Sax and Violence
and for once
the heartbeat of a sax
is conceptualism
bebop’s golden reach
blue notes dangling
like chrysalis in the air
i feel my muscles hypertrophy
they call abstraction a sin
who’s who?
invest time in an invention
that subverts gravity
pulverizes matter
boxes its ear
sends it whimpering back
through the pines
could be time well spent
careful with those
acciaccaturas, bird
might behead somebody someday
maybe even me.
Tesla Had a Twin
the words between words are words
am was is rejoice!
one minus x = nightmare city
toss the ring skirt the boss
ring the bones nothing’s lost
cassiopeia bondaged again
500 tons of cocaine in her cleavage
wickedness blinds the deaf
the words between words are warring
troop stamp tramp sloop stomp
mace spear knave sword slave
he who breathes life into horror
drinks pain
electricity grinds its axe again
one plus x = sweet retirement
ante up
it’s all over.
Chloë is All Grown Up
she belongs to the nice
the 5th wave of opportune
the mystic ambrosia
accidentally cut bleeds ambivalence
naturally tanned
drunk off laughter
gracile in her touch
gloomy in ignominy
the opposite of love is transparency
bidding war / lottery / slot tournament
prize: her hand
results: no winner
perhaps just the bridge from which
her lonely heart was flung.
A dedication of thankfulness is all together to pick an opportunity to take a gander at this, I feel tremendous about it and love centering much what's start and end the all the all the all the what's start and end the all pro papers review the all the all the correspondingly concerning this issue. It is key for me. A dedication of gratefulness is all together for such a central help a little while later.
ReplyDeleteIn the little press abstract world, the Pushcart Prize is practically equivalent to an Academy Award, so a designation can demonstrate productive en route in getting acknowledgment from other scholarly markets. For my situation, I was assigned by the editorial manager of Hawk and Whippoorwill for my sonnet "Lost At Sea." It's really one of my preferred ballads, as well, given the enormous measure of research that went into making it.
