Lay null amid my family

Posted on November 26, 2008 by Lewis LaCook

While her head is sorely pretty
this lurid null animates his lips
Most of my family lay with me rotting
I was alone afloat obtuse sutures
locked in pace and fucking their saints

Perfect Rotten Song

Posted on November 24, 2008 by Lewis LaCook

His head jangling with scripts pretty
with lurid songs dropping from his lips
like the most perfect rotting fruit
There are oceans alone in obtuse cascades
in locked rooms where the damned pace

Ticker parade

Posted on November 19, 2008 by Lewis LaCook

There’s a shot to the head in this form
The lyrics are all about lyrics from other songs
I would be perfect just the way I am waving
to you across oceans of ticker parade
Just shake my damned hand and let’s go

Dry like the dogs

Posted on November 17, 2008 by Lewis LaCook

Curls jangle latently around my head
whispering lyrics flooded with collapsed sunshine
On a morning almost stagnant almost perfect
I’ll discard what songs ticker in my flesh I’ll walk too far
out into an arousal of waves and shake you off

Flush with morning rains

Posted on November 3, 2008 by Lewis LaCook

If it’s my head quite warm for november
pushing past blatant sunshine for this tilting
She’ll end up flush with morning rains hands-down
among what mouths silently discard over the rail
We can see the plastic waves in my coffee

Beyond The Bother of Sunlight by Sheila E. Murphy and Lewis LaCook Now Available!

Beyond The Bother of Sunlight by Sheila E. Murphy and Lewis LaCook Now Available!
"Lewis LaCook and Sheila E. Murphy each make poetry that is based on a heightened sense of the swarming and proteic emotional and experiential – even historical – resonances of the events, processes, and situations of very keenly felt human lives. This means that they both over- and under-lay these processes/experiences with many other things from the complexities of any present moment, so the reader sees/thinks these many things simultaneously, like looking through many transparent layers of images, all superimposed. This is writing that is not so much concerned with presenting any kind of rhetorical moral “correctness” (the most visible – and tedious – mode of American poetry for some time now), as in creating a truly complete human world."
--John M. Bennett
