Tears Trace Down
the bottled language
compressed in the phial & now
injected into his capillaries
from the moment he was born
just the ampersands
& the hollow mouth melting
into ego’s i shadows
blood leaking & congealed
from the corners of his mind
a freshlyminted verb
hooks onto the tongue
which flails.
Albion Fracture
i in disassemble
tree/fruit/loin
clothe us money
charter watermark
i
am war-dead ego gore
corpuscle trenches/battle freeze
as acid tongue ripples
clenched in hell death
stretched skin taut union
hoopla politicians
barter small child holdings
i at we
am lithe winter etychings
a lock
some safe haven
i
the scorn chortling
dementia bone of liberty
a hacking off
statue stone/face me
i at oh force them then
those who do not glimpse
i ghost shadows
in your homing nightmare
invading force
germ/idea made ripped flesh
chaos frost in ire ice music
dances i with brother’s wolf.
