Keith Higginbotham - Three Poems

***
1. World Shit Mask


Through fraudulent shadows
Expect sinew/;
buildings homesick
the high salient struggling,
a bag
Of butchers in a chair,


Kingdom of lowbrow anthems
Airbrush the séances, unbearable grasses
Of peppered scars.


Mirror on the mouth making things worse.
It’s no mirror,
said the Southern
gunshot
spun toward applause.

***

2. Giant


The man no. 754 is dented
from metal
can in fire skyline the


The the the chrysanthemum power


Giant black chicken-of-the-woods


***

3. Aeroplane


big eyes encased in
moontop on lap as on
the eminem


converged
consciousness of
filament villas big


of something


mornings spent in preparation of
post sunset suicides
misguided
lightning
the afternoons
about light
