Neibelheimian Exhile While His Third Eye Brims with Tears for Ever-Imminent Pulverization




I

to front a peak at heart, mecca
this growing mysterious ache,
less pervasive in countour than
 they board directly, carpetbags in tow
and backwater remarks snarl 'cross nice paisley upholstered 
seats up ancient levels of maritime down
the coming the going, a hidden hull
going groan, a sphynxian iron roar
fades at full speed
 rusting morn unto eve

traveling
the flare expected of  getting lost
alights casual consensual confusion
funtional ignorance corkscrews across the dysfunctional chasm
 light his self-loving retentive abstractions
hives where she blindly knelt
and her voice never heard before bed
going groan, the headboard directed diversion, 
the coming the going sure yet
flaws they up and
boarded directly bound down
towns in the south, deli murals
sink bottom gods
took they
 up and boarded in the dark landing

'morrow to face 
as if truth just below a fold in perception would alight with the dawn
too hyper thoughts too sleep not even the imams could foresee
"can't"
"not the truth"
in the concise hours
across the starved confines of this
cathexis us

the omnisphere of light
its staying power
spouting lessons, really.
The betterment of better men.
Did Picasso see footsteps
slicken mostly mud?
Was his story bought for pennies?
It's staying power
that's my faith
    but evacuation, that, too, we want done.
I feel tired.
We do that.

Baths must be hot against the skin, the ears
barsoap from the farmers market
she signs herself clean everywhere, across every
slickened orifice, muddy. You start.

When truth-telling became a resource 
community [was] sacrificed.
Truth. Come back
the omnipresence of light 
in darkness
its staying power 
spouting perspectives, really
slick like a senator she continued, 
asking "are perspectives repressed?"
The footsteps we rise to meet, 
that's ours, you start.
We saw, she learned, 
I did it again anyway.

Its staying power, that's mine.

we met the perimeter
parts of the plumbing fade, the high
corporation burst, a ratty little lightning 
wrests the attic and all 
our studded wrongs were suddenly made right.

via smoke
pounds dissolve
dark spices sponge across the 
plucked and pronged
coarse cured once living ribrack.

Beer stitched, fired-up He is pink
and voluptuous 
an article in the Times
about a scientist's unpublished pulp paper
on x-ray vision unsheathing fossilized secrets
"Now thrice dead," he said roaring laughter
familiar and fleeting as the melody
of eternal maneuvering curations.
History, a sandy pillar of dust
His heat hums

And lo, we are afraid, but
"healing" he says as eucatastrophically as possible
while white voltage sands our feet to glass
our bones bake and the marrow opens 
to a new perspective, abstract
O god your fire irradiates us
but first
how about a million years of marination?

Mad Walls We'd So Carefully Mapped Precisely as if Asking for Change

 

Some cold night! Wow! 

and us, first on the watery realm—

rich ashwood 'gainst a current as

we battle on boards shaved from 

mad walls we'd so carefully mapped

precisely, as if asking for change. Listen

to the rush of the coming scenery


mist, instantly a mysterious atmosphere —

I told him so, but mister

the ruckus was his vintage ride— we rise

"from here on up the skies taste just like hope"

most strictly just ether of course but copious

the flow, blasting, man


life —what reckless throttling isthmus or else what holy 

bounce our role-models flushed down to the feels

— blows from a horn

standing next to the amp of pure darkness deafening

the test of the affected knick-knack inaction.

Like light-headed ghosts, career-sitting as we say, 

weighted by a meteoric scale —

sightless— imagine maneuvering woe with caution 

like anchorites in a pool of mornings

what they'd give to know courage fused to completion.

Don't rush pal the deal is ready. Bright hope is astringent


You caught me perusing clothes to vacation 

to a landscape's shaved neck —where breathes the young child

cobwebbed by dawn, "but it's desire" she said.

—the vast chasm a gate exemplifying tensions 

mere steps from the limits of space

a scene, terrifying— it isn't exactly across we go

but to the present— mouths repaired full up with ephemeral 

old truth, my daughter, touching my hand

with all the right words, on all-fours 

come on with

she says 

not 

done 

not 

yet.
