stain'd glass city iii
iii}
every red from 100 to oh shit
somewhere where the land is flat & dead
fire ripe
& scatter'd limbs, accusatory fingertip missiles point east;
eyes up
mouth downturn'd
a private storm in skulls crack'd like sun-warm asphalt: -
tinder
husks ov uproot'd saplings
wrapp'd in the white arms ov polyester vampires
sponging the sidewalk with shread'd tongues to stall the wilt
{ii}
belch'd from the snarling beast, fed to bursting with eucalyptus & iron
& the pollock-esque...

into my loneliness comes iv ~ in the name ov god
iii}
herewith further information in respect ov my enduring obsession
with your dark sunlight,
how it sews winter into my skin...
bites ov frost
... splitting my breast to the bone___
if only i could peel away blacken'd tissue,
bare the pulse ov my vital organs when your scream
fingers the wound
{ii}
in the shadow ov ley lines, a corrod'd artery in which i
lie
waiting with my heart in my throat, a pincushion for anticipatory breaths_ ragg'd aums
filling the firmament
with scal'd...

duet ii ~ into my loneliness comes iv
iii]
{//dear butcher: i brought a doll to a knife fight... you were beautiful in the half-light... that straight razor sharp in your throat... i swallow//}
there was so much i want'd to say in the aftermath, tho i've been told_
what does it matter..
... i want'd to eat the chords pressing against your skin,
d'vour notes pouring from your tongue
as tho your mix'd signals were permission
to confess it's you i lure up the staircase each morning
like a veil'd siren.
first door to your left.
[ii]
{//it burns......

into my loneliness comes iii
iii] [//the street lamp outside my window cried tears ov blood... make hajj... tirtha... trek ... go fucking walkabout... say a hail mary... will you share my bed now?//] :
edges fold in on themselves to reveal
the unevenness ov our shar'd design; my tongue-damp origami lines
tearing at their crease
wine stain'd with regret, mayhap a minuscule amount
ov jealousy
braid'd into the long hair ov your pretty lovers-
ah, that's resentment
& far more complicated than i care to examine here
'haps some other time, when i am less sober... ...
