plump Ginsberg lips
they are blown up as cherry balloon kissing
the mindscape Dallas
the youngest cityline tender
on the dour tenderloin
the shout of echo believers
ride on razor line prophecy
as true friends molt
clueless millennials scream the taglines,
but never look you in the eyes
lairs nothing if not comfortable
your money is rabid bacteria
loose in the plot
your theme knowledge of diversity
but how to write this electrical brain output
slimy decayed living again
resurrection before
genetic repair
withdrawal to ritual of burying the unborn dead
as you swim above me
thus anointing the bodies with the oil of puritans
viscous patois covers senses
these derma-plates that
shield from all but elemental forces
close eyes as the garlic clove will
begins with ethnic grain shootout
and ends with fig hypocrisy – the
olives Mediterranean vibe – drinking
cappuccino in the morning with slack jawed servants
famous
for fingers of weathered stone beckoning
cruel taunts yet unforgiven
their lifelong prejudice
for the northern climes, Varangian
as nature twists
spherical comment
Byzantium scents on Columbus
