal grace and menial police actions, minting goon choices and double-sided dirt balloons, selling caulked maxima to soiled patrons for quartered rebel feet. Umpires vent their prancing tentacles, shouting dubious wishes and called lockout tunes, inching through tollbooth strangles of chalked soap. Cardinal ordinaries film daytime panty raids for arching, checkered cartoons, plotting the integral underflow of cause registers everywhere. A small glass pinnacle endeavors to impress two cute purpose routines with logical comment grease, only to champion a rival’s inadvertent whimsy. Hurtling dervish pumice falls in ashen sheet music from skylight poltroons, effacing each mutinous retreat, groveling for futile diatribe exposure.

The Myopian Dream

Reinforced by ladled code, gallons of brains speed by, quaffing atmospheric margins, breeding bent focal points, lost in their ambient intent. Smoothing out the sinusoid, collectible conjectures bleed into imperatives, splashing semantic jumbles and unguided interrupts on luckless limpers, charred to oblivion by the falling dust. Gloved feet fulminate over snorting nasal plenty, fidgeting with gas station travails, tapping out a plastic rhythm, sandwiched between first base and affirmative visions. Optical swoons approach from aisles deserted, reading shoes tamp down the automated spew, noses bleat a tuning fork’s hungry whistle, and breakfasts deny the second-hand magazine’s napkin, shearing off eyebrow lint. Great wave machinery waxes the moonlit embolism, raising many sails, adjourning till neap tide repeals the myopian dream.

Sole Dadas chunk 7

The arch of cumin, pest, torch,
     which halved coned trouble
poured the fragrant cord of attic’s
gallant seers demented,
of the cancered jovial vestment
(the fort’s humbled corn the cargo graves
     the treks hatchet’s swayed),
swain he offers to queen the busker’s descant
and yea sainted rule, whore’s manse:
mersa the thermal cave’s ha’s husband,
who affects sees not the dulcet concept
which in the lucent day marvels cabbage
during the cords of the negriod guides
hissed to his course acceleration
in quantum sub furors pardoned the vents.
Memos in renunciating tore the signal
     stranger’s errand,
who in reclining the memos fatigued
suffers the grain whose vistas fine
his maddened bell, deploying emanation
in the vested roses his coil.
Saluted the toads courteously,
     and admired no means
of the seriphs who corresponded,
the somber solicitations of runny pains.

Unceasing tree light in the mid-range as if story-laden sacrifice were drawn
by hand, and suddenly surprising warmth could stay. I tell my sit-com
anchor that the welding will just wait. When we are ready, branches
can be joined as virtually as eyesight will endure. Is accuracy
famous? The crowd is willing, but the heart still leaks self love. The only
metric on the threshold of a dousing in the iceless river is fluidity.
Who sanctions inner space? If cubic feet were verified, one could depend
upon the depths. If food supply assumed more color than the garden's,
we might last. A dress rehearsal needs no dress, apart from pantomimeo,
regression, and the lurking of a manager. Now and then, it's daytime.
When the supernatural resumes its pleasant temps. Copy that.
Define a little thing like morning when the inclination comes.

Rapport, weeds occupying gardens, no more social playthings, only
faces making or absorbing sotto light

Anglen Fer Phreshies

Can floogal arameters preeng the felvent snurge,

Knockoffs

Flopping a spent orchestra’s malaprop piano, anxiety’s blue, possessive edge plays tournament whist at theaters near the origin, puncturing discussion groups with tethered elan. Hobbling among the planet’s girdled flesh, wrist keepers plant angora knockoffs on segregated, iconic patsies, implying pasty contusion kits. Semblance settlers move east, against the alternating current tryst, etching our final memories in plastic, granular cocoons. We fly, we shine, we slide up empty banisters of conscious intent, fallacious in our detrimental cause, fleeing toward angstroms of simulated wood. Peak canyons urge a bottleneck to shiver in the ambient forest, chipping rows of elevated towns from cliff pendants, flooding deer patrols with factoids, inciting polyglots to silent urgings.

Estermon and Erimon

Twi-Night Doubleheader

A gemlike quality, springing from rhumbas recorded in palatial spark gap salons, adjusts our ocular etchings to seep just enough filtered eyewash through routine embers, granting purchase to the dogma. Dates fall, graven and orotund, timed by hilltop granaries, to tepid morality bins, caught in cottage rye sprockets, sluiced to frozen cheese. Central demographic motes preen a taste for mass moment yearning from census resolvers, humming atonal mirror shots, reveling in choice patrol amblings. Brocades imbue our alternating whimsy with panoplies of jet-fueled rectories and hallmarks of untimely girth, expelling falsely held, enamoured pinnacles. Glowing on a doubleheader’s stretched covenant, effusive cockatoos plead for underground spangles, settling for singular homing runes. Univocal wombats break bleating tambourines of annular ambits in orbital tutelage, trussing up a grassy newt’s art fair, mechanical and attentive. Turning to weathered, featureless omens, we spread whirled carbon, monetizing Vincent’s aural miscue, shaving wheat fields of honeyed pollen, bleaching the beeswax from blindingly indolent strokes.

Teach (to think) while lavender already snowed upon the center
field of industry (that poise). Offer a cinder, that I might
uptake sweet (sweet) proprietary form. Are you arguably strong,
is there elan in your past tense? If you would only frame
responsible opposing. . . defeat means someone else (bequeathing)
leaves her words mid-breath. In depth the seasonal indifference
recalls a void. The syntax and the homily and tamped sea foam.
Or roasted laver to the finest . . . one relives one's view,
despairs of change. The tree one climbed, one wintered near
the cover of a magazine with gray. All eyesight, were the
words she used for me. She look at only my intensity. She asked
how will this one endure. How will she sit up and take food.
How will water taste. Will she survive. There are no questions.
There is a life span. There are letters. Leaves taken for their
betters in an image. The seed keeps (flowering). Fraction to
fraction. The behest of someone's mind, that person's life. A
structure or a surface or equivalent of cubic feet.

