POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Foxhole of fishes
Like the beautiful
And the breaking
Find a saltwater underground
Swirl into deep pearlescent
Holes become worlds
With the bellies of fish
That swish and shine like stars
And the dark and deep blue
Becomes covering
Safe night
And a sovereign space
To sleep walk through
But agitated in our kingdom
Of separate from the grass
And hard wired
Dirt and unplowed fields
The scarecrow watches
Transforms and dives in
To do what the scarecrow is want
To do
His new being ...
And the breaking
Find a saltwater underground
Swirl into deep pearlescent

To sleep walk through
But agitated in our kingdom
Of separate from the grass
And hard wired
Dirt and unplowed fields
The scarecrow watches
Transforms and dives in
To do what the scarecrow is want
To do
His new being ...

The swallowed clock
There was a time
When the ticking went slowly
And by and by
It funneled and dropped
Into the glass
With soft curves
Around it to cup and hold
The flute bent
Inward between it
And up with
Chrystaline delicacy aye
See through it clearly
Though it would fog
As if an imperfect stone
As if it’s imperfection
Time and the rest of it
Would shatter the glass
From high pitched
Stir crazy
A bloody scream aye
Have gathered it up
And spooned it
And swallowed ...

Don’t f**k with a thin woman
You seriously kill my time
And you blink when you lie
Two things I can’t live without
Prior to loving you
Testify
Oh mother fuck
This witnessing
I wander away
Pause
And crickets in the gape
of your mouth
I place sticks in the open wide
Of your
Slack jawed monkey man
You make animal sounds
Not only
While fucking
But while sitting shocked
(Twigs breaking)
And the shutting down
To...
