dry, red
not cured, but cured

salt preserved
while the legs bow

frozen dead
not expired, but expired
can't last winter

sketches from ghost farm

in spring
when the leaves fall back
onto the trees
neon green
neon black

pour me a milk
i said to the
female ghost
i can't touch anything
the female ghost said
to me

i'm tired of
haunting the stable
i'm tired of
existential limbo
can we order a pizza
no

in spring
i rustle my sheets and chains
i change the trough water
i clean up them tumbleweeds

pour me a milk
pour it right through me
right through

Blocks

You will never win

Apple core
Empty pen
Giant air-conditioned computer
Ululating infidels crashing into themselves
Giant heated brains
Weeping sores
Massive kites emblazoned with jolly roger blanketing your every move
Yawning chasms of doubt
Spoilt milk
Death

Forgot to close tags
Forgot to turn iron off
Forgot to be avoided
Forgot to cancel hitman
Forgot

It's like this, kid
Give up early

tale of personal assistant

i hired a personal assistant
her face was made of solid wood
her golden tresses black
we startled each other
a large bus came by the compound
i heard a dog
in the night, our eyes touched
the stars were all shimmery
shim shim shim shimmeropolis

and god said from his fiery cloud
long shall your limbs grow
my sweaty child

write that down, personal assistant
write that down

phantom jaw

phantom jaw
chewing but not
talking but just spraying saliva everywhere
failing at cunnilingus
brushing toothpaste onto thin air
not really whistling at all

life is a mystery
phantom jaw

the time i got halved

as spectral light broke
across the golden boughs
of the iliac trees
at dawn
casting supple shadows
on our hands
and love was real
and time was only a thought
and the deer were barking
softly
softly
and everything was a miracle


i was sliced in half

gibbon farm

life at the gibbon farm

letting the sky have its way with you
letting go of the ghosts
keeping wind in the fridge
tidying up after the lost souls
fucking in a free republic
chewing on a glass of milk
locking yourself in a small tube
doing everything you can
wearing a red bull backpack at midnight
taking stock of your terrific life

all in all partner
it's a terrific day to die
at gibbon farm

down to death

twix and sunkist in hand
me and old man carruthers
we were doing horse-steps at the photomat
we were marrying ideas
in the long wheat shadow of agriculture
we glowed in the golden hour
we were anything

famous amos and code red in paw
we hung ourselves over death's maw
we took it to the max
we took it past the max back to the min
we went there and went in
in the long bloodpool in the back
we were definitely guilty

funyuns and jolt in maw
me and old man carruthers
we laid down in the horsekeeper's crypt
we traced stencils in the walls
in the long grey light of amorality
we both tried to hang the other
we twisted the ninth circle

you know what mom always says
feet go down to death
steps lay hold of hell

wonder drugs

a yawn issued from a realty
company employee posting on
twitter from the empty kitchen
of the model home
in the empty swath of land
where soon a mighty lawn
of identical houses would rise
to be cut down by tornadoes
just before the meth lab
exploded into caustic fragments
taking the lives of everyone
in a two-mile radius
including the young girl
who was to be the first black
gay handicapped president of
the student council at the
nearby junior college as well
as the man who would go on
to work as an organic
chemist for a major but
semi-disreputable pharmaceutical
company and achieve not quite
fame but at least financial
stability by inventing a drug
that would stop everyone from
yawning

calendar

on the day of my death
i will gather my statistics exams
i will determine my bacon-erdos number
i will add up everything
i will bleed out slowly in the bathtub

on the day after that
i will get some milk, some eggs
i will draw my invisible pictures
i will wear my gossamer lab coat
i will clean up all the blood

the following weekend
i will drive my mirage to the lake
i will scream at the top of my ghost lung
i will weep silently into the crust
i will try to get my act together

eventually
i will check into purgatory

island warp

island warp
i feel your comments
i understand your place in this earth
i feel your soul returning to god
i woke up under a tree
i noticed the next day nobody was at the waterfall
i felt my face falling off
i stuck a branch into my exposed sinus
i grew leaves out of my orbital cavities
i knelt and prayed to a false idol
i drank from a carton
i felt great
i felt you
island warp

you're my best friend

you're my best friend
your my best friend is me
my my best friend is you
you, you are the best friend of me
you are my best friend is what
you would say to me
me, i am your my best friend
friend and friend
hand in hand we are each others'
my best friends
you are
i am

murder me with a socket wrench

a cold cup of lithium

a cold cup of lithium
for me and my dad
to fill in the plotholes
that we never had
we flew to rhode island
we lived in the sand
i killed a few hours
on a gravity strand
the whistles were silent
the bullets were true
i drank from a siphon
i lived in a shoe
he built me a rocket
i guess i was glad
a cold cup of lithium
for me and my dad

the season
the holy mind
the completeness of bears
the certainty of doubt
the rising fall
the passing whale
the absolutely devastating guitar solo
the gut wing
the mountain
the absence of muhammed
the back to back sacroiliac
the flame of reason
the blood of treaties
the syrup of human error
the milk of magnesia
the time
the forest
the vulva
the wheat

i've handed you things
and no respite
elixir doesn't
last all night
two swedes in a wood and i
i killed the one less alkali
blood's no ether
blood's no eye
i've given you license
to wipe me away
maybe you will
maybe someday

it's cold up there
it's alkaline

grail diary

i say, i saw
i took it to berlin
into the lion's den
i went out and
came in again

i went out and
scraped death again
i see, you see
i see the knot that
grew on history

i grew, a man
betrothed to history
i went out and
kneeled down again
i'm penitent, you see

i belong in a museum

flying piano saga: new moon

flying piano
hand me a taco, pal
hand me a mystery

lemon and rosemary

flying piano
hand me a tourniquet
hand me a hand
hand me my grief

life sucks bro

puking stardust

this solemn lieutenant
got a shaky magnet
big as the argon sea
big as anything
field lines strafe a face
radiating pulsars
sewing up the space
tight as anything
and would you all believe
its lockstep march to sea
it's pulling him apart
blood as anything
blood as salvo salve
blood as human tree
i'm puking stardust now
i'm magnetized
to history

ballad of waterhead

he got a no name
he got a bunk prize
he got a skin rattle
he got a chin chuckle
he got a never limb
he got a breath waiver
he got a club nub
he got a paper bag

but end up
all he got was swell right up
and lay out to die
in a ray of grey light
from a vaccine sky
