Two Poems
Gone To Hide
How To Party
Daily sorts
support limbless
disagreements scene: local
house haunted
lenses soldiering space
erect mourningKeep going
frame correction
Keep going
transcontinental lame
Enough mountains pound
sprinkles into tiny towns:murder petals end
punishing stalls to beach looms
formed season otherInherited horizon mutilates mask
trumpets tapping to
carry difference
they tap
occupied present
over and over
sliding this spun pastCorralled cycles leak sharp
points carry artifact:
limit signal present pulse: empty
boxes
heaving heavies
of hurried color
hangingElect of
relative killed bones swinging
porch and rafters
farm image bleeding contempt
to prize must mean memory
returns more than its gotGo on
covered seamsGrow on
lonely crime:break apart singled: shorter
flag safety could be
slits to a
parapet–there is nowhere
else to go pipes geography
like a five year oldBringing
foldBring it
ancientLegend conversation
a post to come
back to circling
structures surround
paint-gardens branching cornered
into brokenMake up mind
with thatch roof envy
wakes with heads hanging
bodies
missingcomplications
inviting taped sections to paradeThis has nothing to do
We, city to make
beautiful days, turn
struggle into murals.Ruins of spiked red
brushes strain to
say, “pleasure takes
hung space: ambiguous
hint of breakdown: a singled piece of
every.
The first representation
swallows sound.
Some call today, some step down
is occurring. No shift. A basement
rapidly storying, we may miss a tell of
relation.Broke frames of graded,
we begin as
both, bare with
hammer in hand. A hasbarriers to rebuild: sad, lost.
Blood to other, it is
it is not, this is too global::
You. Enemy. There.
I . Me. Here
stroked to cultivate, “is
with particular between space
changing scaffolds.
It is already happening.
