Drinking My Whiskey Teeth

Drinking my whiskey teeth in the spiral of an unknown maw

Jumbled in my cups, where the thorns parade on ice

And gallons of faraway evaporate like an up close Eden…

My lungs full of aire and radioactive lovesongs

bejewelled in twilight… sink into me like a long groan

of quiet… choking on a scream that paintbrush cannot fathom

nor my prayers recite.

The volume of my sphere, squaring off with my span of years.

Folding space into impractical toys; my rivets, clenched in redwood

And forgotten things, purged by sleepless Time

On a pyre of inflammable

Pitards.