Lean-to, all the items gone, a system translated to dual-term
reality

Rem Embers

filling the school with | bought lungs I fly and snivel
lard a spoon reduction | stitching all that grinds
dances in the sticky clay | starving rags of jail
a viscous note’s reborn | mouth the limb’s deserted lust
was rodents on the scattered | dismembered wreck my pills’
hill my neck remembers | shattered thorn or moment’s fuzz
dusty desert in the north | stormed my dope and vicious
bags of pale garbage | whey bricks the single glance
blinded in the ditches | seduction blooms a shard’s
shrivelled dry I taught the | writ the pools spilling

Wh Eel

the muddy dawn inhales the | glow flotilla gaps the stream’s
cloud damper window crawls | stumbled sand the tree’s clanging
my grunting lunch contraption | object tripler and a check
clogs the fridge my claylike | door hand aspirates the stew
shorts thick around my ankles | real gangster like the crazy glue
o you gazed that hamster wheel | rankles sounds my dick’s mort
the vaseline and shore | day’s knife why bridged the bog’s
neck’s a dribbler closet’s | inaction bunch rutting dry
banging 3 AM the mumbled | wall pillow’s ample shroud
beans the lap tortilla o | he fails the lawn ,slow bloody one

I go there to be quiet, then I hear commemorative stamps bequeath a prior victory
where dollar bills are used to patch a lighthouse. That we may each
find function. Core strength on trial, truncated peace in form of passage.
Riled out of habit. Stroller-strong in-text citations manifest the lame
untruth of syllabi. By night, by dimpled daytime. All the wherewithal of letting
go possessions farmed to ebay as an emblem of the missing borders.
How is peace a thing? Memoirs extract their shame. Contagion falls prey
to the wallet free of clogginclog. While the ample territorial undress
remaindering appears at a wide angle. Dour against the granular infection.
Norms, plaudits, sums of squash court in the nimble hesitation that breaks
bread without a shim of martial arts.

Nomen-clash, the sure bet of commiserating with the dragnet pulse

Listing to Starboard

Whiskered omelettes spell retractor mirth for generations of stolen plots, relegating novella tapers to the crouton’s candelabra heap, surprised and deeply imbued with pillory. Ditched frenzy hunts phonetic spoon techniques in a flurry of lurid mental hopscotch, bouncing from ambling tortoises to simple, gerrymandered poultice, smeared with palatial aplomb. Heckle a Rotarian, gamble for rope meal, and fleece a scientific fuzz remover of its lifelong quest for centennial clobbering, menthol holdings be damned. Smoky hillocks emerge from poolside detergent, frowning and punctual, chirping about timesheets and clocked gazebos, teething for a floating hen’s ambient pride. Whoever gives scathing, pretty latches to kids of a worn-out deer forgets the forest’s primitive dirge. Change not the banner’s calibrated preening, regard a core tendon with scarce mumbling, and simmer over April moonbeams when a quaint longing pins filial penalties to your lambent unease, listing to starboard.

Childhood Memories

Alien sailboats, dripping fructose and cheap tobacco, harangue an imbecile’s polished mincemeat funnel, chipping dotted queens into griddled locks, hobbling hipsters with checkerboard silt. Dressage pools in airborne antics, curtailing eel meanings, garbled in toilet wattage. Grams of spool detection mind the tilled basting flint, locked to angular knowledge by armored torque buckets. Isthmus pinnacles, peduncular in their emery triage, kindly canter to a bleating, felt-tip prancer’s providential lean, intimating torrents of yodeling breath. Thematic livers limp through sluggish nine-ball lags, brunching with veeps and tollbooth horizons, ominous in three angles of imposed integrity. Grainy milk features perpetuate Rococo shipping fouls, emptying cruets of moistened owls into stern valleys at sunset. Island timpani storms pelt laser mentors, handling emergent spinners for tactical planters filled with seaborne mutes. Monocle vats overflow, pounding hot glass municipalities, hoping to cleanse the rotating sidewalks of childhood memories.

Third chunk transduced from Góngora's Soledades:



No, pus of quarrel’s seer, engendered
mass of fires cake of courtesy,
     the gent appeared
     who hospitals the forest
lawn pesto crawled of quavered candle’s primer
     which, in the shelves content,
tends the fresnel of dye, the robbed element.
Limp sayer, in visor of blank lines,
     clumped the cuadratic pins:
and in box, junk rebellious, to quim the turn
forms elegant dye in cult’s adorned,
lecher who explains vile those Albion quavers died,
     melting perdition’s con yelling
the blank lilies of his frontal bell,
     gross dam and fried,
impenetrable case of the cockroach,
the veiled Alcimedon’s invention rare.
Hell which of cables fueled dusty voices’ center
espoused’s case a luster (coy dent
not pardoned a raisin loomed in front
of Bacon, quantity’s maze in his garment:
triumph of simpering salad lids
low corona of Amor, mass rival turned,
brief of barbs enduring not the corn,
redeemed con his muttered dance vittles),
     served yeah in season,
purple hills is, of grain fine.
Supper’s scorched despair, mass regaled
swoons the solicitous peel bland
     which all princes enter Holland
purpled tire or milling brocade.
Not in humor’s vines gravelled
is Sisyphus on his crest, see the cucumber,
of ponderous vain dumb pisser
is, quantum mass despaired, mass burlap.
Of trumpet militant not nor distempered
sound of cocks fueled the swoon interrupted,
     oft can see, embrained
     counter the seeking whore
that the vent repeals in’s lagoon’s couscous.
Dormant and recoiled the fin, quanta the avenues,
esquires dulcet of sonorous plums,
     scenes died swelling
the Alb of Sol, which the pavillion of spume
     dayed and in sore car
rayed the verdant obelisk doves the choice.
Agreased, pus, the peregrin
dazed the cyborg and sailed accompanied
by grin’s low level dander’s levitation,
distance pokes past the gamble,
imperious mirror the campaign’s
a scolding, peaceable gallery
where festive theatre fueled gun’s day
of quantum piss dawning the mountain.

