Hour 10
Decomposure

[Stand there and talk] patchwork bluehaze part two. thievery.

glacial lake and birth, orion’s bow [ten plus - make the call]

mint cream on a curbed indented arc balanced and bug/moose eye

wavelength the inner buttons of trip headswitch [twentynine]

and again, scratch-and-sniff pine, insignia boxed crusade pulled back

marble smalltired trip trip trip magnetic ringpuddle unidirectional pulsar rasp,

lane change. [laugh] flightless and wobbling in scrubs.

still and cupped sleeping bird as water in blind bookbag hands

horizons per province. plot finger and rake countergrain chime

(careful chaos in the cracks of brickpicture order)

a raven jousting with a stick tied to its back in a paper bag,

tugging at the harried dust

minus toy box tosstorn nobody fake buspage drip

redacted to the courtesy dumpster

double as-is, limeheaded, beetnosed, cased or restored

sewing sweat shadow flat locker, thin angle limp,

end chapter. listen for the click.


Forty percent unmoved, growling 2,

then 76 measure left the oily stain of palpable wilt and worn web

glance gravel ghosts in the blackcircle figures flitting along doorways

in the city, everyone is smaller. speak the language -

numbers, scores of smallpox wighollow [sob fist boxing victory]

wired and bleached stainlish, artificial fifth red finger to towel.

‘but then, i gotta eat, you know?’ white and red.

[false reflection, author bumpersticker, book shuffling]

poured dusk quietly filling treekettles with dark tea

cradled mop and stewlipped ash fabric back unmarked postcard

[someone here?]

but for the curves stowed [speedwalk] deep cork

and awakened fleshy narrowed eye, blinking inverted

between angelic vanish and bookmound and straighten pillbox, tassel and beep

business card gleaming clear plates to hold to your face,

but in space no one can see you in the focused mirror ice remaining

and detached skin pinned back in licoricecorded snarl fissures.

don’t forget as you’ve been forgotten by the grass once impressed:

[lightbulb 3, eroding already] night balloon heaven, two monks,

parking glade, rewalk, roundabouts and heatfad periodical preechoes,

a flicker of old wine braille, offwhitecrash,

thin grey garden, picked blackberries

drawn with swollen feet to the keyhole expanses yet unturned

a paused and different teal - built with gloaming shining shoulders

to trip gravity under my breath’s tightening aperture,

chewing the last soft felt road and cottonquilted sky


And then the new kids


* * * * *


Grace notes stolen from common time patrolling endlessly:

wake, work, wait, wane


Freeze to death in a cornfield

severed blue heels waterbleached in concrete shoes

salt sap worms sleeping with the sharp frozen tick mandibles

abandoned like bee stingers in tumored skin meat.

they drop like flies and eyelid panels,

another slow webstrung thread falls slack

and all i can do is walk and skin my day arms

passing my hands through walls,

peer pressure

twentytwo additional dollars profit per month

rope and sidehang pale

and emboldened silent snow settling on cold lampless lips

woodstove logwalled

ice spine spreading outward and reflected between eye canyons

hold armslength armslength alwaysarmslength

in and out chin stripe teeth pulling lungswallow lodged labor choke

pave scienceblotchboard spread across toothless and

sidewalkiron sole melting success huddled under eaves

i’ll tear these bloated seams unrelated for a spoonful of air

stray the diseased bullets empty parentheses

handheldheater concussion we’re good right this is paralysis

filling the same dot again and again

garage ears pricked in a cage, license and allergies:

clearcut the forest for the wood but don’t want the leaves.

a grapefruit forced abortion juiced and scraped

a bloodless husk, burnt

to stoke the black belly of impersonal daycare redundancy.

i am a commodity to be leeched and split


Give cathode slice siphoning wind in leech

the hat trick mule staggered with sacks of sugar cubes

at least ten jaundiced speech balloons and cold war phantom latch;

the inferno vapor bleak in the retreating deck.

lcd idiot boxing looporphan overgrown bangs and jumpcut statements

slice of life dp popframe blue and pink


ride the image merrygoround.

connect flashcards.

everything moves,

chins level the color of pirate

reflective wide, fake captions

arms bound together flutter stone swearpocket

to the spit of communion synthetic leaf shower, yogurt stocks.

snakeskin eyebulge diamondlined

fashion woven from unborn ninetyhour profit pamphlets,

handstitched hair pillow like phoenix:

fog narrators behind hall mirrors and magnetic decay.

a plastic vine of zipper tooth ordinances

cavity blackwire flux network, frogwater spittle pouting blood,

powerplay impression lie six whittling our tongues teartasteless

to clone out skydust, shave hips, and cat’s cradle sunsets

chased hardening to mannequin under lowbudget mideighties lighting

branding iron limbs and tealtinted tumor gridnoose

unflapped to dunk distracted oilchin larvae in my trunk

and scoop sour cream clots into dockets

like yawning to a hairdryer;

severing my first frozen knuckles to swallow

in the quarter window of a child’s crayonwalled house.

salvation megastore cageform, makes a nice light snack.

hope in a tv dinner’s empty compartment, on the cusp of smoke


A doormouse, but for a tumor grafted to the right side of its head,

slowly ballooning with fluid sap to be drained through a second mouth

kidding on the square

blank eyebrows: twin lineart sunrises and shopwindow smile.

harmless as a photocopied ant.


Ghost putt seedlings, roaring undercurrent reed long minutes

the heavy (overkill) flashbulbglass yellowcake veil rising

weave ear loose leaf reinforcement dusting sideline reservations,

stroll darkedged above the manicured green

and steady firefly to patches of novelty tootsie roll nails.

i can barely glance the programmed straw breakfast special twin blare mute hiss

escape smoker chirp with toescrew satellite

to breathe in fivesmooth halogen suns

painting wheat shadows against those spectral feet

rounded corners, dumb flaps and spittlebrowed (conscienceless waterbody choir)

merging with the corn under grey night’s anonymous arms

as she trudges to her dishless push

mud and warpaint.

a scotcheaten exclamation stumbles across the powerchord-paved lot,

suit-and-jowls outlining the lampshades

baby photo hanging dungeonlaced

trickseal banter antemorrow’s drained glass popcornscattering handful

where sideways chair trap reminds me of taxes

and tactless doorfilling brooms so plain and handheld shout absorber,

the conspiracy bulkadapted for screen and deleted scenes

opening critical mass in the tight wavering inner curve glow cracked throat,

a vampire beauty without radius or rabbiteye sandpaper

hovering through congealed ribcages beneath the yard sale moon

the scraps i pocket from gutter quicksilver,

wander methodically with lazy eyes across the subway dross mines

hemorrhaging toes with a dying shakelight in a box of styrofoam peanuts

ice sculpture haircuts and banging pots will be my stumps

that smell tax urine, reality tv dusk chloroform.

a year week and climbing slides marks each sole in the metal,

and solidifies the inevitable concession

another waffleiron stowaway to half float futility.


A tethered trex doing pushups,

changing led lights overhead

to blink like the power went off last night

in a tank and bite the ends of pens

in the shadows and static.

your face won’t grace any classified milk cartons;

you’ll never even trace fully

the brittle stalks of your arms

before they atrophy.

you press your small feet softly into the snow

but leave no footprint

as they stand motionless

in silent black suits and bowler hats,

whispering across the field

from their distant plowed parking lot:


‘Relax with us,

and build decks with us,

and convex with us,

and climb backs with us.’
