Comes In Twos

two halves, two chambers each
cells afloat all brave the breach
a shaky design
in no time
with zigzagging lines
in no time
fall apart at the fault lines
in no time
these plates have paths that divide
in no time
all things and their opposites
no center for the sides of it
no proof or prime
to be mine
two halves, two chambers each
wires fly wild inside
down the incline
in no time
blue and red-eyed
in no time
guts all rub against the spine
in no time
days leave bite marks behind
in no time
oh, we perfect two
can't keep our ones
from showing through

Bloody Ghost
04:08

|

|
animal-toothed smile
but the eyes invite you in
all night
in the language of old friends
mythmakers,
we are each an author
we are both a word
ghosts in all the organs
ghosts that make up a body
ghosts that measure the muscle's ache

Calcite Skull

neck's flower
rootless alright
the light will find your bones
crystal-toothed maw
the light will find us
and we'll surrender every fossil
every cog and bolt
coils, wires, screws, clasps
tumbling throatwards
and we'll let off our atoms
one by one, we'll let off our atoms
leave no map, no ghost
just myth to haunt the history
when we cave in and phase out
leaving only our architecture
when we're boiled down to blueprints
a claw, a tooth, a tusk
layers down or locked deep,
our architecture
offered up for excavation
unfused, unearthed and rebuilt
we'll let go our wires
and leave our turtle shells
and fond farewells behind
the love of our granddaughters
just a shape in the shale
a lonely lizard scale
a lone tooth
ancient and mouthless
a meaning for a moment
an ice age for a grave
come away, come wild
love and everything
love and everything
oh no, don't
no, don't go
a skeleton inside
a shell's secret ocean sounds
oh no, don't
no, don't go
a skull in the attic now

Sub-Part
05:26
|
|
||
|
surely go
sadly went
bodies fixed in lattices
linked in crisscross patterns
there’s no separation now
stories make shadows, too
light narrow through letter holes
gaps in g’s and gaps in o’s
gaps along the well-lit way
hell and all, hullabaloo
lashing at our unlikely arc
bend in bits or break apart
and reel your pieces in
stories make shadows, too
light behind and dark the shapes
the words project on where we’re aimed,
on where we’re pointed now
each with others
ghostly rattlings
shake all your parts and your sub-parts shake too
shake all your parts and your sub-parts shake too
each with others
shake all your parts and your sub-parts shake too

Eye Angles
02:11
|
|
||
|
subjects in love
objects in peril
the angle the eye
catches the light at’s the meaning
i know it’s seeming
and sparks where
lines of sight
skim their targets
and zigzag wildly on
subjects in flux
objects in need of
some signifier
a word or two
to anchor to,
a truth to share,
a something there,
a fleeting fleck