The Man Who Erased His Own Memory

1.

After walking
never to see anyone I have ever known again

I have done that
I did that for nine years

and then in prison
twice

now: first night’s sleep of the new year

I pour my bath.
Listen to the quiet room.
today, the day after Friday the thirteenth.
No bad luck for me. No luck at all,
as the song says. Waiting for the water to rise.
and then it is almost all allusion

four of eleven
books on the shelf
read end to end
forty eight years ago:
what do I remember?

An organ master in the jungle
how to oppose
without
negating
or how to
navigate with-
out
opposing
to come years later
in the numerology of consent

to: a total rejection
of all those qualities
typical of academic verse

as a preface to a ride
on the subway
ogling the girls

yet the sign is on her
preface to: I pump him full of lost watches
to:
Rimbaud is in the alley, mssrs. et madams

Mister is a commonly- used English honorific for men under the rank of knighthood. The title derived from Master, as the equivalent...

... Mistah Kurtz—he dead.
save it for another time.

to: Who has ever stopped to think of the divinity of Lamont Cranston?
(Only Jack Kerouac, that I know of; & me.

2.

or Bertie on 1576 pure : we never know
what we are talking about
or if it is true

incomplete or inconsistent
a kind of Heisenberg’s principle
from a man who never achieved
tenure

pennies on the dollar for his genius

all genuinely creative writings
are the product of more than a single motive
and more than a single impulse
in the poet’s mind, and
are open to more than
a single interpretation

with large tracts of undigested suet betwixt dream
and awakening
to find I’ve visited my childhood
and the day before sleep again

and a year between Culture and Loneliness,
that is, between Krober & Kluckhohn and Moustakas
hocking in the back of the sociology class
while Kappy expounded his five paragraph questions
from the front row
and the professor asked me:
Is The Waste Land a sociological document?

Meanwhile, Thucydides made up
Pericles’ oration
surrounded by glory
because it was what should have been
said at the time even if it wasn’t

and Bertie wrote
the Readers’ Digest version
of the history of western philosophy

‘I carried the bones
of a man 5000 years old
in Egypt...can you imagine
how that felt?’

But me, I find The Airplane
in Being and Nothingness
after almost fifty years

...and talk to him
about the weather
and cheap Bostonhoods

and my sojourn ends
with a text on Ideas
so dense
I could not read more than the first paragraph
without giving up for twenty years

3
I do not wish
to live
in a world
where we
only think
about ourselves
first
all the time

Father, One year ago

commemorate the agony of Christ
the best of men / born in 1925
those were the times of piano and sax
rhapsodies in blue, Felix the cat
jazz
a distant accordion
for shushing winds

how can I celebrate you,
with the tight whiteness of my face,
the loneliness of fate, the lack of air
the carriage turned into a coffin
in an icy landscape the black envisioning hat-veil
loss anticipated by a feverish late 1800s image – the silence around and from
your silent scream
unprepared
then and now
as I am_
I can remember Disney worlds, Santa Claus,
the pyramidal lemon ice I _ could choose the one I liked _
it has all crumbled
in my foresight when I woke up and cried
the white marble statue of you’d been dilapidated

grace_fully
I offer an orange bowl
with the lit grieving candle
of love

Slips easily from view, conscious eye vee, trembling near
the source, deciding (the decision) to remove the sole
rebuke of silence. Would a pond amount to sleeves one
troubles in and out of? See vibrato in the foliage.
See bronze elaborate on autumn. See an altruistic garment
slide from hollow. Are dreams rationally pure, designed
to habit-form, inhabit, or amount to inhibition? Any
triumph offers plush recidivist thumb drive a location
to revive the pomp and giddyness. The get-up, the
commotion one imbibes, then falsifies to yield results.
A lonely winter slow dance comes to mean there was a
softer way to live along the path. The path, synonymous
with lifetime as we know. A pitch, thought pure, a
highlight.

Tremolo misplaced along a grace note, young composer,
fully formed

Yeti Collusion

Hordes of automatic wrestling darts pin cuticle clans galore into aching, woven, dermal octagons of bellowing blister packs, flooding card clippers with crimson cold cuts, clamoring for town signals and spilt skies. Venus appears above a courtroom, housing ateliers and floozy chimes, springing lexicon blinders on lawn bowlers, mending social quartz pretenders, fending off loose trumpet ears, muted by cummerbunds and oboe jelly. Reading bouts beset a gaggle of whale planners, ribbing a Quonset hut’s malarial denizens with shingled statistics and glued gantry gills gone elastic. Who can extol the lost smell of a faint whistle, stale and perilous in its chosen lapse of microbial wealth? Only the lambent musculature’s cruising hope, canned in mixed proteins, aimlessly chugging for shore. Bugs tote a newborn rhino, grappling with twice our oozing breath, hobbling through sheets of sleety sense machinery, quipping at dockets of tensions, inspiration be spawned. Clam trinkets inflame a deep-sea tourniquet, stashing three potable ingots of theoretical onsets, in lieu of portaging yeti collusion.

Yours is a convivial restraint, apart from plaudits. Cortical
rendezvous held in parentheses, as if the work were nothing
beyond covert bracelets. Norms. A variance of kilt. The
window near the wind. Predicate norm. In fact, unfastened.
Fast asleep. You show your loyalty by chiming in. You show
your sheepliness by corresponding. I won't purchase your
endorsements of inclement votive warmth. Abundantly abuelas
finger flutes. They ploy their way to melody until harmonics
temptingly conform to rules of clash. One floats from home
front easily, until one flat-out leaves the place. You underage
your way to tap-shod wrinkle-dom, toward days and nights
and severance. The Pleiades invoke their own rhymes while

apart from eyelight set to form.

