Individual Poems

Dormant Hand
from "Inexorably Tied to the Carpenter and the Choirmaster"
(Buy on Etsy)

Terrible air,
flat and convex
taking a cueball to the sun.

Verily, it is gargantuan and wrong.
Horrible, it blinds oxen,
but shaves the tongues of angels

Lapidary bathtub, succulent.
Bubbles that erode neurons.
Wrath of black tendrils.

Hairless.

It snakes and quivers,
promiscuously lush in the desert

Nine freakish doves
descend like utopias unfurled,
curling in iron and frozen

Brackish lava,
gondolas in reasonable mounds
take a pill of harumphing despair.
Hairless air that strangles
like a dormant hand.
Planets that give succor
to the milkless dogs.

Immensely.

Burning eyes that quaintly die.
Freeze in the breeze of prophets.
Garish costumes in jasper wreaths.
Taken aback by cars.

No, it isn't hellish.
The guard of diamond licks it.
Burnt iron of Jezebel
kisses the breeze of terror.

Torrents of blood
from a hot day.
It isn't terrible tennis
or ice on the table.

Recomposed of hairs
that freeze in despairing jives.
Remaining in sleep,
the dream gallops.

North of dreams tenuously dead.
Night takes a cigarette.
Idiotic lives of tauruses,
what a day for treason!

Baroque nerves crumble
inside the skull of all.
Formulated to lose the dice
that take antidepressants for blame.

Remain!
Horrible cul-de-sacs!

Blacken the skies tomorrow
with armor that's quite delicious.
Dragons lick salt
and nitric acid abounds.

Bring me the head of reasonable doubt.

Veins pulse in unison.
Taking a journey to sell heroin.
Allow me the pleasure
of a deadened moment of clarity.

Terrible vegan wrath
that takes in the surroundings with moronic math.

Never.

Insulation drinks saliva,
like a contraption made to nullify.
Grog that tastes like lilies
frozen in the drain-spout.

Merciless.
Crumbs of angels,
the swords of sexual passion
take away the competition
like doves that drop clouds.

Into the dearest card
the pen swivels and churns.
Near the field unfurled
the drapes crop the trees.

Enmity.

Torahs that crease the sky
with terrible bricks from below.
Harlots that eat cigarettes
and take in the surroundings.

Terribly.
