ocarina.aeolian.

maybe the writing is whore-dry, worthless of
Endorphins
and I don't want it anymore
who am I to throw away gifts of god?
meshing moments - stiff momentum -
thick, smoke-seared esperances on
the curtains of the church...
forgetting the war on the knees
and weapons of really old ladies.
Listless eyes and feet kick up sand-
['castle plots and plans?']
somewhere in there is stagnation,
and oh, I will pray,
I will pray, she said.
I will hold it in, and hope for
Animation.

what doesn't hurt? she cries,
in the pocket of her cheek
stretched out full for pleasure,
shiny-china churches, wax angels sing,
Hymnals are Bright Eyes' songs.
This promise is stale, this effort unable,
and oh, I will be careful,
I'll be careful.
And life is worth bouncing from pain to pain,
For a handful of hummus and a safe corner to die on.

The vertiginous eyes swirl as the Dead Sea's
sense of sea-sickness in still waters -
All this in the anchor of your head,
and it's coming apart in
the cautious sun over
the mysterious seams of
your tear-treasoned mouth -
clutches the last gulps of air, spit through,
the ocarina aeolian.

a pallid iconoclastic dissection deemed true


All was easier
When wind whispered softer
Through hair,
ached over by the moon
through
the sunroof,
seraphims and satellites –
our delight,
I and my smile - warmed by your imaginal vessel;
Tucked like an energy wheel behind your eyes.
[the waiting room of ill-regard]
Once simplicity seared the scalp in nocturne seas;
The nimbus hours but now
How it swoons, and how
I raise the vase to my lips,
When once raised to yours; kissed: now
A means of throwing up.
[the tireless fight]
How verily,
I throw up.


phermones seep through sweat-covered consoles,
a grasping for growth,
but only the stomach grows blind,
digesting every inch of promised spit shot
forth from your head -
Starved Intermission -
a skeleton steadily plunges from a cannon,
plummeting into the night fathom of ether,
stars are holes in the blanket of heaven,
love:shot:miss: fell intentional
[forging your shadow in every doorway... there's several]
entering into heaven.
Draw Mercy.

A knuckle-malleated lullabye
Is all we’ve left, so,
cry, cry, cry,
nursing wounds and paper wires
red wagons and flaxen hats –
mmhmm, whatcha readin’ baby,
a fragrant lulling,
uh-huh –
it’s like a catch on a Sunday morning
of purest air,
as light as light ruptures,
it captures me; shut up in my hands, then
released, like
a paper bird birthed
in the fullness of my hands,
and it seems that all the vagueness in the vineyard is worth
the clarity that tops off the winepress.
Stripper pole; stamens thick with –
Revelation, therein –
Slavish peals of morning;
The flexuous muscle.

Throats rotted out on ardor,
He stands back, fists on the banister…
When it is over, there is nothing,
but the desire to
do it over.

a nail file, a knife
a plunging of steady hands
with bitter consent to the visitation,
my hand, and your flesh -
fresh on the knife.
a palpitable feast for morning coffee.