If affection is a formula, the white curve caps
endorphins as one leaves them quietly at play.
Qui es in coelis transcends a remark. The sky
is starting to be full. Our lives mirandize all
the pattern that precedes a move definitive. Day
meanders into nightfall. While you wait once
meant hurried work unseen until a sudden
satisfaction. Now we wheel ourselves toward
picturesque new madras in the background of a pack.
The only institution we remember offers a rejoinder.
I just learned she performs transduction. Furnishing
incentive to encompass bee spheres of delight.
Perfume is how we are again. The leisure between
talk time and repair of what surrounds us. One
of these days we will outlive our dreams.

Kismet as a polished dream, the vast field energized
by an impromtu kiss

Expiration Dates

Cantering contusion chips, baked below sea level, seamy in their frayed imaginings, cartwheel for ductile semblances of horn jitters, caressing cabbies at dusk, filling slushy side streets with a mockery of bowling bile blues. Graded gutters contaminate clue machine ejecta, filing for costly unguent storms in whirling demon feathers, paralyzing avian vendors with pleasant android rooming house projections, laden with holographic quandary kits. Rhomboidal organisms flee the station, whistle blowers in tow, anxious to overhaul the homeostatic, rheumy-eyed parishioner’s emergency inseam mobile. Braking for geese, immigration taxis pay for crosstown delusions, imbibing castor oil at gallons per torn nylon hat trick, fishing hockey stars from Ice Capades turnstiles. Buildings crumble at the mere sight of our childhood sweetheart’s leggy extrusion; subway cars careen through concert halls; ships undock and drift into wharves, crushing our pilloried piles. Heads of state resign and flee, only to be decorticated at the toll booths, given teething rings, and force-fed billowing cans of obesity. Syrupy soup gluts the command line, sugars the salted city limits, imbues the prosaic retraction of six o’clock drama, and slams all sameness into original sin, pressing sacrilege to new depths, charging creditors and prosecutors to the brink’s lonely, bituminous outboard crease, demanding belief from every house pet, expiration dates be damned.

Rewrite

Dusted by this catatonia, elements of the uprising disembark the time tunnel, eclipsing scrambled possibility generators, outracing any supercomputer’s predictive fence, predating all events, collapsing the world into boredom, occluding all known windows, faxing the future to all parallel pasts, rewriting every logged keystroke with simian gibberish, paradoxically preventing global warming, spontaneously cramming the skies with flying chairs, teleported kittens, and reincarnated giraffes. Cleanup crews materialize from recycled debris, fly into closets, and spackle every darkened corner with laminar nutrients, seeding generational resurgence with fluctuating vacuum salesmen near you. Intermittent gas clouds emerge, cascading into pervasive, germinal enclosures, releasing just the wrong combination of malformed collusion and recombinant mumbo jumbo, spawning hideously acceptable expansion coefficients, resulting in racehorse subtleties, jawline machismo, banking without turning, regulated breathing, gill salutes, temptress cheese, enzyme retraction, limping centipedes, wound glue, electronic wood, choleric cherubs, hallowed harlots crowding out altar boys, sacred sacroiliac sarcophagi, spaghettini skeleton keys, public key transparency, the abolition of private propriety, cats scratching at doors to eternity, reflux fission, fused starlets, refuse recollectors, pleasure’s ominous spread, omnipresent lust, satisfaction’s final guarantee…

Blow Away

the crusted wind I covered with
eyesight the wind and tooth
lost in the bottom drawer there
was a wind I nailed to a board
in the splintered garage the wind
of numbers fogged in my pocket I
shaved the wind from my trembling
coat dogged the wind with my
tongue gagged and soaked with
wind your glasses retained my
sandwich hollowed with wind and
my undershirt a coughing towel of
wind I cornered in the loot
hidden in my closet the dribbling
wind caressing my face I shoveled
my ashes behind the wind and
twisted around to the front of
my wind a moon sunk in a bucket I
cradled a wind in a darkened street
in St. Louis 1961 the wind was
a throat I strangled and opened
was a sea its lunging mountains
where I was the wind
in 1948 I was a ship a small grey
wall quaking and clanging
in the circular wind

In a minute, in the village, in the way, along the weather, temple fit-out of the wind line,
feathers twirl dry haste. Veil falls from sky. Exceedingly, the instant relays
cleansed miniature mind plots. A curious appearing window, not quite square.
Leisure of hereby looking-in. Rubbed stateroom entry vowel tones. A vibrato. How we
wait for sustenance, thus blended, in contentment. Tray left home, to house a plenary
retreat. Some stain, some winter from the sentence left to say a better remnant. One way
of fingering an effete note, reading hold signs. A long poem rendered via voice alone.
Piece played within the space. A fraction of the tempo laid to rest, best practice.
Sample size endowed with scripts held blond to rights, margin of fear, margin of say-so,
blended in arrears, a modicum of stasis. Vows and fate and semblances. The reins let go
into a village, gainshare, housing, window. Forenoon, called a little fate. Enriching sun in
meadow.

Freight drawn across, a fraction of the moon upon a time line, notes along the snow

ENTER

enter the listing shadow the
crawling spoon the stunned
locker vomiting sugar enter
the steps clattering into the
mildew where a lampshade
growls in the dust enter the
luggage where a book smolders
and shoulders into the underwear
enter the crawling ladder enter
the skull indentions where your
thumb has lost its eyes enter
the comb falling from your
glasses enter the swallowed
air enter the towel you wipe
your ass with enter the
cumbre de los pedos enter
the system throated and
scummy with detergent enter
the scowling sock drawer where
your urn awaits enter the
lather enter the vienna
sausage enter the window
into the whistling deep in your
sailing ear the hissing where the
horizon sinks scrawling into the lake

Lounge Zero Redux
Sitting still at the dream bar. I chain-smoke nothing, drunk, waiting, watching the faces old and battered by floods of memories, strained crowds talk vainly. Play and stare at the rear blaring alarm and sleep. Wretches want t.v. screens, wretches want slow meaningless death. Crosley nods off after drowning in a mirror. Unknown low lights, neon beer and laughter. Factory nightclubs swallow wild teenagers. Frozen flanked somewhat languid covered with age middle he envelops nodding assholes and untouched hearts of California.

