make minimal jazz

3/23/2022

0 Comments

 
dreary photos want jazz
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.

boulders fall

boulders 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

share my young flat youth

share 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

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

friday i slept late

1/28/2021

when 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

god takes off

10/24/2020

god takes off all his clothes
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

wait for email

4/20/2020

i wait for email that never comes from the glass eye on mars
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

i look carefully

in my uniform i look carefully in the car window
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
