lost leprose morning’s text, I

heroin half-hour ; 30/30 lines

/  thinking fondly

of days long and ridged  /  impossible to remember fully

and gone  /  they love you. 

death death death death death / we've been here before

the clip snuck whole 

on side  -  streets,   far as needlepoint


            near Granby

         or Front St., 

a couple of seagulls laughing

     b.

     Desire:

            I want to kill motherfuckers who want to

kill me. Touch me — c’est la vie /

           bitch-ass caterpillar daydream.

corporate peaceful pacifist pays the bills

in my sweating palms,
					where my fingers   connect
								to the hand
							like a cheek,
									to be grazed,     I hold
							        the gristle
							and my fat   from my joints 
							        all together & I wish 
you'd graze them.


the swallow + 4 other poems!!

     now and like the smoke, you appeared out of my mouth, building in front of my sight

 

with a swiftness that eludes every single bruise and cut I've hunted   down

 

in the pit of this place, I get that darkness fails me or,     I failed 
it.

better have faith that i'll call the manager

[...] The volcano is as the mouth of God, he speaks us into song, and closes us

again—the smile upon his upturned lips. [...]

human walks into inferno

Reconciling

with the little rhino-eyed

boy / snoring after sniffling

sitting just behind me

	      / who /

didn't say -- a word / didn't say -- a word /

sitting in the hospital lobby
