15-
Breathless eye
Of the begun
(spoken less of)
Vapours
Tracing the night’s
Parchment
Meat to tear
In sun sunk spun
Of ashes
Cadaver guillotine
Noose/ dread/ scuttling
In the dark
Muscle of pulse
All the while the ebbing
And the absence
Of all
Graceless
Traceless as the eye
Vacant of pupil’s light

when your fort[u]ne cookies make the hostess
w/ the most delicately timed noodles–blush
when we can no longer capture the white summer
girls in barefeet-barley-hop w/ instant flash
when i can no longer sauté your icelandic heart
in 3/5th wine & 2/5th jungle combat
will i reveal to you the secret ingredients
to my watergate goose-silent long-necked stew
i cook to the taste.

HAND IN HAND
Be a have not in a sack containing nothing at all.
In the promise of tomorrow you shut down.
You forget me not
And then no longer remember my name.
Have you given all your milk to that cow?
Is separation an impetus to come back together?
I love you so much that I could be content
Watching our hands walk down the street together.

like a voice
David McLean
like a voice in the nighttime
a lady asking how empires fall
and what the point of it might be
building stones on bodies on pieces of time
they have sliced and keep in buckets,
all the happy ghosts standing on fortifications
where they have been soldiers,
where they have been swordsmen
or whores and glorious,
like a god dressed in the seed
of some deep avocation. promises
and whatever, all the reasons we are lacking,
all dressed up in eyes and voices
in the nighttime, ghosts again;
sex and time out of mind,
a night alive
