quietly before dark,
before fiery fingers float
above warrior pyre,

along the edge of
pharoah's grave.
walk desperately,
dare reptiles

to hinder flight,
to shroud sleep with stormy waves,
with ice cakes and ice floes crammed together
in mud and grass.

out the window
you emerge from
jeweled nutrients,
finally tango aloft.]]><![CDATA[boulders fall]]>Wed, 12 Jan 2022 19:30:43 GMThttps://www.realtimebabies.net/realtime-blog/boulders-fallboulders fall on isaac
it doesn't matter
unless you live a billion
on blinking biplanes

the border on all sides wants me
open and closed on a terrible boundary
like dirt we dig to hide in a mournful hole with mommy
i say it doesn't matter isaac

i say stars twine blinking
on your unblinking body
after a star shines clear for worldwide dawn
just witness clearly shining biplanes

visibly yours
your dry parametric taxi wars
want youngest biplane's
thin prehistoric suffering

babies small as sand grains
try to crush the armored cars
and pile up virus on the road
astonishingly fast

so blinking quantum baby
has immense hope
she'll astonish viral genes
that charm your empy door]]><![CDATA[share my young flat youth]]>Fri, 24 Sep 2021 20:31:21 GMThttps://www.realtimebabies.net/realtime-blog/share-my-young-flat-youthshare my young flat youth with berries
minus eminent nude wearing
flippant dead babes
naked nightclub
healing father flesh
both yellow virgin graves
now kill vagina killed young
chemical nothing amen

kill terrified yoga queen
break weak sailor queen
break therefore tassel strange
like always focus cosmic peer point
us again so royal steel

your eyeball finds dynamic ocean
beside his naked guilty breath
against ferocious gentle night
because stars sparkle

jointly dance black feast so
open quiet different needs
i take myself no planet joint
protect explodes and argues]]><![CDATA[trapped]]>Sat, 11 Sep 2021 01:31:13 GMThttps://www.realtimebabies.net/realtime-blog/trapped
trapped once upon a time in a dinosaur egg
i give birth to three kind radios starving
in a soviet prison, an oasis of radio waves
fills me with warm water.
my tongue inside you tastes the ocean between planets,
seas swim in your eyes.

smiling for me, the great one
scrapes dawn off the musical planet,
demands generous light
around stars,
brave and mirrored
clouds swim in your eyes]]><![CDATA[friday i slept late]]>Thu, 28 Jan 2021 23:06:58 GMThttps://www.realtimebabies.net/realtime-blog/friday-i-slept-latewhen the crew vehicle rolls a slow bouncer
to the linden tree too smooth to eat
i listen to my cohort of apples oranges and pears
and wake up exhausted in the land of no sleep

it was so exciting to slumber
in the sudden wet pool i can describe exactly
or else forget because i'll again slather
one two or three percent of her cashmere cheek

so i eat some of the crew vehicle
before the bottom of the sea comes to eat it
grinding the proteins of history into one atom
you grind up like charlie chaplin

there's an empty place on market street
where i used to ask for my locked up dreams
i imagine the naked woman there laughs
till my eyes crack open and bleed

she reminds me it's too rainy to go hungry
too rainy to remember my friends
is it dinner time or september
i'll go outside to see if my dogs

arrived with drops of water
from the burrow of names
and bellow]]><![CDATA[Girders of the Night]]>Mon, 28 Dec 2020 00:06:00 GMThttps://www.realtimebabies.net/realtime-blog/girders-of-the-nightI've published my latest book -- Girders of the Night.

while young leaders green and guilty
drink doll blood

unhappy orchids fall among those
pouring infinity
into god’s clothes

I look under the couch and see a bulgarian tank bulldoze
back and forth over the russian gangster city
hacking internet doll blood

in their arms so
they can't jack off til the party
purges all her clothes

in the dining room where fred and what's her name arose
fucking fiercely as she proudly wags her big bare galaxy
and sucks sweet doll blood

nasty operas text you weary whale mythos
all night and pervert your ancient integrity
once god takes off all his clothes
and drinks doll blood

the open martian eye hides the rocket blasting
a plague of robots to the roses in my pocket

but i wanted to be free so i walked down Aniara
and no one with clothes dies on any other spaceship
so i fly past her planet with a little blood on my fingers

and gently stroke her trembling crimes
as she eats flames between planets
where no planetismal will creep in her lungs and cry

for her flaming heart
for the forgotten world of days
tangled together

in this ancient firepit
where men and women stream like
gas and dust from passing stars

their thrilling dreams of gas and dust
like snowflakes fall on distant hills
and melt as droplets i can’t touch

and order the driver
to learn all the sky and earth
out the car window

where senators
flying out the car window
violate butterflies

charging weary voters
suck from the radio
a flowering universe

that knows the old stories
miles and miles
before time bled

from our wrists
until empty and eaten
by the adoring goddess

we die
like mama
in us
