hand grenade bodies, after Lisa Jarnot

by @luke-gagnon

o hand grenade red bodies of loring park, you paintings of hand grenade bodies, you bed with bodies and kneading and needing red hand grenade bodies you bed, o and you the bed and bodies, I sleep on the paintings of red beds and hand grenades and emptiness, you the hand grenades of the attempting and the receptacles, you the womb of emptiness, the emptiness for the womb receptacles, you the kneader of the accidents and bodies and non-wet matches and wombs, and you the wombs and you the wet empty bodies and me and wombs, and you the attempting yet starving, and the feast and wet match starving hand grenade bodies and you rasping and grasping and wombs the accident receptacles starving, and you the receptacles and wombs, and her the one I love, and we who cannot produce, and all starving emptiness, and all the bodies and wombs and grenade hands on the paintings starving of this accident.

Notes

this is an emulation of Lisa Jarnot's "Ye White Antarctic Birds" below:

Ye white antarctic birds of upper 57th street,

you gallery of white antarctic birds, you street

with white antarctic birds and cabs and white

antarctic birds you street, ye and you the

street and birds I walk upon the galleries of

streets and birds and longings, you the birds

antarctic of the conversations and the bank

machines, you the atm of longing, the longing

for the atm machines, you the lover of the

banks and me and birds and others too and

cabs, and you the cabs and you the subtle

longing birds and me, and you the

conversations yet antarctic, and soup and

teeming white antarctic birds and you the

books and phones and atms the bank

machines antarctic, and you the banks and

cabs, and him the one I love, and those who

love me not, and all antarctic longings, and all

the birds and cabs and also on the street

antarctic of this longing.
