Footprints

slash anguish
fear bled ember
lapsing
footprints
slashed eye analogous to sweetness of shadow indent

scar
intoxication
wound light of

sunshine headless tryst
corridors of low black severed dead –
viscid

taste laughter
collapse unbroken endless
jackal
footprints…

I want out
 
out
to
play…

stun breath
zero
attrition

attention!
I reach emptier throat
foreign
            dreaming

rope mark
dead

--

Wound

fuck 
subtle 
       severed 
opiated 
petals 
wiping out traces of rotten stone dread – of ever having 
flesh

occult 
castrated 
foreign 
        seared 
nothing designed 
I 
lapse 
bloodless desire

ice reek 
drunk emblem 
curtains broken wound 
discharge drawing 
divides – 
knife in hand

dread absent 
cataract fist feeds 
fingers wound whispers 

acrid children’s shadows
made of flesh bitten room.

In-between the Vertebrae… [Hunger]
 
Fish filth clot
words drift restless shit
the hunger for breath as of time
the scum of dissipation
skins vibrate fragmented – clear cut nihilo
 
eye for…(annihilation)
bodies blind
hungry for earth
clotted un-
spun
cast upon shadow’s null void
the pissoir in the dark fag-end open birthing violet…
 
I’m hungry colours/other
bile of foreign meat stun of
occult blood
in-between the vertebrae
spinning irredeemable musk
gagged

murmuring loveless

--

Reek
 
Black-light painted [spitting out] distances
machine of opiate nothing flesh [for the room, Ian Curtis]
im[possible] spumes of I
torn out smoke not yet claimed – echo-echo –
she [h]as a man
 
trades of lacking
taken up thy silence like radioactive light
like myself you’re bones, heart and convulsive sting – 
a teeth line wound
 
ice-pick for innards
all remain Lord in taste of false theatre
burnished by your glint of zero eye worship died:

pulse
desolate
ever the rub reek of rot flesh
