last aerie come an eagle decked for lasik surgery
home to rabbits under bush the glancing hunger
mortgages but cold as a basement digger's hands
nobody knocks on the leafpiles where squirrels shuffle
MERCIFUL MUTILATIONS
Thankful always I will be
Grateful from take one
As if I was declared dead
While still smiling on the live stream
Forever feeding sharks real questions
For which most answers brawl
To get to the top of the bait pile
I die every day exactly as if
I was only living to hear
The sound of one real question
To kill me or not to see me
Blind ones living out to the fullest
Their final fantasy of stomping
The natural extension
To the downwards spiral
Pay attention before take two
For the skeletons are kicking calendars
Usually hidden in my closet
While spreading unruly rumours
Between the sweaty sheets
With all this undue respect
And other backwards thinking habits
That gathers around here
In front of the forest fire
I smear my dirty fingerprints
All over the forbidden screen
With freestyle ambitions
Of becoming just another
One waiting for my genius
To be discovered at last
For my treasure to be unearthed
And for my cookie to finally crumble
As long as the big bites
End up in a coffee cup
Where the blood feels thicker
Than a stormy glass of water.
the rub
a word crawled into my mouth
I lapped up figures of speech
- some things are just not straightforward
BITCHING TO THE BEAT
plugged in somatic
birds.i.view
covered chunks of expertise
in my children's
hungry mouths
motivates me
opening their doors
in the evening
with all i've gathered
throughout the day
wriggling
in my throat
"hello son,
hungry?
have some
cunning stew
daughter,
here's some gooey-soft
pornographic
porridge"
my eldest
hunched
over the kitchen
table gobbling
a can of
thick and hearty
and after awhile
the pace would quicken
and every thirty seconds
they could fill
a bowl
with their loving
father's fertile
mind
first
they must learn
to come and get it
out his mouth
his jaws
normally
ripping the heads
off worms
slack
in that
they could die
falling out of the nest
picked up by a kind
teacher
or possibly a priest
picturing
each of my children
huddled in a pinch
of yellow grass
shivering featherless
in a shoe box
all their chunks in vain
as every bird they'd sheltered
ever knew
its their father's scent
strangely refusing
proven
formulas
gruis (trigga happy hairy monsta fret show)
To CD: a tormented sonnet...
and your scatter'd Voice is falling to a twang
and your phantom HAND deep down in my heartlace
will reattach Life long-forgotten from long-forgotten grace .
Loud cries will mutter: oh, stay, you, Ruby Drops
and Wings of Time will smoothly surface my time props
making Night longer for the rough revealers
he knows another sallow morning will soon heal hers.
Rose incarnadine I am with False retreats that burn
that make my drowsy absent Worshipper again return
I cry and strike your Soul 's Winter-garment born in summer
and stars keep coming, the flight of Stars that died some time ago,
Your Heav'n is much bitter than your Turret Nightingale's lean glow .
That open Spring of Light that kindles all deep water
and Birds and Lips and Solitude to you are shown in turn
until the "RedSadWake" of your desire will ultimately burn!
