Mathematics and Art

Moving faster than math,

I ride the train to the city.

 

Lines, gradations, numbers.

 

So many nice colors,

Cool chaos,

The air slick with liquid nitrogen.

 

An ornament,

My education dangles

from the tree in city center.

In the reservoir,

My distilled ambition eddying.

Through the equation of church bells,

A garland of neon loss.

 

Which sun is silent, low?

The near one that blinds

Or the farther that fries?

 

In a clear city,

rumors

give you an inert art.

Mutual

During the summer,

shining in my mouth,

the mirror you use

when you delete your names,

hard as dreams.

You will disappear to deny it.

I write a thesis on sneakiness

And thieving.

 

Time of molded bread,

famine dance.

In the background,

a man,

little fire of love.

 

You open the windows to me,

but shut up all the doors,

comment on my perfect blood.

 

During our mutual culture,

your flashlight sprouts at a time

strained power goes out.

 

Guns

in front of my text.

The Last Summer

At my window,

A gun.

In my mind,

extraordinary sexual and living acts

Demonstrated in dark colors.

 

The scales of the grain feed

Swaying with an unconscionable math.

 

After the man’s house grows rats

to provide labels and epidemics,

One will advise you at home while you die

out of the hail of the heat,

found in water spots.

A Living, Breathing Being

A leading word from you,

a call from your clouds,

would flood me,

dry in the valleys

without you.

 

Eating smiles,

You leave your central home without thought.

You do not need shoes.

The world is bearing your hardships,

with broken kingdoms flapping in the wind.

 

Your heart considers me,

My high gloss weeping and homey pleading,

And donates your medicinal attention

elsewhere.

Untitled 71

The clinging skin of hunting dogs
As they trespass on the neighborhood
hungry.
Keep me humble.
Food is an escape artist,
so I have built a gold vault
To secure it while I doze recklessly.
Not everyone has the materials
to do this.
It took me years.
Not everyone has the time.
Some homes shrink to caskets.
Some nations sink to graves.

The faces of the unfortunate
become corn seed.

Pharaoh

Red river conveying women’s hearts
in baskets.
Through windy reeds, a foreign song.

Will the king open up the window sash
to let the lonely wail of bereft
motherhood curl up at his fire
like an unloved cat?

Sitting on the riverbank,
the queen of carnage
sees one glitter.
Wades in.

Misery and Company

My private demon is winning

My wine hazy spirit.

The sunset cools

on a small snowfall.

 

The shining light,

it’s always washed in bleach.

Endless beach,

tears.

Sometimes we cry for our own sake,

cold,

and there are no boxes to contain

our needy mouths.

 

We all have been an empty harvest.

We have not been sown.

It’s easy,

to breathe tears into the body,

eyes to see.

In the fireplace,

every representative of the land.
