A DELICATE PREDATION
04:01
|
|
||
Applying the ritual
Despair cosmetic
For the fleeting
Film negatives/
Suspended sky
—And visible wire/
Painted celestial
Onlookers have
Gathered —here
Voyeurs and converts
Furniture corpse arrangement
bolted shut—
The installation of
Endless plaque
Of non achievement
And hair falls out/
Ensnaring within
the net of Indra/
Mechanical
synaxis
Livestock
In the infinite maw/
Blackhole drool
Mise en scene
Falling
--asleep
An audience
Of stillborn stars
Crescendo:
Tulianum construct
Stagehand severed
Lines forgotten/
Memory fades black
And then this prison
Begins to crumble
Fourth wall falling–
The simple remainder
Left when one—
Tastes their freedom
And spits it out
Austerity hammer
Groveling limply at the feet of St Augustine
In desperation
Entranced by scarcity
Cannibals, sating
A witch’s stomach/
Using real stage blood
Very Satrap
Goes the cult of
Authenticity
Neglect as
Method acting
Deceiving
Those whom
You supposedly
Educate
Blood needles lung//
The plague
That inspires
A stage directed
Vector dump for
Stendhal pricked show hound
A lunatic’s trip lined with plastic
Suspended sky hanging With visible wires–
Painted— moons and neu/tron facade–
Method —-piety—- for performance–
He tumbled— through —the false—- premise
A look, a gesture, a feign

Spotlight madness
Set
—Chime hours
—Fixed candle wick
Vermiculated
A hanging garden
—Replete with
—Invasive wants
Parasitic vines
—Exchange beauty
—For power
In the arbitrage
- Of descent/
From youthful
+Recklessness
To soiled pasts
-We Reminisce
—To die
—-On that
Napoleon Hill
Total deed
Unable to hammer
Beyond reason
With discarded
Antemortem zeal
Station terminal
Of cloistered charm
Leeching into
nearby field
Stranded
In the moral
Desert
Of your
Self flagellating
Senile pulse
For holographic
Grafted onyx dreams
//
Speak of grids
Estranged from its ejaculate/
Catholic blueprints
Will it buy you hope
Disdainful offspring
A foundation built on the premise
You will live on through
Your body of work when
Your mind is gone
-So where goes Judas
-Goes the body
-Burned out mage
Slow transmogrification
-A Vagrant worm
Spasm description of life
A chronic exhaustion
Close to gone delirium
Causal contempt
Morphine lubricant
Gold kilo urine
Grand ancestral tomb with skin
//Slaked holed cloying
But they’ll gnaw right through
Hunted by ossification

A STATUE CORROSIVE
11:05
|
|
||
Reincarnation ideation
Broken body, broken will
Into marble dust
Your annihilation will be
Wholly unremarkable
Bleached burial rites confirm
Your work will not endure
A promise made between lovers
Until the final days
Til the pain becomes unbearable
Lending to its redaction
Everything matters
Nothing matters
