I will collapse into a fitful sleep
& dream of you, sitting my chest
pressing a pillow gently to my face.
It’s not your fault––
there’s nothing to be done.
Accident prone, brittle boned.
Elbow shattered
at the bottom of the stairs.
Picking at the scabs around the incision.
The worms beneath my skin
& the snakes coiled around my guts
hum discordantly.
Flowers wilting in the corner,
unnameable fruity smell of mould filling the room.
Bucket of stagnant water under the kitchen window.
Kick it over:
earwigs & roaches scatter in all directions.
Take me down like a feral dog.
Bury me somewhere deeper and darker than that cold April night
when the rain lashed the windows…
Split from collarbone to floating ribs (bleeding out in our bed).
Encircle my body,
consume and engorge.
*
Standing in your yard now.
2am: light pollution haloes round the edges of the houses.
Your teeth still visible on my wrists & my breasts.
Briefly, life is beautiful.

silence interior as action potentials occlude
into beige tingles in fingertips and sclerotic thumbs
spinozist substance abuse of expensive chalk
in all its accidents of libidinal contortions converted
into trappist sloths of inverted pink virtue.
transvestic postulants of acephalous bliss dripped by
a good ghostly drop of the One. deafened by
the sound of drunken ambulances squealing and
children glazed in zoonotic bacteria from
rolling in the fetid mud of city playgrounds
into a mesocyclone of half-remembered Absolutes of
benz-fried GABA receptors soundclouds of unknowing.
a single word is either a shield or aporia yet
oxazepam is always many a shield.
anxiolytic negation contra squirming flesh and a forebrain
cleansing of neurocapitalist twittering overwhelm
finite minds unable to contain the limitless of the celestial.
a mindless xanax blind hindbrain halfsleeps
bricked by the dementia of the young is the closest
mankind has tasted the entropy of heaven.
teens castrated knifelessly to become angels
pure and sperm-white and biblically accurate
with unbrushed hair and mallgoth strap leathers
all wings spasming with christ’s forgotten organ
swallowing as all light shines none too dimly.
valium yields a form of dying best enjoyed in quick fits
(cough) or it will be suffered shaking, vomiting and long.
yet a transcendent tangle of shredded nerves in
a cumulus of divine forgetting, found exclusively in the
urinals of raves and the shrunken cortexes
of the senile everywhere at the end of money.
It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle,
than it is for the rich to enter into the kingdom of god
yet this bricked pale girl is already there
stark naked in its forecourts.
-
in the name of the father
my divine light severed finger from
a chemical kenosis claps and twists out
in the names of the father
my delusional bed of dried lavender
makes as much nonsense as a koan
in the name of the son
he was pulled out of his sex
and plunged into the nerves of stars
in the real of the holy spirit
I become as gentle as grass
and spin like a roofied ballerina
-
empty the
sea of the skull
like a sun dying out
kenosis always chemical
