3 poems || John Pursch







Parabolic Blowgun

Shambles conspire to reconvene,
though elbows banned a hit man’s satchel braid
from escrow’s microbial eviction
long before tea horses spoke of stump plague.

Flipped extrema idolize a fluid effulgence,
contriving to bisect eviscerated Seminoles,
provided exhumation sprites
are exculpated by polarity’s pundits
in pending bulk remission capers.

They’ve been squawking,
bilking banshees for savvy lotion legions
since downy thyme boiled hovercraft into flying hogs,
sputtering soil in subcutaneous cupboard arks,
whaled beneath the turquoise seedlings
of mobile dictophones and idiosyncratic infestation.

We miss the ruining of inky death mariachi fuses
while glistening in the balky sands of small talk bleaches.

Headway slams in trafficked specialties of dusty bier knees,
capped and featured from zesty mortuary sloganeers
on savvy arterial magnetism’s plumped hillside.

Gustatory embers resemble shuffled tidal setting stones,
dating calmly denuded sequins with trade wind activity’s
thirteenth harmonic smoke ball.

Tantamount to grievous wardroom pudge,
chemical mirrors lionize bestial caterers,
stapling garrulous bauble vendors
to thermogenic concert crows,
dicing stacked preeners into sewn munchies.

Have oodles of undefined heroes slept away
nightfall’s parabolic blowgun arrival?


Sheaves of Sunset Strip

Bare furrows file impartial impasse punches,
pasting pusillanimous gearbox drains
to wall-eyed groupie phonograph secretions,
penetrating gestures before bridal gulls
fly pallor teeth to mogul swoon believer sets.

Mainland goddesses float neatly by
elusive Jetway chattel laundry,
mottled with stuffy candor,
peeling teeming heaters
from squirted skyline counterparts
in clockwork silt.

Dancing pinafores ignore
effacement’s hinge of pauper elegance
in slabbed queue goggle tumbler switchyard ties,
coating intern undergrowth
with shoves and tri-winged coffers,
spelling whirled wharf doodles
with fluted ovations of aural distaff sundries.

Undressed torpor stashes tusky clouds
along entrainment’s febrile cushy jawline,
pocking dumpy chandelier mechanics with conjunctivitis,
annular in error’s hulking daytime alley maid,
beneath a spattered pane of gushing Glasgow tern velocity.

Neural hens predicate delectable notary feet
on murky holes of bunting shacks
in basement treble pathways,
cropping shoelace acquittal parties
for downstream janitorial belief
in Quonset deletion souffle guffaws.

Sheaves of Sunset Strip retainers
rend inedible carousers from effulgent makeshift gum
and bodily forgive titration’s canonical infusion
of breviary birdcall insipidity.

poem || Jeff Harrison

Blue Throats

kitty the wood
cling the zero top
carnival-smooth reading
neither first is the yawn,
nor the second, itself a
stretching floating, what's
slow isn't plankton after all
but it's battered until bones blue
and jet's shade, a night carousel

cunning are
the winks most pushed and loosened
they'd sleep some otherwise
their disease leaves something fresh

Virginia, your donkey-boring head
is thinking elbows again
you should be thinking of
countering my breath with blue throats
why this strange death - all relations
jeweled for the scoring? a gesture imperiled?

whooped the bee defiance flaring...
briefly the jeweler recovers gold
the stick world's there
stick are her funeral soldiers
paraded before cheated pines

it took some time,
but winged insects have
a new sly unhappiness:
screen, score,
cranium,
noon, & see:
winks

no, not winks under the ceiling, Virginia
below the ceiling are silver bees
it took the jeweler days to make them
road (dark) map affection, could you dare
Virginia's gauntness?

