six poems

 

 

the lovers

 

a stranger sliced

& bound

crackle clawing angel

raw hair on pillow put

needle to flame

performative laboratories mono

mesh phase

silhouette / shock

unhistories vague

orchards agoraphobe

 

 

unisigned

 

logistics & kneecap

perfumer whispers

out where

they dance intransitive turn

natural a

city of suburbs / woollen statue

absently from

the 19^th floor

volute emblem i

terror drifts terrors drift

prolepsis

 

 

severance

 

her bright toes high

graffito flute klepto vatic

stomach in sections

grisaille arcade exilic

dandelion bleed

somnambulism wrack was like as if

high risers

bearded snails

(helpless all

rapprochement /

their beauty) took

& shook & freaked

 

 

serene

 

worked it at shimmer

spine every 100^th

fiction

turret of cauliflowers

taxonomist knife

wander into gob

or apperceive

towpath / suicided sample

revolutionist skin

radios of architecture

ciphers cilices

tenebral stain therapeutic

& known noun

 

 

curio

 

throats hatch

spiny drizzle

sicked up populations

antivenin vein

attributable januaries

night after nought

it kiss

the dream text kisses

i she flood

scissor hush huts

& scar / f

ur silence

dissectionist

silencers

 

 

of the known

 

lovers skim

gold over river gnaw

all my toyshop weeping &

blanket stench

a clamant squint &

i’m was unlike a

hostage / suitcase

spit along the dark

stochastic waltzers

to breathe in

close cropped rooms

in stark season

compressed distance

economies of

23 hour minutiae
