The Rib

A thrill purist.

Only the fastest falls.

The meteoric rises.

In the awesome hydrangeas,

I am taking my injection of cool collectivism.

I am so sick with speed and simpering.

In my silly string garden,

I play with the dead.

Among the maples,

Adam hunts Eve,

wants his rib back.

The Battle

Incalculable chemicals take their daily calcium,

Get stronger and stronger on blood broth,

and the fields sleep.

The battle is tomorrow.

I run my fingers through feathered grass and

think,

How many hordes would maim and dismember

to choose what I do with my sculpture of bone?

The new war is personalized,

minute,

cerebral.

The chemicals leave trails

vociferous and victorious.

God in the Yellow Wallpaper

I am stripping the yellow wallpaper

with my rabid teeth.

See the illuminations behind it,

so many gold filigree letters.

But no meaning to be scraped

from the lines and curves.

The Holy Text is hidden,

happy to be away from us

and our meandrous analytics.

Blue stripes,

Lines.

Write.

Machinate.

Dream.

Yellow stripping,

buttercup sunshine piercing my brain.

 

 

I Have Love

This tree keeps me limber.

I have love but you’ll have to take the floor model

Inside the apple the worm tries to slim down.

I have an erotic stairwell.

I am a song and he loops in and out all day long.

 

This steroidal fire can be induced by people as

so many Allosaurus’s, thrilling, chilling, killing.

My bedroom at home folds in on itself,

origami fortune teller,

and when I leave this petrifying zoo

I will have to try to find my way back in.

My bed was taken from my rib,

a helpmeet just for me.

And these pills

Oh these pills!

See how they make me bend.

A ghost climbs up the tree and

I get wet with desire.

Impressionism

Impressionist teeth crumble as they nibble

on a diary of construction.

 

  1. Today we stitched a laugh out of lace.
  2. A gallimaufry of great gigawatt guests in green give the gawkish light glow.
  3. Vernal vibrancy of vigorous butterflies detracts from the stone beauty of the aqueducts.
  4. Today we added the zealous, zesty windows to the house with the orange emotions.

 

What painting can enclose

this world by the water?

What fuzzy brush can I use

to spread the remains of the rainbow

over this voluminous canvas?

I need Impressionism.

Accuracy just can’t do this justice.

Gone

Masterful

Derogatory

Spacious

 

Hunger devours my fingers

one by one.

 

Eventually, I won’t be able to write at all.

 

My bunny wears very professional sweater vests,

pushes paper,

makes my neighbors disappear,

Reappear in my living room

naked and odd.

 

My stomach hates me.

On the kitchen island,

Roses as love letter to my floating shoes.

Light omnipresent,

staring lewdly.

 

Oh so hard to meditate

on the hillocks of the brain.

 

Hands going going gone
