More hard flesh

She will always be hungry
speared on a setting sun twisting
Small machine is not a trouble

Gigantic measurement of your phallus
as in a squirrel that chases you
down the alley
on a power line
chattering angrily all the way
Relax and have fun with Poker

Small male device is not a trouble

Become a real man increase your aggregate
and then maybe because you are awake
steal the snow from her body

add more hard flesh to your package

Thick weather

We were all covered over
in ice here once

All the grasses and all the trees
All the winds and all the storms
had to stand still

for centuries

I like to think of the pressure
around everything back then
The limits of rootedness

Here here here here here

and where the depth of everything
leads in such thick weather

Abandoned warehouse

Post-modern Poetry - Lewis LaCook

In a hot room at the end of december
the monsters have found us yet again

In a hot room that’s nothing but walls
my breath escapes me
and swirls around rusted bars in windows
hissing and whispering to me

The face of this warehouse rusts before your eyes
The face of this warehouse grins like noises
in the walls
The face of this warehouse soaks you with voices

and leaves you to stand gape-open
heavy
before it

I’ve always been curious about this spot
and stopped on my walk home to
gaze up bricks into black maw windows
open full of hidden screams onto the street

It’s so much taller
than you are
Somehow more awake

Hsu yun: Mirror Pond on Mount Taibo in Shanxi

The water and my mind have both settled down
Into perfect stillness.
Sun and moon shine bright in it.

At night I see in the surface
The enormous face of my old familiar moon.
I don’t think you’ve ever met the source of this reflection.

All shrillness fades into the sound of silence.
But now and then a puff of mist floats across the mirror.

It confuses me a little
But not enough to make me forget to forget my cares.

Skimming your pulse

I want to make some noise
covered in animals

I want to skim the forest floor
closer to the pulse and the pain
exploding in my blood and
hunting to clear my head

When you hunt clarity
the edges smudge
you hunger wracked in a silence

too big for you
Look at the quiet falling
all around the body you’ve
wept Watch the sun fall

on your head
Covered in animals

and even then not in yourself

Stepfathers should always stand outside the magic circle

for Clem

When the kids are asleep
i forget the beatings

I forget how you
took that sleep from me
and filled it with monsters that growl
under my wake

Stepfathers should always
stand outside the magic circle

stepping on the edges
making sure it doesn’t draw tighter
into a noose

They are not horned beasts
dragging off the princess mother
into dark bedrooms
that trouble dreams

and neither were you

Like me you were a man
fighting not to slip down
all those holes in yourself

Round with no center
Round going down in the middle

Oh honeys i cling to the edge
Oh babies some days i know the secret
of levitation

Maybe you were too blind
Maybe diabetes took your sleep
Maybe you never realized how heavy it is

to sculpt men from the precipice
to sing something bright in these
meadows blazing with rust

The Mendicant’s Rhetoric

The heart pauses at the flicker
of a disposessed lighter

Halfway through
supple mendicant
the only evidence for which
is definition

That we could imagine
some sorta simultaneity

is proof of the rhetoric
Showing you my scars
of periods my bleak semi-
colons

Everywhere you would ever want to pause
is in my skin

Poem electronic

Is this thing on
doused with bandwidth
is this thing on
waving around on what’s under us
is this thing on
or is it plastic
borrowing body from
a threnody of enabling

Will it work if i shake it
if i slice that sentient air
will it work if i shake it
or are we all too wracked by now
will it work if i shake it
will it always be plastic
stealing solvency from
my history crumpled and melting in the sun

How about i kick it
careen it off into space
how about i kick it
thread it through with worksong beats
how about i kick it
kick the plastic out
and give it its own eyes
so i can look like myself for once

Lilith and Kali

Bathed in ribbons of flesh
the skin of light falling over her eyes
organs spilling fanning out over snow

She’s a clean you can’t comprehend
pray you’re never that clean

A bird you found in the woods once
feathers spread flush with the ground
sulphur blackening the wind

Ribbons of her enemies
trickling down her chin
tracing themselves down to
agnostic hips

She’ll dance to every song
you ever fucked to

and every song returns her to you
whole–Gulls scramble shrill on the river
hungry throughout slate clouds

Ovid

The blush
The rose
The rash

It’s grown this big
I turn food over in my mouth
My speech is crowded–there’s

crushed skulls oh walls of skulls
winding down a still corridor

The flat and
The glass

It’s dimmed here

The workers have stopped in
my belly
and only ape your posture
as you stare back at them

Small oval image

Vague swimming through milk
silt clinging to gills splintered
aiming mimeograph

arguments in mud endure silk
rudely-nice with disproportion

you thwart
your throat

over hot cola old locals swing
vagrancy twine in the depths
of ache-full udders

Dry laser mathematics

This online software will convert your media
from one format to another

I like laser_trill.au
stuffing myself with sound

I force dry tobacco
into a paper tube

Black cats rubbing stars
out of my legs

They’re talking to mathematics
trying translations as a tongue-bath

December 11, 2007

Twist off

I’d love to help you
with your conversion marketing

in the gray rain all the streets
rubber and twist off into shine

i never thought i’d need
so many people

sitting in their cars across our neighbors’
treelawn watching me pass out

Corkscrew

To the extent we are being observed
detective eyes slipping over my curls, curves
my hair a corkscrew angel’s halo

The truth is I either fear little or everything
and I turn in on myself, spinning flesh
I smoke the flowers and I eat the capsules
and I turn myself into myself

The transgressions
The transgressions
The transgressions

Maybe I’ve declared war on symmetry
and weight the left, lighten the right
True knowledge of the Image is
that there is no center to it

or that the center has collapsed
under thought’s murdering babble
and I’ll be right here if you need me
because you will need me
