I pour some coffee while the hibachi coals are dying
the scales of the dragon twinkle I snap crackle pop I am a greenhorn recently
jingled it means my words are blooming and you and I should get kinetic
together. Our footing is composed of feet our syllables are impelled by breath
a pencil rolls across the table I like to travel I grow into cats and prowl
it’s a typical afternoon I pound the wall expecting slaps and Jean Paul Sartre
instead I get my curves greased and a garden fascinates the senses.
The drum is a device for rhythm and there is a
celebration in my knees I load my ribs with paradigms I gallop across my skin I
am brooked by a wall my prophecies are steamed into wallpaper my cracked hands
uncurl over a revelation mohair sparrows chowder and Bach.
Our ache is a general ache unpredictable and gallant
anything can happen and often does this isn’t chronological no but it’s wiggling
and apparitional a hypothesis sails at dawn with a spectrum of violent colors
let us scream acceptance let us perforate the sneer of need.
I feel a little pink as I merge with emptiness the
linen redeems the cutlery a bowl of walnuts is reached by the tongue of a
soubriquet a little import named Arbuckle points to the door of a garage if I
change into a stick a cyst of pathos will ensue the wood is beautifully grained
can we assume that construction with nails hammers drills is a conversation
held together by mutual interests and dangling modifiers move your finger along
the frame of the painting see how it explodes into a river this is how the day
unfolds this is how I flex my alphabet and tether all circumstance to a
structure of words. The alphabet is expansive and plump. I beat my fists
against the wall I hear the engine of a fishing boat a deformation of sound
roiling the air this palette is thick with black watch as I draw an amendment
for the constitution of a washbowl.
I polish the surface of a river with a rag of
sunlight and feel magisterial I am swarming with bees sweet and shiny and
copper the radiator explodes into a river and somewhere near Rocky Neck an egg
in a nest of white feathers cracks and a form with wings newly made emerges the
boat breaks and a plot opens the grass of the cemetery is charming and green
death is a puzzle no one returns to tell us about it they just stumble across
the heavens like clumsy brains of sunset vapor.
I expand so that I can know you your life is showing
grow into a grievance bristle and sell things a sky rises the defense of it is
natural the honors are all mine atoms split and materialize and draw the
caboose like mules of sad energy I feel the soft green moss on the bank this is
my heart it is the swirl of water in the river there is a necessity in all of
us I have black tusks the sand is moving its proximity tickles as it blossoms
into a cut. The holes are scratching their own emptiness it is a delectation
for idle reverie coherence is clasped by ghostly conviction the bowfin is
crammed with meat I am but a version of myself a tangle of hair in a crotch
passes for beach grass whispers of corollary sound there is a vital usurpation
in surf the road disappears beneath the wake of a philosophy as it rolls in
sparks through the zone of a russet emotion that once loomed variable as a
sanctuary within my heart and now hums inside a mailbox like a fossil of ancient
feeling and rouses the expression of an otherworldly force it is Picasso
knocking at the door all sternum ribs and rope he wears a stethoscope and a
necklace of chili peppers the butterflies are on their usual excursion even in
the snow their colors are more vivid than ever.
So what if this is an excursion of ink if the hair
thickens then is the room beside itself or is it still just a room I am public
as a frequency yet private as a testicle illumined by a knot of semen an
alchemy of fingers releases the suspension it is green and black like the
conversation of wood crackling with fire a grove of birch greets the blasts of
wind with impassive contrasts of white and black it is like the parchment of
angels the counsel of roots a mountain colliding with the sky and extruding
their wonders in rock and ledge the clouds boil gleefully over the peak I reach
for my zipper and purge a hectic embryo shouting feathers and singing to the
bark of a tree. I wear a belt of car pistons and tremble with the ghosts of
rejection I do a handstand I’m a naked resource I can paint a fire drill with a
cube of butter and a wisp of incense. The gardenia weighs a pound and the radio
does a sashay in the cabin of a spectacular nipple. It is a clear signal. Heave
your mind into the universe and buy a motorcycle. Sprawl about in words. Visit
Connecticut. Bring a ladder. Bring syllables. Turn derelict. It will all fall
into place. Whatever it is. Slow thunder and sand. It will be drawn to you. You
will be drawn to it. The times. The future. The conception of night and day.
Life itself. The rhythms of the road. The sea. The sky. The orbit of a hand.
