Last chill of April—
Luckily I’m still hibernating.
One day I will want to look out,
Hopefully before winter’s hush.

Soft banana, rotting banana:
I squish you with my fingers' trip
(Not without fear of contagion)
To divine the mettle beneath your skin,
Whether carrion Time has sucked away
All your inward ripened store of state
—Or if there withstands some braver patch
Not too gross to eat
I squish you with my fingers' trip
(Not without fear of contagion)
To divine the mettle beneath your skin,
Whether carrion Time has sucked away
All your inward ripened store of state

I want to visit
IKEA.com
Because that’s the name stamped
(Darker than graphite)
On the Bilbo-sized pencil
With those six unvarnished faces
And an off-center lead.

Once more glide in the canted breeze
And bait my inclination with false augury
Whispered in swollen heaps of feathers
That only my disheveled tomorrow will preen.

Resemblance in the glass baring
Its gaunt and mutilated gaze
Like a stiff posy held close
To wild incongruent rushing.

Leave the crying of disfigured wings
And return like a bat clipped and raw
To my snout in bluish vapors hid
Behind horizon’s drooping sheet.

A feast for moody fingers:
Your harvest plump with discharge grinning
Sour incantation smeared
Docile and cold.

Preemptively willing my teeth to cut
Wells into the rippled skin
Tiling this year of the snake
That should otherwise devour me hissing
And leave for the wind
My desiccated echo.

Beneath your nail
Spreading out,
Maculate tines of crimson
Resound:
Wake, wake
Atop riots
In my slight atria
Rummaging
(And there—
There!
Cactus-like
Take root).

Starched ribs entomb
Motes by shepherding breath corralled
To slaughter and the hanging crook
In deeply chambered slivers of lung.

On my skin nerved with sweat
Press again the edge of imagined grace—
But I will no longer pretend to heal
When your hideous, icy craving is fed.

Slender, wilted arms of smoke
My once lavish avatar sheds
In flushed and fragrant metamorphosis
Climbing translucent, veiny husks.

Find me brining
On the crater’s shore,
Lathered sumptuously plump
And white with foam;
But elsewhere among these sandy bruises—
My severed, discarded neck
Squeaks.

Broken teeth by gaps combing
Mellow, archaic striations
Across the brow of distant night
Like many raking diadems.

Skyward strain
Your fleshy stalks
Like palatial beams
Capped off in frost,
While I sit perched
On my toadstool guarding
Moonlight’s motley shimmering sleeves.

Hold it aslant
And let me be
(Though sometimes unprismatically)
A pinwheel set by starry grains
In tilting discourse with a breeze.

What gossip from the emerald god
Do you, bright automaton, carry
With studious care and brooding step
To my drowsy, sepia, altar?

By a royal gutter I stooped searching
Like mossy Avalokitesvara
For sustenance in the squall of rats
And nirvana in solar rigor.

Chase me into deeper space
Riding wavy hiatus
Trampling dashes burnt to seizure
Clad in havoc's acrid mane.
