Cleaning the Mirror

(BlazeVOX , 2008)

 

 


start-

ing from one breath and

a sharp loc-

us, unwitting choices

spew chaotic

albeit genuine sp-

ume and in that

bedlam levees over-

flow and lost words plash

onto feral shoals, syn-

tax prematurely ashore

and wound up, tense

as the one that got a-

way

flinty skin slaps quick fix

on public eye targeting chromatic

plenum: astral scattering

of plumes, crayolas melted

on basalt midnight. exiled

ghost inks reckless glyphs depicting

one penultimate scam or other,

sharpens fetishes in frost-free

outer space. swords deftly sever

links between glittery saint and mock-stone

shrine. likely tickers ponder focal

points of punctured wreaks.

dervishes breach their zeal, twirl

the feverish dust.
