Wild Life

little membrane
a spiral you can’t escape
holy water drinker
sick by the time you get home
wild life
vagabond
stylized
city-ite
fully naked
floating in a green pool
drunk on new years
still drunk on new years day

No Forever
04:04

no rope, no calm, no field of flowers
i want only you.
sleeping on the kitchen floor, death on a soft bed
light rushes in
your nerves, too high
your hands, always finding
my love, a hallway
you get lost, searching room by room
no death, no flower, no bird, no forever,
no thread, no heart, no laugh, no tongue
i want only you.

This Ring
03:57
|

you kissed my eye out with your silverware
i little death’d my face off
all the plants in your window
make your room look like a jungle from outside
i held your feet to the floor to keep your head from flying away-
hot face full of air like a red balloon
the smallest planets in the system,
absolutely warm enough for life-
circle-swimming, finally coming out of the pool one day,
dripping like your drunk eyes
we were born into a cult of water,
we know by how we kiss.
only you wear this ring

Cell of Bliss
07:56
|
|||
sightless
swallowing down a whole body in the red light
a banquet of fire
my kisses are like nothing to the pyre
your laughing rings me like a bell
somewhere a snake coils in a bag
and lightning smiles on your corkscrew halo

Under the Mountain
03:41
|
|||
"are we lovers?",
"can we be?"-
questions asked, unfettered and unfettering.
crawling kisser
dangerous friend
borrowing each other's pools
and swimming together from each other's backyards
life and death, decided by the SHODAN
eternal life, slightly worn
the spinning hand of everything you pray about
budgie sings-
"feed me seeds!"
"couples be together twenty years and end up under the mountain"
labyrinth laugher, i can hear
your voice echo, silky like moss
chaos tools in my hand,
i can change anything you want
if you give me enough time to make and break a sigil

Fist-Sized Plum
02:46
|
|||
fist-sized plum, second to none
stop my face with your hand
will they succumb to all of this fun
i need my space, consider this done
story you say, well it wasn’t that way
buying new shoes that in three days you will lose
story i told, well the moral’s getting old
lost to the past and your chance has passed

Reflectus

|

don’t you know you’ve just gone and lit the Elysian Fields aflame?
we are no longer
hollow fragments of heavenly earth melt away
the last remaining light is now a vessel of decay
we are not who we think we are
we are not who we thought we were

Wax Ghost
04:56
|
|||
falling from his 10th story balcony he realizes that his bathroom sink is still running
running through the air seven feet above the ground he has found that the people are thinking
thinking that he's got to lay low for a while with a smile that brightens the earth
earthbound wax ghost not bound to the earth is watching us
tell my mother you're a fan nanananana of her mixed vegetables
tell my father you're a sin nananana give him someone in which to confide
tell my killer that I'm fun nanananana not to stab or shoot or deface
tell my savior that it's time to move over let the wax ghost carry me home
lying on the ceiling of a remote South Pacific cave on the shore of the ocean
wax ghost thinks about his third grade teacher and the way that she dotted her i's
a countless amount of hermit crabs form the outline of the way he pictures he'll die someday
earthbound wax ghost floating in the cave alone is crying softly to himself
going door to door with a light tan satchel we see wax ghost selling ideas
floating so gingerly through the yards of this plastic suburban landscape
dark green grass and a white picket fence and a smile that brightens the earth
earthbound wax ghost not bound to the earth is saving us
yeah, that’s what I’m talking about

lucky boy, such a joy maneuvering among the dead material
look what we’ve forgotten
fancy hands, eyes, and glands for tipping over bookshelves, heads, and potatoes
look what we’ve become
make the whole world go away
land snail, you should do whatever I say
heavenly father with a button-down shirt and the collar popped up like a jerk
little bites are taken
your course of action was flawed from the start
i don’t know

for now I will go down to Hell
for now I will go down to Hell
flowing down like water
liquid form, my matter
marble stairs are two feet wide
while the room itself is of boundless size
going down like forlorn ovals
so long, Mother Earth
for now I will go down to Hell and now I will go down to Hell
for now I will go down to Hell and now I will go down to Hell
leave behind my brothers
for to break my antlers
