Jeff Harrison - Ash Nozzle



controls and the horizon
    comes to the point
cubes     about response
       started down
a little differently

lightning-set went on
    swift search
            watertight

          towrope

liberty, resentment, function

       huddled masses
     (peak discontinue)
     process themselves

        halted near

     the peril murmured
         "take steps
     merciless playmates,
      they are restless
     expect a better one"

    Heaven specially created
        angle of
                 throw

       framework shuttered

           "...little consequence"

Nicholas Alexander Hayes - Ixionidae

 


(I)


Growths on blue lichen. Blue lichen growths

sloughing off in thin tufts. Sloughing

skin in crystalline 

chevrons.


Burroughs fermenting hog lice.

Burroughs cutting up vellum.

Blue lichen growths on vellum

sliced in chevrons.


Centauric legions in Dionysian fury.


Dionysian fury on the mammoth way.

Dionysian fury cutting up vellum.


Centauric legions like carbon

lattices spread, like

vegetation on desiccated

flanks.

Desiccated flanks sloughing

crystalline skin

woven in cirrostratus


patterns of spilled ink.


(II)


Fingers part flesh. Flesh beneath fingertips.

Embittered fibers separated. Embittered fingers

part radiant meat, forming derelict lips

drooling hog lice wine on cut-up

vellum. Simmering tissues seizing into

libidinal bands, cutting into the

plutonic mons. The plutonic mons

etched with crystalline chevrons

compromise composed of single bodies.

A second anus etched with crystalline chevrons. 

A second anus blooming in

solar ease.


(III)


Limp, limpid cock pops a

vein. Limp, limpid cock

between desiccated flanks.

Limp, limpid cock against

a second anus calling

Burroughs home on the

mammoth way. A neutrino

lattice forms from compressed

hog lice. A neutrino

lattice spreads like a

vegetative empire, snagged

in stagnant puddles.

Stagnant puddles polluted

with hair from

migrating centauric 

legions. from migrating

centauric herds. Puddles

polluted with blue

lichen growths,

sheltering the generation 

of blue bot flies.


(IV)

Tumult of blue bot flies,

tumult of event horizons,

tumult of crepuscular

conjecture.

Burroughs in Dionysian 

fury with Delphi’s

pythoness. Delphi’s 

pythoness drunk on hog

lice wine. Burroughs 

roasting forty feral hogs.

Radiant flesh roasting in

spermaceti reserves.

Radiant waves forming

derelict lips on the

plutonic mons etched with

crystalline chevrons.

A kaleidoscopic

mucus oozing from blue

lichen growths.

Rich Murphy - 3 poems

 Course Obstacle



Obstacles call for accessories

and designer zippers today:

Think Velcro for the elderly.

Challenges that would prod at

dreamland for tools and compensation

don’t enter into toy land heads.


Puffed men in stuffed chairs

altar the frivolous behavior

and the congregation kneels.

The nonbeliever scapegoat pool

pitch tents and needs and die

as designated off road vehicles

during the schlump movement

from recline to decline in America.


Morning stretches for soma-lax

professionals who finger keys

and move cursers around screens,

the game for the compound in exurbia.

Chased by the rising tides non-player

characters (refugees and immigrants)

drown in razor wire, rifle butts, and sun.


News lights up celebrities for fools.
