When you’ve left everythingunbearable for everyone elseStill, not to know a thing to say.Waiting to be withwhat you missed entirelymake yourself miserable fuck. Sincerity was never what you saw as what occurred to you as a Plan.

There’s a small mountain Across a valley, down,below everything;To kiss the delicate summitechoes for a thousand years.

Poznan
What can we do?Promised to others...Aching like the centuries peeling off cathedralsNo home,Your ugly fingernailsonly add brittleness to your beauty.
This city is coldtoday is a worldtomorrow, a symphonyThe only thing that makes Europe bearable isthe shape of teeth inside your smile.

The blood of my parentsDried into this capeI fly away with on nights like this.I am the prince of NothingAnd my castle’s in air.I see it, in scattered light of branches.Just before falling Asleep

Such a cold river Flows from burning eyesUnder a single cloud, That sunk below the sky,Down the landscape of a face.

Christmas
The ole church housewith its blonde yard,Has become white with the winter.And its bell, the cold voiceOf the town, Moansin sweaty bronze, naked belfry.But inside it is warm with breathfrom all lovers, in anticipationof God’s arrival.

Aphorisms
I.Agreeing to believe one’s own liesIs the only way towardenlightenment, genius, or salvation.
II. To unlock geniusThe key is perception.We hold itLike our stupid cocksIn the mouths of angels.
III.The rape of words can soundlike making love to them.

Bridge of the Aperient Epistemic
A gray stone thingWet, like the children, and piquantAppeared, over the crescendoof english hills, to be anartery of knowledge.
And now, as I runcloserI notice the lines of people, enlightened, piling in a pool along its base.

Wino Locations
I. Capitol building seen through
columns of highway ramp, behind distillery, defining juxtaposition, is almost as white as the sky, made of
clouds, that holds all of our existences submerged under air like the thumb’s pressure on a tac. Now to the left see suffering, of the road, our pressure on it. In an instant place the self atop the
highway ramp to dive off, scale the mountain of hell, and fly.
Highway sounds, a tree grows between to lots to the left, and stands sovereign, to sway “come” to the side of nature or, to betray, to look to the highway, engine over existence, and
explore the breadth of a tac.

II.The beach, the people, pan-seared and tender now from slow heat, garnished
with hats so pastel they could be eaten; sprinkled over the tan river
flowing between highway and oceanand it is I, picking them out of the
hand of my eye, that consume them all
III.The ole Colcord, I’ve found, has
abandoned its negative, reciporical bond with the apparition of faces it
blends into the panes of its windows. Something old is now new, absent the o’ergrown neutral air in dawn from the pallet of time, which keeps and
ferments, so old buildings become like runes, at once personal and universal.

IV.
I move my hands over the ribbed edges of the Broadway Distillery, in
its metal skin; showing the world the harshness of its own existence, embracing frailty and sin within.
And I sit, here again, under constant screaming colossus,
fettered with flicks of light and the jingle and low-moan of the world, watching men, with roaches living in the cracks of their skin, standing like guard dogs over the sepulchre
of existence.

Little Poim
A bird in the hand isworth two in the bushof blackberriesIn a cloud of mother’s unwantednessWhose whir-voice pricks the ear like needles,And licks the cliff of its lobe.

from the diary of Francois L’Ollonais
I. The Iris is an islandAnd in the black within,lies a small sea of tragedyA window to our sin,
Islands swept up by the seathat doldrums roll to shade;A darkness touched by pristine GodIn an abyss of ken.
We passed through this like few beforeTo feel the calm like death,And as schism shakes the body’s waves,Heard shout, “We Transcendeth!”

II.It’s a marvellous thing to be deadI’ve been now, and Againone more life to live.
It’s a marvellous thing to kill,Break a man to peace, and Againone more life to take.
It’s a marvelous thing a home,and to Tortuga now, and Againonce more purged of sin.
III.Eaten a man’s heart Wind through tall trees and birds crackThrough air saturated with souls.