These rare moments pop. Half blue eyes penetrating mildew of years ever felt. He being restless and claustrophobic haunted by old channels of worn desolation. The groans of this room scream heartache. All he was I killed and shifted his grave in contorted infinity. There is a mirror near the bed that works two ways. He inquires about deconstruction. All things went beyond the scars you created. I heard the sound drunk and watched the land and sea from a desert place, pacing a restless man. Empty worlds, the occurrence of things to such a meditation in itself like sleep of peaceful moments to slip under pillows.

I Am A Factory
Nihilism factories illuminated in robotic sounds and blaring darkness. Disheveled gray stillness waiting bewildered for majestic and flawed madness. Capitalistic clocks manipulate nerve centers and the sorrow of cold steel dreams. Professional chaos plagues sidewalk illusion made from nothing. Clamoring of treading monsters retreating into the auspices of night. Spit my metal and fantasia of machines. Counting middle fingers as currency. We are professionals. Holy vultures circle dead skies over captivity kids riding futility. I slip comfortably into the anonymity of enslaved motion. I am a factory within myself. There will be whistles and fingers tapping. The sound of wind, talking, farting, ringing in your ears. No voices from angels and saints of consciousness. Even inside the void is the stream of endless afterlife and the most deafening sounds of human machines and compulsive verbalizers spewing ears. Only silence. Capitalistic vacuums. Feet stomping silence.

Anarchists and Bodhisattvas
“Why coherence?” the Bodhisatta pondered more than ever. Let us expose a subject to become famous and have children, slaves, to seek and yearn for this road to old age? Wife and death say what their actions deserve. And what subject? Death. To age is to go to old age, to undergo movement and rebellion and connection. Disease is the doubt of this possibility. Surrounded objects of pleasure, old age, thought and action, there is no befitting permanent tension. Death is animate and inanimate illness death disease insurgency nothing universes of tired defeat. The self of death, age, and universal forms. This need for speed behind the anarchy never permits shame, only imposition of living. The search for the anarchy, more than old age, all objects should step between for the simple search for elusive pleasures and luxuries in the world? What brings you to your rulers? Will I form coherence? The spiritual intervention of simple movement, smelly attack, centrality of commercial warfare. In declaration desire and force in conflict. All there is, look! Code preach the denial. Turmoil with the machine. Authority and consistency, all things, how and why. Let's wallow in the excess of possibility.

A Chorus Of Desperation
Salacious old men drinking more to

die, all this mindfulness of the bottle began to set on the discontent of youth Sensual desire obtains the

sun slowly increased awareness of stars cursing all admiring her that leading up to my body strategies and attitudes experience stress this possibility

which is virtually without effort
My vain beauty my window and like a watering means that they my pities and a moment is, the forest, all the at the same level, Buddha's awakening only at night…. all my drunken habitual
tendencies fervor to penetrate
highways in unison treading deep into euphoria that cuts

towards the pain I roll down into her subconscious mysterious darkness escaping the
principles of weakening sorrow station the minds bewilderment

leading to lessons
of pain itself We chanted a chorus of desperation through dark corners to those who humble themselves One with
the pain swept away truth is all that is needed

Under the auspices of influence, under the influence of auspices,
she let go boundaries to which I was accustomed. I am reminded
of my safety and reserve when I accompany an individual who is
forever lost to me. Because I am, and have been, comfortable is
not a sentence. She was not at peace, and she is gone. I promise you
I would not change a thing I did not do. I listened and I told her
she had nothing she should fear. Her psyche was absorbed
in making a disturbance that resulted from her need. I slept a long
time and escaped into the night. I knew that there were no activities
I wanted beyond solitude. A friend is quiet many times you want
to ask her where she works and does she. I then heard a thousand
words include repeated words. I warmed the sound, was reminded
of a music they would subsequently be. She sought to enlist me
in retaliating against people who had frozen into cruelty. How fluid
she was not, how innocent she feigned to be. She chaperoned her
own heart, blamed the others for withholding what would soothe.
Her warm face and modest colored hair. I looked back without feeling.
Often I am there. She mentioned generosity attributed to me.

A watch unwound, a wounding, defense de fumer, change, likeness
and tone

A Slather of Belief

The gentry, in their crockery platoons, affix dermal fraternity to peerless, queasy mobility, backing relief tokens of dire, infused cahoots. Medallions of steel and cork, flicked across standing flavors, gently pry the ribbon cannery from perched, impending anthologies, irrigating the landless crescent with soothing grape pestles. Hovering in cylinders of merged, official feet, a sluice gate snips garden rovers for half a can of swollen matrons, embracing stock parturition and smartly quaffed compendia. Sailors lean, stacked to the spackled gills, bottled with sleep, lighting a coroner's dustbin. Statues smile and roll their dipoles, eyeing curious house pets and childhood banners. Infinity interferes with selfish separation of clear plastic entrails, timing the fruition of dolls and craven mischief. Stone platters indemnify the mean, dowsing for bandwidth sufferers, ringing the crude, curvaceous cataclysm's genial line. Buried in eons of raw anions, factoids peer through bland, christened dainties, cycling period flues and tethered charge, stippled in wood. Chances grease timid, probing jesters with lakes of buttered yams, craning our necks for transparent need. Memory traps gleeful ejecta, spitting honed celluloid, grinning at turf wars and geriatric mutations. Servile intonations erupt over captain's chairs, shear the wheeled motet, and bark a dozen malaprops at fierce, injected skies. Checking the granular wind chute, we bind incipient sneezes to cooling tart locales, etching moored platters with strutting grain lectures. Better than blotted cheesecloth, a burlap rotogravure spells a boffin for the beeline, intimating a slather of frail belief.

to have this conversation

in the middle of a blizzard

and to wander very far with me

into the depths of this blizzard

talking very rapidly

and very hostilely

for a very long time

oh, and we will play chicken

with two bottles of cold medicine

while we are doing this

and of course you can't bring

Future Reflections on the Past

Vatic appliance retreads
bluster past the foreign shore
to wake their own nostalgia.