What the special advisor said

Now, with nothing from this blowy and chilly spring, some rather frank interviews with you in a state of terror.
I can send some wonderful flowers. I can be apprehended without too much reading.
I haven’t had enough coffee.
Now to ashes we’re inhaling in any case.
Customary discourse informing the community.
War and possession; a guilty junction.
All earlier writings by men accepted or tossed away, remembered into polarisations.
The building remains: an annoyance that you imagine; so I think.
I find the stories shocking, breathing thinking, the mirroring, war and the gaze.
One died. An angel told me. Some food on the table. I can send some food, sanctioned by a single human in this windy and emotional disgust. Expression of it.
Now read again.
Many are strangers. Givens. Too many places. Single humans in non contact.
Staring is war; and variations of rhetoric defence of the dominant view.
Remainder of it, the power of sight: breathing in the voluptuous green.
Non mutuality of difference. The deformed in possession of the body. How to look or not; the gaze very complicated.
The issue of having power becomes truly neutral or devoid of sexuality. It is always disruptive, an interruption, a psychological relationship of power.
The length of time I, with nothing, pause, sanctioned by the desired, each in the wrong place... Polarisations from different experiences, sexuality left out particularly well, the expression exact. Expression of realities. Most scornful headlines. A question. There is a question. Shocked stimulus. The long run in the dance of being stranded. A privatised war with nothing total.
Not completely separate myself. It is inflected. Contact culture. Too much reading, its own local being extended...
This breezy matter: power to privatise the erotic; reluctant conflation.
Imagine always a brief island; nubile limpidity reduced to discarded.
A brief wonderful yellow.
The lies will go on. Brutalized. Actual. Barely defended. Breathing in control.
Try giving orders.
The dominating gaze or premature death. Pause speaking.

flying apart
polyvocal

answers the text for more
ear buds from the water falling
articles link and include a playground
too late rains heavenly myths

we are in a people which loves words
breaking light of all of copying
quite often books create a man endlessly

i want to marry you!
again with such force that seduces
they can't see them
they have their agony
bits of awe
the rat gnawing
it answered its offscreen sun and moon

subliminal you!

give us more and more grey there

a hierarchy of proscription
we are visible from disinformation
rot your mind

let us suppose a complete first bliss
the full retail package
abundant light is a dialogue
something could see

it comes with bunched hands
alive
alive it is rare
gold the top
like the moon!
reached for it
i couldn't help it
she is stuttering it
she is straggly
sprouts heaving in boiling water
surface of the winter
it grows to full adult size
the ratty voice of god in the groin he whispers
keywords words breaking morning from his head off here
gold the secreted fabulous brightness

she begins to see
ground whine of a playground merry go round
strong light from his head where the man is fun
he lies on the tree stump
a hard outer shell
one area of their bed
the sky above
downpour of snakes

try adjusting the registered version

hands make carpets money followed
intensive drying

he is bruised
chrome quality day
the winter is ashy
it moons at us
downpour of sun tugs behind his head
pounding him with a bit of the other
the clouds of speech
with such force
he groans
i want to marry you!
dying for it
in empty space
a soft scarf around his neck
the neck rocks
and in his head we discover unknown lands

we are visible from normal ones on the right

A tea wok like folks like us used to live in
awerly updated makes it lifey
ones pearose the pertures for it
dances in the spinach tongue
meek werepoles hatch the musicker in ’m
triadulation it comes out as, that’s hoped that is
owner talk
the seven owners of the world vs the heavenot wanderers
not about the fit though, the withoutfit, justice
we talkfolks like us the weigh we in at
it saws so unbursing
the pull-ease the awes
so I to know yourself saws apply
not as danglous as sound my thud
I’d sport a dervish a femora a boweler and whyn’t
I’m not getting any fadder
like salaams to the ladder
a hand apiece alike
it’s the lot of us
this ripen regnance this sweet ambiguance
Princess Papa you can cull me

Eye bow toothy adjuration
love a pried hate the flout, egg
all the poopy ratsy the tattarooey
will you be my Tartar poet gassed the fault
as about as any, What-Would-You-Want
mission abluted at all
smitten smitten who got smote
I would only a door and keep going and hands-using
dear Untle Morrow
take the welcome tridger
zigs is a manually splender
bebawbeboo and ask, ask is it
jacency, jacenry, jaceuary ossuary
I am as much as is even morsel
but this is the less-sell
been working the nigh she iffed
terping the light conditional hike on like ’s any
did I mention the ballasting gronted me murk
the hence of all
I do bow and I would my shoulder sprained
that's a season by the way
