To and From
THIS
POSITION
IN
CARBON

Less salvageable than a dead sweater in Rat Chapel
Less flattering than a sweaty hood on a shrill vulva
Sewing Samson into red leather in Octember
Meet me in the crawlspace and make sure to bring the cooking wine
Neat swivels in the vein weigh rivers of the midnight singers

So slowly you drift through my oxygen
solid drinks of friendly earthquakes
Chopped and Swallowed
by fire
never before these
Insufferable Accounts of Inadequate Attempts
Inexhaustible Floundering
Moments of Hesitation in Livid Situations
Mindful of the Testament to which we were created

Never fought for, Never Fought From

Selling Soot to Chimney Sweeps
Golden grid amid a golden bible saying stop
and you think you're so above it all

Underchanced Governments Undiscovering Wonderments
we were not born equipped to accept endangered animals

Fill your cup with blood in the club and shake it like a snowglobe
Dance on shattered glass with no shoes on be proud of the badge
Nature is embarrassing, Pretend it isn't happening

Fill your cup with blood in the club and shake it like a snowglobe

UNSAVABLE without inertia LIKE A DEAD PENDULUM
UNINTERRUPTABLE LIKE A PROPER WINTER
MANKIND WAS AN EXERCISE
RETURNS DIMINISHING

Fill your cup with blood in the club and shake it like a snowglobe

Sounding off from solid dead invisible trees in bulldozers

Molding you open with leaflets in your gold astounding
wet hands
brush off sins like dead skin in the wind
“Don't lose your grip in the Infinite Abysmal”

you'll be pulling icicles out of your eyes riding your bicycle in January

If you come crying, we'll say I told you so

you knelt down and kissed the birthmarks of the golden child
you were healed and let yourself fall upward into the sky

Houses Built In Beached Whales
you never know which way to hang
never centrifichaorganized ballistic
hang up on me while i'm screaming at you,

“avoiding obsessive behaviour to fill what now feels like an enormous void in your life”

They perplexed us with the sexes
Defying all our senses
we were silent sailors
unchangeably violent and violated
charged with possibility
like tv studio silence

cold corporate
Isolation naked but for perfection

She wore it like an iron-on eye smile

Infinite ice beaches outstretching inside
Colder than Shockwaves melting to make humans collide

We are not wanting Only
Notice this Alarm
This Allegiance of “One with All Beings”

Only Notice
The Sounds that surround You
in the Waves of the day

Allow your Body to fall, spirit to drift
Your tectonics shift, organs in orbit
As if you were a cartoon character and the illustrator’s grip slipped

You're not here, You're Everywhere.
In All Things
Unspaced And Occupied
The way you wear your Hair looks like a mushroom cloud
Surrounding Your Face
Expounding Grace
Surrounding Your Sound
Like a Hollering Hound

Sent Swimming through
Translucent Blue
Amid Internal rivers of lightless blood
Swimming through Vessels in black pants
To reach Ventricles moved by
Crimson Separation Commencement
A Beautiful Lady's Hand
Moved By Sinking
slow enough to regenerate
mimicking miniature mind roots screaming up from the Earth

You're not here, You're Everywhere.
In All Things
Unspaced And Occupied
The way you wear your Hair looks like a mushroom cloud
Surrounding Your Face
Expounding Grace
Surrounding Your Sound
Like a Hollering Hound

Fill your cup with blood in the club and shake it like a snowglobe
Its a taste and a taking away like night took the day
pretend not to listen as the dark did not glisten
Fill your cup with blood in the club and shake it like a snowglobe

I Survived The "Precious Beyond"
The Blast Was Nasty
Fallout Strong

from
MONKEY BARS TO FUNKY CARS
your life always seemed to have trajectory

THE WAY YOU FLIPPED YOUR HAIR TO THE DAY YOU TRIPPED ON AIR
you always seemed to understand the familiar

your friends are from heaven, they are the gifts you've been given

VISIONS OF CHILDREN, ALL REFLECTIVE, NOT CHOICE NOR PARANOIA
NOT HIDEOUS OVER EXAGGERATIONS OF WIND ON WINDOW
IN THE COLD SEASON
WHEN THE DOG WON'T QUIT
AND THE CAR WON'T START
BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT WAS BUILT

Self-Induced Schizophrenia
In the house where there is no wind
denotes the economy of youth