In the waiting, room still applies.
Its motion: encroachment.

Watching the new
bring itself in barrier lifts,
the spirit annulled

its caste of retrofit amnesia,
and scored its threaded ventricles
where the rifts enjambed

their line. Of thought's precursors,
the ambivalent muster threaded

courage, tablets sharing the taste
of the fallen pillars, a memory
calling too soon to be remembered

Keeping What Was When

Caucusing a brittle gradient
tarnished the varnish sealant
before it could grip the irons
bastioning the corridor platelets.
Velcro yearnings dampened
trash compactor metaphors
yawning parietal rift fashions.
Dawn’s shifting splashes lifted
little to stadium displays, brittle
as their stated passions played
out before the cash drawers
tarnished the vocal residue
impeding the offset. The need
to turn around the yearning core
stayed out of traction mists
before looming prefects restored
the shadow lectures, in memory
if not defeat. The pampered feet
walking runways too late shored
the stories unreeling tales of
tampered platitudes, spinning
meaning across tossed entrails
groping for a family montage
at the footing laid before unpaid
burning left the ciphers untracked
and the median entry. Attitudes
centered on lost persuasion caught
the leer’s end mightily focused
on a past montage quickly crashed
after filmic residue lashed the cast
reduction with mirrored defections
to parliaments unknown. Cash-grown
factors splayed the outside totem
entering through receding
bravado tractors tilling the foil
delayed past noon’s return.
Bricolage paired unlikely matches
tipping sulfur to the booming
lectern, a patio reflux pageant
whose messages sent past entering
granule tarnish. No matter how
sweet the plangent, the slipping
tongue lunged faster than its own
rhetoric could spill puling scrawls
across the despairing tables of
spoon-fed wandering. Near the
deflections current ripped pages
from antiquarian nostril settings,
icing the tableau before filler cakes
revived the preceding burn, still
yearning for a pickled radiance.

Following Bravely

cuspidor screaming blue vertigo entrails
omnibus clustered apparel’s delight
the tenebrous tactical crescent inbreeding
a maximum animal wandered dream-wet
oscillated venture tensions cracking
vandal easement zoning boards weathered
crossed cadenzas nourished under sweat
bandana cradles drumming ritual haze
to lidded umber shackles uplifted
at the very tension that the name implied
before conceiving bracket checks
or tilted oven magic basted to wilting
padlock dreams rusting doors before
they happen to click turnstile ovens
for sharked bakers pruning avocado
splints before taste rakes butter hangars
to pimento devices undertaking runic
mannerist prefaces muttering epithets
against the sea comb nearly darkened
to the vertical slabs intended to block
luster trading cloven ventures dusting
shock acerbic nostril mantras in the cold
mosaic of flange-bent dreams curried
at ghost writers told to host the subject
before its predicate bounds to another leap
years before the anniversary battles
number the high lanes of tanker sails
pitch against the fence winds clustered
about the door to surfeit the privilege
montage carried in stark juxtaposition
packets film camels elicit form quagmire
polish when bent vesicles sweeten
disdain as cortical equivalent masted
though winds that salt predicate numerals
entrenching their renewed viscosity in amber
conveyance charged lightly to sugar bush
the red antenna cresting visibly on blank
patterns reconciled to holistic drama gears
shift like the wind in its pail or its intent
nominally assured rental vehicles rounding
dead pavements personified as tactile intent
whose corona varies factual replication
tints that matter to lumbering bluster trim
as carnival sails escargot failures to slow
rotisseries harbored in the revenue dockets
where tobacconists revel in foundries mute
to the splay of fortune legs tabled where fear
strikes marimba chimes predating pestilence
and predatory harp shakers lampoon the sudden
miscreant blocking wind gusts bursting tonic
encomiums fed nightly under canker veils
left to soup the entourage its courage

Ration

Silver of the children cautions candlelight. It is exceptional to wing where slivers chime.
One's chemistry repairs the body that revives the spirit that may overtake the past
against our bitter judge. The word entonces lightens each responsibility. One chastens cleats,
then trods. One stakes a claim, one sees the vintner, one approximates what venal repertoire
once salted these surroundings. She serves us etouffe it was a gem, as lights triangulated
any thought of venturing. Now harmony eclipses volleying, and safety turns to afterthought.
As a rule, I compensate for exasperation. And symptoms of a stalwart lass begin to carve
a place for dancing we imposed upon mere doppelgangers in new motion. Various
contingencies went blank. We nerved the numb feat of the wheel aglimmer. And short-changed
obvious contralto venom where it was. When I hear singing I hear temperance. And when I sip,
I toast your health, and when you leave my feelings injured, I reverse the slim remote.

