ROOT
wing, blade, glass, step
3/30/2025
and thereupon the ceiling of the world
sits our callow god
helplessly sovereign
slackjawed & drooling sweet rain
each pointed tooth in his idiot grin
a brilliant star in the void he calls home.
we look for him, we seek to worship
every prayer a scam
the holy pyramid scheme enlarges.
staring down into the earthly dunghill he's built,
the pointless games he's officiated,
unleashing fire and blood,
he rocks as he squats to shit,
muttering to himself
a sacred song we'd kill to hear.
Philsophy of _____
the night stars cascade across the velvet sky
like a goblet of diamonds spilt by god on the dimensionless black curtain
that separates the earthen realm from the heavenly abyss
o, what stain!
seeing it all in its milky extravagance
atop these violet windswept dunes i'm overcome
by retroactive loss that blackens my past
my life has been so long
yet how will i ever finish it
2/09/2025
my eyeballs feel nearly frozen, i stare at my feet
as i march toward the darkening horizon
let me check the mail - just junk
let me empty the dishwasher
