I.
who balanced quartz on sandstone
intercepted and whipped
merged and executed
strapped and Africanized
they of midnight waking journalism
murdered and acquisitioned
polished and emptied
torn and lost
strips of Fort Apache limestone
hermetic and evoked
fielded and expelled
creaming and writhing
deported and aborted
(the short game)
II.
who go as hard as they can
into the night fog silence
gunning for time lapse cosmology
lighting up soaked leotards
over detritus and goat milk
under blank undersized raptors
calm and relaxed
waiting for death
with a small man
excited to spawn
III.
clean urine
clean balls
clean kings
clean actor
clean filth
clean clean
IV.
who write the pollution
gripping forearms in the storm
legacy of crippled generals
skinning cabezon
Long Beach sun melting into the sea
V.
Mohammed choking on a comet
no more nah less John
dirty foot freestyle
pacing the flow of Negril
panties, panties
Mormon aching
ease verbal buttress black takes
rugged sound of “H” no tracks
even the mackerel Long Beach
sun melting into the sea
VI.
committed to taut body forms
flowing the jerid through warm air
scared sacred
scared sacred
(long form)
VII.
thunder
lightning
all
entombed
