Exposed Copper
I have a planned essay but I don’t have time to finish it right now, so here’s a collection of “poems” I’ve written since 2022 (most on my Patreon), since apparently I do that now:
My breath like ash
My heart like coal
My boots kiss shells
And I burn all My gut caustic
My eyes are salted
My legs lactic
But not exalted
My mind tastes copper
My wings caught branches
My lungs are soot
Yet no advances
My throat screams' scratch
My blood hears mold
No warmth in here
In this abode
“untitled”
Rainbow drops a cardboard box,
Sits on turf grass, holding the drumming
rhythm of true North,
Dew nose and frenzied stems, Carbon, Sulfur, and Potassium Nitrate,
The smoke hides under bombardment,
An untuned string plays A minor, a frail
finger attempts vibrato atoms and
shockwaves on maple,
Spruce, ebony, but bad acoustics
Can't stop the drumming, the shots, nor
the untrained hand. Small conflagrations
at the bow, Temples throb and sore
necks, the drums' rapture
“Ash and Wood”
Rumbling hearth and dying embers,
Stargrass and spiral,
Function to Sirius,
Motion visions and sleeping doe,
Moose bellows, strings of the pines,
A chimney web, a home for the meek,
Tomorrow's faith, a history of the vertex,
The bells of brass, a silver body,
The canon fires, the spines break,
The red dye fades
“Limits”
Stochastic love collisions,
Multi-variable embraces,
Silk on marble,
Dung and brimstone,
Kissing lichen rocks, warmed (or hearth)
A swollen artery,
A function (a,b), reverie
And where a derivative
Where heart drums beat cochlear nerves?
“Fall Vomit”
Words skid as ice on vinyl
In a tempered weather whorl
Rosemary thicket bush, spine pine scent, Onyxed, ebony movement in topological semantic riddles,
Curved space fountains,
Dry leaf fiddle stick 'gainst the tide of North-March shots,
Storms in grace
Tempest in form,
Repose bowery crops
Submarine whale, theater, doppelgänger ambivalence and loving hands,
Shoulders of salt
“Oct 22”
Chthonic equations, lyrics of dust,
Notes on a silver key signature,
Staccato prophecies, discrete magnitudes,
Mantis sun, heraldic moon,
Warm coils, processing daisies,
Rapture of Isaiah, wind of kronos,
Jesus algorithm, parable of decay
Sefirot and living word, verdant gamma rays
Добропожаловать
The periphrastic urge in socialism
“Red-Tripe Sound”
Pear-fond rollex sync,
Troubled-pond ripples portend,
A cellar razgavor, a training barrel nozzle,
Clock waves in prison shores,
Tumeric vase, red-tripe philosophy,
Inward hypostasis, in-reeling ghost
fishing out the active-plated steel,
Mandrake scream so apt for sound
The ecclesia vlast'
Leviathan rests in mattered absence
“Sep 17th”
Gunpowder soaps
And scavenger drains,
Parable of sins,
Where pond water twirls,
A ray refracted, radiating topology,
And God uses an interpreter,
And we, assembly, 1 & 0
“Aug 26th”
The grass swayed to the song of clouds,
the rocks bathed in time,
The birds nested in bark,
And here I sat, trembling
