About

no longer to be ignored
too long eyes averted

kinsmen blind blamed the
setting

waxing lyrical about the golden rule
sunset sunset sunset

waning rumors
held to fall upon well being

keys cackled weeping text torn from god
scabbing shapes agape

words amenable
list and listen to exhumation insatantly

we go together you and me
i go with you go with me

frogs guts peas nuts
froguts peanuts

deadened
deadend

simple poison compacted into a pure compound
being so applied the venom in effect was purified

irreversible through its shrouded entrance
unlock for me this razed residence

rain added to the river that is rank
perforce wank forced to overflow the bank

-

so rote i sat
as though dead

writing of erotica
wrought in a featherbed

shining power
lines
fly
death
and recreation

body horror from the comforter
a rib bone by god

in eaves shadow
eves eyes shone

answers
nobody has known

webbed
can i be shown

wedded
have i the rite

-

lashed eyes excise these shadows
that listless crept my skeleton

and who from within
would cast askew my skin

have you forgiveness for me
i want it icy cold i say

for this vision to sustain
soften your hold and refrain

-

what warm-soft light arrives far east
eyes in heaven so bright

a new river siene
divert not from mine

nightsend violets fast-fading leaves
question marks of dreams

coming where we came from
fled is that music

do i wake or sleep
speechless clap

stuttering bows
and curtains