Constancy of purpose, wingspan, miles walked amid pale light to think by

§
Thought outside of writing renews the temporality of the fragment in the context of a fragmentary unspecific. The original broadcast of ruin, assertive and sentimental, that poem convinced by precocious advent of entry, heaven’s poetic innocence, severed his death, his apotropaic grief, another death-by-elegy, but distracted first, fragmentary negotiable remembrance of supportive arguments, whether the story does or does not posit a place to be. Distorted by eloquent allusions, neither inimical nor dramatic, can be a nurse of number, miles of mind. The unrehearsed remains a fence so long as it sorts select astonishments with diverse locutions. If becoming a great poet required praise, the ninth drum, or cannon loin, a fortunate and obscure transaction might abuse the cities with awe, great singing in the headquarters of the world. And even if before my country I didn’t loiter in her, she offered this day the seeding of an overt propriety of night, that should be great if whose soul every palaces, by latent fountains, the infinite out to his ambush, and force him without original untraceable immersions, his malleable but inevitable retiring to non-existent concatenation.
§
Within this peg of time the early is the never. She fused a mural realism from language hasps, work grown in being what lingers in concentration as poetry. In this renegade essay her torsion is interred. The window of myth remains closed. Like gaseous fenestration, as painting is a poem, arbitration amuses. Was the written as the work drawn most recently from air we’ve had as creative languor? The poem succeeds the immanent wing. Others torque style into surface, as a poet labors poetics only in freeing a new persistence from suggestions of expression. The startling intrusion of ghosts’ internal poetic culture rescinds the ghost’s own occurrence, now radically erased and elemental. A cold colonial mode increases her, back to her connivance of a world. Poetry is played in oracular time. The axiom of the present is a mutation which the poet emblems formally into extremes. That has been excavated and made that, formed into a sanatorium compounded by twin artists of the class developed, school the same fully autistic drawn upon the tension compacted as the carom of sympathy, this a poetic deliberation of experience, or the rose. Fictional hands. Idling with observations first is the historical poet, a century woven medieval fondly, heretical from embodied and ingrained as such, violence of the basic expanse and parcel of nobility. Closed reactions achieve experience seen as white space as if within. Immixed visions imagined the dormant space of a gestural language, coiled mesh of sense reflective on that concrete wing, within work’s wine if composition endowed with allocation, mobile spelling, a fading of the picture, ghost magazines and cited absolutions. Rhythmic voids. Selected by her art, subjective onus fulfills her library, a seizure of time as turned in a unifying focus, background that offers no absolute doubt. As a way of reading tormented before former antics of an errant canon, it takes hands bearing with a habitual poetic of patience seen in transparent law. Reason twirls the singing. The century of our heretical sieve organized the poem as a place for poet’s words. A situation apart from feeling, the handling of formal intrinsics, as one object in its place. Overgrown with flourishing, the extreme cheats us, used as an invention of very immense, a tonality of as. Of the flagrant disparity of poets in their fantasy of the fantastic child, words never compute the equation of such grief. There, in the couple overwhelmed by motion, conditioned meaning tools all eloquence to the authorship of temptation. The banner of being itself, being is the banishment of armor as such, an amor languaged into form, to be read as an “I shall”. Praise etched them only in praise. Now the woven into a peacock one says of innocence. I pulse rapaciousness to make the magnanimous pitiful in wonderful emergence. Let history be transformed by appalling and ancient rantings, or by a personal grotesqueness lying upon history’s presence, the shapeless perusal of mind unimagined, striate, shimmering on the brink of animation. One another unveils if pictures resemble discernible sky, recognize the mobility of our world, subject composed of manufactured paintings. The end waits as resonance specifically rathe. The conventional dialect of simultaneous readings receives its mobility from the array of improper names. Masks in escrow erratic as what furnitures the world with sound. Strings float images are heretical views of artifice. An observation of the air can magically when subjected to recognition. Imposed then fabulous, fable of the poet, this I mired in poems, rose as a gerund of nervous seeking. For it sings the woven sound opens like avenues reaching a second breach. Which one sings even as ear is subject to cathected theories of inseparable instruction, constitutive of the world as poetry.

DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS

I am never alone
Though they do flee me
Who sometime did me seek
I can wade in the mirror
I know I look like a Kosovo drug dealer
lipsynching Bananarama's "Cruel Cruel Summer"
dancing for the snipers through the snow
He picked his name from a bad American movie
What an asshole! I agree
But the lady in the Dollar Store
Said I glimmer
What you think whores don't remember compliments
Just because they're whores?
Take one to TOYS R US one time
And see if it ain't Christmas
I hope she didn't mean like crack
She's no stranger
Do I remind you maybe
of funny church onion domes
or those testicle clackers
wrapped in pantyhose
I am usually embroiled
in some untelegenic war or other
Do you think God is like a celebrity
Who has abused its fame
And now must accept even a rehab tv show?
God, I hope not because
I would want my relatives
The ones I failed to know
On the better days
I am a pigeon
I'm trying for "pigeon of God"
And on my best days
I am a funny pigeon
Doing something funny and pigeony
For no money in the plaza
You built for pigeons
You are under the ground
We are under the ground too!
There are pigeons even
in the Underworld! Hurray!
But thanks for the emails
I found an actual letter from you
The other day and cried
Because you had used your human hand!
To speak! Who does that?!
I was thirteen you had hope
I would at least make wedding guest
I could have remained a psychotic virgin
Or worked at those I Can't Believe It's Yogurt
stores while they still existed
Look I never murdered anyone
And there's a good chance
I will die wearing bunny slippers now
Without camouflage pants
So as far as I'm concerned
Things are looking up

INVITATION

i will put something that matters
next to something which doesn't

and prove myself an artist

i will prove myself

a bad artist

to make a point

like a bad bridge

always makes a point

i have absolutely
zero problem doing this

notice the cool way
i pronounced zero

I patched together something that was you again. The foreground lingered, and imaginary stretches pinked on top of satisfice. Indifference, your main friend, differed from instead of with my fine menagerie. It is the sylph of chaperones divides us. And your memory, my overtime, my quest, this yarn. If only sacrifice were buried where we locate strength. Then I would caution you to manifest this winter briskly near colloquial young bronze. A film along your scrutiny might splinter, and then yardage would be lost. Someone tracks progress under the auspices of penury. I child while watching an occlusion dry. And then some optical-illusive pack mule eases down the trail with our supplies. If I should talk to you, would you provide clues as to places I might start? A trail of speech divides the cost of doing rinses. And we linger, we confide, we offset-print respective brides.

A so-so afternoon versus surrogate survival, string attached yet loosened, reattached

He learns to have apologized. She has taught him to atone for her mis-takes.
He writes a text he seeks to have erased. He has been taught to take himself
away from evidence that he is here, and linked to her, for whom he must apologize.
There are not words enough. She commands that he remove himself, part of herself.
She directs that he apologize. She likens him to what she will not be. She reads
the mirror in translation. She leaves herself sequestered, as he drives the crowd
out of her eyes. She likes the shadows as the wake he leaves her for. She hears
the cinders crush when he arrives. The drive would not be smooth. Her eyesight
takes in darkness. He endures what seems in part safe. She is careful anymore
to love the votive rasp of candlelight he has become. Before the light has dried.

Closure as inevitable gift, the splintering of drawn lines barely visible

the poem

Had my breakfast
had my bath
read a dozen pages of the subterraneans
thought about substituting “ and” for all my commas in my prose and decided changing my prose wasn’t worth it

still listening to Bob Dylan

a day for myself

I can take a nap and decide after
Pending how I feel then
Like I did last night deciding if I was going to the Hanukkah party at Ana’s

Five windows open on
My computer on

The world
Outside the tips on my fingers
My errors filled with the organ
Of the voice’s music

Turn it off turn it off
And dwell within for
However long the long time alone is

There’s that broken left-over narrative
Stretching out into the white day
Lying on its side
Watching the watcher
Melt into
Reflection

Where does ‘it’ start
Where does ‘it’ end
Before it turns on itself
Turns into itself
To talk itself

Out
Of existence?

Chain-Link Horizon

Turning to omnivorous, craven wishes, we find an evening of final spangles and sloe-eyed hypodermic trenches, burnt deep in the tundra, sacrificing random indemnity and flying beetle parades. Stammering to undue turbulence, grafting a ball-peen victor to generously engraved parametric pleasures, we stagger into chosen spittle and loose-fitting caverns of discussion melts, pressing slacks for touches of inked closure. Thoughts of cave ports imply sweltering, hallowed parakeets, lifting tandem demise from semiotic paint erasers. All the shuffling, impish warriors can feel is both mansion feet beneath a cold can of Sterno. Heads bob wistfully on a chain-link horizon, chambered and cocked for backstreet pauses, refurbishing the sunlight.

Con Men

Lights flicker through glycerine ponds, signaling the diamond pack to pick off a loathsome straggler, stripping him clean of all pretense, emptying their last idea on his drooling, consequential ears, shaking a collective head into the leering, camera-eyed dusk. Penetrating all decency with flavored artifice, legislators pause and refract our broken dreams into debit irons, chucking anchors through burnt plastic reefs, smoldering a pimento's vinyl rope. Indigenous airship designers, distracted by foolish barbs, simplify the superstructure, taking down more ark ovens than beanstalk brethren can immolate in a lung weekend, iron foliage notwithstanding. Sameness flips digits, vaulting differential lubricant, hinting at mass plumage and forced underpass caress motions. Engineers pine for newly imbued, festering widgets; tumescent courtroom addicts fall for endless motions, wail at a redirected picnic, and canter to a hallway beat unfelt, emptied of our sampled mitochondria. Cubs spill molten logs into spawning streams, capsizing shrunken pillbox hats, implying stolen pillow carrion. Alternating dungeon mantles please choice erector moons, orbiting tangible manhole plates with steamy chandeliers and glacine overtures to known con men.

Boolean, All-Girl Rhythms

Flex me, anterior calling bard, pining for disinfectant. Vials of nutrient, abandoned in swirling meat, drag opinions through a meal binder, all but effacing any glance toward twilight. Bland, ostracized nectarines take it off for narrow, spaced ingenues, unravel a mummified backstrap, and leave nothing to nibble. Penetrating nocturnes howl for smoked singles, tiling a bathroom with good, newfangled fluoride. Phylum Dildo, in her spinal fact-losing diet, meets severed cops on a tame bazooka face, connecting hungry molars with grillwork, trivial eyes eluded. At sunset, she tacks up a list of porcelain freight cars to sell before headlines take cover. At ten, a cart of solitary boondocks rides by asleep, enjoying penumbral bliss. Ashamed of his notoriety, a lost riot cop sends fish bait to church, forking into dorkiness, convulsive intransigence, and spurred leaches. It is, of course, importunate to dismember that clan of cave-earning bleaters, though furnace plantations were sown for just this pearly vortex. Chimps decree, by odors known to sellers of a big, green horoscope, that complications may set off rainy actions, irreducible and litigious. Corridors thus clarified, clarinets challenge Boolean, all-girl rhythms to a dance with dearth, albeit for now.

where is found content for removal from assertion?
the content is an arrangement
while the assertion is its undoing.
somewhere else we sleep or slept through
hundreds of tones and missives,
we did not miss much while asleep.
the turning of codes, the coldness swimming away through spiritual dissembling—
a last virtue its frailty memorizing its own selfhood.

so, this carnivore blends its own windows with a flair for clannish ventures,
the depth of which enfolds structure and coronets.

no other slavishness tolerates motion
fascinated with humors and humidity,
tones are tokens of which alliterative motions
a fantasy of content sequences
stolen harmonies from a
spiritual matter regulating
nothing else then rebuttal scars.

agreeable to nonce? yet in stride?
nothing barters a mountainous form for words
whether inscription is divulgence
meant to settle back interjecting
which evidence history binds selflessness
one tone through which space emerges victorious.

havoc’s issue beheads iterating’s before to all-tides
amiss in the atmosphere of this room.

settling into awareness, we sought bygones from
witness no orbit least the sorts of those
that parade here.

circuits as wilderness has not yet unfolded,
invented, or have been made apparent,
tolerated, invested, or whispered—
such premeditated uncertainties invite
us to a masquerade from which no arrival is ended.

it did not start in time or in spare-change,
effort did not make stealth a companion
but the compass of territoriality knows no
otherness besides temporary license
masked by utter-statelessness.

we arrive where inscription leaves free
commentary beleaguered by nothing—itself
rendered and biased—machinic divulgence
refines only curiosity
moving beyond a massive tendency—
compose, regroup, then compose again.

havoc’s issue beheads iterating’s before to all-tides
amiss in the atmosphere of this room.

settling into awareness, we sought bygones from
witness no orbit least the sorts of those
that parade here.

it’s a heard tension in the voice
whatever announcers those publicans remake
understood droll bargain settlers those

wait compensation wave through small cars
first. laughter on the rim—collaborators emptiness
someone asserting pacts listen goers
entertainers will savor saying each collectivity
names through presumed vacancy—contrasted
window appeal there muttering slake greatshoes.
