a systemic parameter
a sebacious erection
an ovoid nauseator
a cedar memory, crystallic of habitrails,
tails without bodies and a small child hiding the truth.
a wax inhibitor
a paper waster
a poet lyncher
a thief of thoughts, raper of dreams,
counting on his fingers into tomorrow's blessings,
owed to him by his fans.
Can there be a face without an eye, a body without feet,
earth magnets, vessels with which to catch the semen for soup.
Can there be a word without lungs, rasping mucus from some
selfish bastard's teenage fuckdream, testosterone bled from
Whopper Junior with cheese,
at the table disguised as well-deserved abuse.
a furious medallion
a parting railslide
a slumbering loneliness
a frenetic search, ending at the river, dammed in the reeds a body floats
face-down and translucent, breeding maggots and feeding fish.
On the other side of the moon, this body awakens
face-forward with gripping intelligence, cheeks rosy with the morning sun
and fresh strawberries.
a folded garment
a punctured palm
a curl at the shoulder
a bar code, thank jesus, a bar code
to keep it all in line.
