beneath melting pale
beds last season’s secrets
straining for fresh light

in brief
cutting room floor
telephantic, minor-key ivories
deflect inland wars, no more
to marrow’s babbled black & whites ripped
from flushed gut of dropout’s wrist
missed-call lapses in hesitance
drip ‘heckler’s digs’ kinda sore on
checker fades of floor
dimming dawn pools into
blush white-cell feature screen
film’s flimsy plot hacked,
ever afters, ne’er seen

jackie’s hook
tear-slit tides of low self-regime’s triggered taunts
spray in dry tirades of rancid loose lip gloss
flaunts,
prowling harpy’s hymnotic canto vowels, gouge crypt’s silent slumber deep,
brittle arch-ego spring, mists gurgling magma dross from
frosts of jilted jackie’s midst-thigh froth
– yet ’tis she,
my caving slave-heart’s madness wants.

summer setting
felt we quelled wastes
the foolish blaze of sizzling
summer’s lazy
gaze,
with raging ray day
of de la soul suffers
– trusts, tucked
everlasting under.

calloused
tender teased
whisper’s touch
yet, much of
what’s deader
grinds on rind-
of coarse, that’s fine.

terrare
every tick, sinister mister creak
of “look the other way”
laminate stair
leather
spooked ship-sunk heart of
each yelpless, he-wrecked
dove tale feather
on alabaster cream cross
of bedroom fawn’s
floodlit nape
in streaming salve in Jesus’ love,
the soul escapes

this lupid (love?)
bashful flashback torches blush-
spurs fluttering, ragged feather
flight
from lavish, yawning gate
of shameless shamble
sores-
harmony’s chest, cold plundered,
in salacious swarm fever-
scorched earth mutant wolf
feasts fangs on man’s best girl’s
shrieking pores.

plot of spades
coal miner monarch shrew
vaunts whet scarlet
plumes
with crude grease
stiletto grace
bearded dragon blade
pares dumb boor chap’s
candied apple face-
roe quakes bruised teats like
reckless romance rattles
at sticky, credit card
boys, tendering
chase-
lord joke of shovels
hisses lewd,
13 treasons why his
killer queen, neighs
frisky nude-
mare stirs malice to
bubble boil, chills her
savage garden plan
in zeal, to splay
her cyanide sympathy
hand.

d for diffident
I’m surfing steam waves
twisted kid trains
tonight
Trump curfews confuse
impoised on self-loathing
brain scatters messy
slackin
my noble cognac, too refined
an accomplice on
indivisible nights like
this
ignores, as well
my punkitsch
gibe
slay saying
vibe.

rest lest
ocular milk saucers raked raw
by flaming fork finger scratch,
pained, wiping window thru sepia
obscene yolk sticky string
lens,
breathing neon lamp blink ripped
and re-sown quick, past dull
pinwheel blades of woe’s
wobbly, roof fan,
diarrhea dream cage pillow mashed
while stale gum griefs
get their well workin”tween
old ochre bones,
moist heave gripes at neighbours’
snow white trash scaling
aerial nose-hair like
flatworm vines,
fossil crust, fixing to bypass corners
just dead, rusted silverwings-
come stirring dirge of spring
pulse comatosis, to the ghostly aghast,
scarfed and blame barfed many
grizzled “harmless” hoax bites,
creep couraged but cautious-
wise widows of ceaseless
numb nights.
