thought me an alien
when first slept together twice
for 2 mornings she didn’t see me
piss
drinkwater
the Days go by very quickly now…
pay mind those
swearing allegiance.

inalienable privileges keep yr own
flesh covered
gradation hate & tripwires

o holy. O holy is
motor Inn

Wright Bros, right brothers!
to fear
barn animals.
Don’t catch
burning yarns
gold weighted with sands.

Oh say,
can you see? (can you hear me
now?)
Oh silence, oh
yes it is—
this tomb to unknown
junky/
He
tried thrown elbow at my head (only 2 ft off)
try pudding
my back thru
restaurant glass
& I.
shrugg’d him off
He crawl’d inside
the mouth where—
ideas
Of birth—he whined
High tears to me
&I wined quite back
&dined (on) him for lack
Damag’d infect’d
volcano flesh bloodied cold
thick—black hurt
&windy mad wisdom
whisk past
like eggs
scrambled
unknown you, junky
Black Arabian
nighttime—cool marine
glyphic Instruct Blues
coded know-how when you
inspire—
nest—
rest&come back some
overflowing tubs now.
Breathless.
Blood spray over lead paint
toilet floors under gore
my lord is crying
Into porcelain now—
sifting
dreams
& bile.
check vitals. the humors.
Comedy o dead vines.
Crack swift heights
the neck—chin down tho
expurge speed-
scourge the flagellations
mysterious desert
abuses. Calling
home from overnights
in the garden
hiding your brother
his keeper
from wrath. Hiding.
Yours truly,
From Collapse.

I am no diff’rent
unknown junky
I know diff’rent
& will again
But what to do when
to watch
Immigrant friends
twisted&screwed—
Take on bath water
mothers
smoking their eyes
troubling 5 worlds
&scrambling eggs for 1.
Noble the royal We in
the centuries
smooth. Lands of broken
calligramme
Yr a drumbeat racing fool
toll-road robbing finch
what Peter Pan theory means to a grave. Ah, men?
-- I/Lockaby
Allow me to allow us to read a part of this again? What to me is really vivid, language fresh and inside-out, I wonder what was yr process or procedure? If there was ONE at all? Love, especially:
