Mirth in tottering red
My lurid revels collect
With light brush of talcum
On a trimly wired breast.

Your dark-varnished look
Bleeding out
Stains your cheek and mine
With sallow vitreous.

Image

June 11, 2012

Daylight’s balm smeared
Cannot soothe
The biding care smoldering
Beneath coal-bright nights.

Image

Take a fall into the blue,
Chieftain of matches,
And spread your limbs like flares melting
All the way out of focus.

Now bellows from his cheeks’ crater
Summer’s phantom, putrid flower
Strewing on earth pale with use
His jaw’s sinew pulled apart.

Hungering scythe
Reaps half faces
Half chewed over
By some antique blight.

Image

May 17, 2012

A wasp on the prowl
Through smoke and false color
Hunts one truant sprite
Darting from field to flower.

The seat of bodhisattva,
In petals richly plumed,
Brushes a curtain
Falling like an open palm.

In your ocean of molten stone
A thrashing of wings against my throat
Lapped wave-red and sore
With diving.

Image

Old men
Hanging long bearded faces
To dry on a cliff
Seasoned with commotion.

Image

Winged waste
Roars into length and dimension
Pulled by a flash.

Image

May 5, 2012

In charred and broken night
The heart relic still smokes
Diaphanous and wild.

May 5, 2012

Sprouts from windy dune
Sign of the worm
Dancing with its shadow
A swerve and a half.

Bands of amethyst her arms bewitch,
Prying outward their youthful eye
Bearing the glare of sudden sight
Torn from her brooding yolk their center.

Coagulated phlegm
I cough up—
Spheric home to maggots
Writhing and new.
King of worms
Uprears in blood,
Mounts my mirror for consort.

Typically dressed in stone
Somewhat morose,
But lean where light most often catches
The muddy, hoarding glass.

Rhodia bound
By the warmth of sand on her back
And the chill of ocean in the air—
I saw the foam on her lips
And a mute parting.

October 19, 2011

Take the eye and wine—
Run without a drop to drop;
I thought the glass full of pearls
But red.

October 12, 2011

Song of water pent up in tubules—
My swatch of skin rubbed clean;
Tape the milk that stirs itself,
Sinks toward a whirlpool
Gurgling.

A little detergent
And a persistent touch
Will soon enough transform
The stain on the rim of this porcelain mug
—What have you been drinking?
