Decomposure

Hour 10

[Stand there and talk]patchwork bluehaze part two. thievery.
glacial lake and birth, orion's bow [ten plus - make the call]
mint cream on a curbed indented arc balanced and bug/moose eye
wavelength the inner buttons of trip headswitch [twentynine]
and again, scratch-and-sniff pine, insignia boxed crusade pulled back
marble smalltired trip trip trip magnetic ringpuddle unidirectional pulsar rasp,
lane change. [laugh]flightless and wobbling in scrubs.
still and cupped sleeping bird as water in blind bookbag hands
horizons per province. plot finger and rake countergrain chime
(careful chaos in the cracks of brickpicture order)
a raven jousting with a stick tied to its back in a paper bag,
tugging at the harried dust
minus toy box tosstorn nobody fake buspage drip
redacted to the courtesy dumpster
double as-is, limeheaded, beetnosed, cased or restored
sewing sweat shadow flat locker, thin angle limp,
end chapter. listen for the click.

Forty percent unmoved, growling 2,
then 76 measure left the oily stain of palpable wilt and worn web
glance gravel ghosts in the blackcircle figures flitting along doorways
in the city, everyone is smaller. speak the language -
numbers, scores of smallpox wighollow [sob fist boxing victory]
wired and bleached stainlish, artificial fifth red finger to towel.
'but then, i gotta eat, you know?' white and red.
[false reflection, author bumpersticker, book shuffling]
poured dusk quietly filling treekettles with dark tea
cradled mop and stewlipped ash fabric back unmarked postcard
[someone here?]
but for the curves stowed [speedwalk]deep cork
and awakened fleshy narrowed eye, blinking inverted
between angelic vanish and bookmound and straighten pillbox, tassel and beep
business card gleaming clear plates to hold to your face,
but in space no one can see you in the focused mirror ice remaining
and detached skin pinned back in licoricecorded snarl fissures.
don't forget as you've been forgotten by the grass once impressed:
[lightbulb 3, eroding already]night balloon heaven, two monks,
parking glade, rewalk, roundabouts and heatfad periodical preechoes,
a flicker of old wine braille, offwhitecrash,
thin grey garden, picked blackberries
drawn with swollen feet to the keyhole expanses yet unturned
a paused and different teal - built with gloaming shining shoulders
to trip gravity under my breath's tightening aperture,
chewing the last soft felt road and cottonquilted sky

And then the new kids

* * * * *

Grace notes stolen from common time patrolling endlessly:
wake, work, wait, wane

Freeze to death in a cornfield
severed blue heels waterbleached in concrete shoes
salt sap worms sleeping with the sharp frozen tick mandibles
abandoned like bee stingers in tumored skin meat.
they drop like flies and eyelid panels,
another slow webstrung thread falls slack
and all i can do is walk and skin my day arms
passing my hands through walls,
peer pressure
twentytwo additional dollars profit per month
rope and sidehang pale
and emboldened silent snow settling on cold lampless lips
woodstove logwalled
ice spine spreading outward and reflected between eye canyons
hold armslength armslength alwaysarmslength
in and out chin stripe teeth pulling lungswallow lodged labor choke
pave scienceblotchboard spread across toothless and
sidewalkiron sole melting success huddled under eaves
i'll tear these bloated seams unrelated for a spoonful of air
stray the diseased bullets empty parentheses
handheldheater concussion we're good right this is paralysis
filling the same dot again and again
garage ears pricked in a cage, license and allergies:
clearcut the forest for the wood but don't want the leaves.
a grapefruit forced abortion juiced and scraped
a bloodless husk, burnt
to stoke the black belly of impersonal daycare redundancy.
i am a commodity to be leeched and split

Give cathode slice siphoning wind in leech
the hat trick mule staggered with sacks of sugar cubes
at least ten jaundiced speech balloons and cold war phantom latch;
the inferno vapor bleak in the retreating deck.
lcd idiot boxing looporphan overgrown bangs and jumpcut statements
slice of life dp popframe blue and pink
ride the image merrygoround.
connect flashcards.
everything moves,
chins level the color of pirate
reflective wide, fake captions
arms bound together flutter stone swearpocket
to the spit of communion synthetic leaf shower, yogurt stocks.
snakeskin eyebulge diamondlined
fashion woven from unborn ninetyhour profit pamphlets,
handstitched hair pillow like phoenix:
fog narrators behind hall mirrors and magnetic decay.
a plastic vine of zipper tooth ordinances
cavity blackwire flux network, frogwater spittle pouting blood,
powerplay impression lie six whittling our tongues teartasteless
to clone out skydust, shave hips, and cat's cradle sunsets
chased hardening to mannequin under lowbudget mideighties lighting
branding iron limbs and tealtinted tumor gridnoose
unflapped to dunk distracted oilchin larvae in my trunk
and scoop sour cream clots into dockets
like yawning to a hairdryer;
severing my first frozen knuckles to swallow
in the quarter window of a child's crayonwalled house.
salvation megastore cageform, makes a nice light snack.
hope in a tv dinner's empty compartment, on the cusp of smoke

A doormouse, but for a tumor grafted to the right side of its head,
slowly ballooning with fluid sap to be drained through a second mouth
kidding on the square
blank eyebrows: twin lineart sunrises and shopwindow smile.
harmless as a photocopied ant.

Ghost putt seedlings, roaring undercurrent reed long minutes
the heavy (overkill) flashbulbglass yellowcake veil rising
weave ear loose leaf reinforcement dusting sideline reservations,
stroll darkedged above the manicured green
and steady firefly to patches of novelty tootsie roll nails.
i can barely glance the programmed straw breakfast special twin blare mute hiss
escape smoker chirp with toescrew satellite
to breathe in fivesmooth halogen suns
painting wheat shadows against those spectral feet
rounded corners, dumb flaps and spittlebrowed (conscienceless waterbody choir)
merging with the corn under grey night's anonymous arms
as she trudges to her dishless push
mud and warpaint.
a scotcheaten exclamation stumbles across the powerchord-paved lot,
suit-and-jowls outlining the lampshades
baby photo hanging dungeonlaced
trickseal banter antemorrow's drained glass popcornscattering handful
where sideways chair trap reminds me of taxes
and tactless doorfilling brooms so plain and handheld shout absorber,
the conspiracy bulkadapted for screen and deleted scenes
opening critical mass in the tight wavering inner curve glow cracked throat,
a vampire beauty without radius or rabbiteye sandpaper
hovering through congealed ribcages beneath the yard sale moon
the scraps i pocket from gutter quicksilver,
wander methodically with lazy eyes across the subway dross mines
hemorrhaging toes with a dying shakelight in a box of styrofoam peanuts
ice sculpture haircuts and banging pots will be my stumps
that smell tax urine, reality tv dusk chloroform.
a year week and climbing slides marks each sole in the metal,
and solidifies the inevitable concession
another waffleiron stowaway to half float futility.

A tethered trex doing pushups,
changing led lights overhead
to blink like the power went off last night
in a tank and bite the ends of pens
in the shadows and static.
your face won't grace any classified milk cartons;
you'll never even trace fully
the brittle stalks of your arms
before they atrophy.
you press your small feet softly into the snow
but leave no footprint
as they stand motionless
in silent black suits and bowler hats,
whispering across the field
from their distant plowed parking lot:

'Relax with us,
and build decks with us,
and convex with us,
and climb backs with us.'
