No good comes from a vanilla
flash, the frying skies; don’t
look above where the wheel
in the sky spins a lathe. All
through the night until the brown
sun dawns.
Stanger, stranger,
make a brooch of your falling
teeth, the beaks of doves;
who can sex the bare skull?
A mandala of chrome rings
& the rain stings, what creature
sings when a house falls?
Everyone into the street
like a party, the wily styles
of the plastic bags,
face-huggers, concealing our last
nakedness, all I see
can’t be true to life.
The last
movie was us, the camera
high above, a roman candle
spits chromium sparks
through the seaweed-
green. No
identity: my body
is a pixel. Not
even data.
We were dancing.
Wailing came, a rook
out of the shower-
drain, our pipes far below
the buckling ground.
They erupt like bones
& spew blabbering
the black water.
It will wash
you away. A
splat of black
feathers is punctuation,
full stop the needle
pops & clicks & pops
& clicks in the groove.
