for them

now i fet it the broccoli exploding heads against me

put the wavering native american eyes in your mouth

chew and swallow

i see heaven now laid out on a dusty suburban street

with heavens light poking through holes in a dark dark liquor pool sky

all the little buggies like that

hovering

 

and then there you are

appearing out of stone green alabaster ladders

she comes now spewing hot sauce out of her mouth

winged lepars and polio stricken words out of dry ice sculpture

depends on what youre aiming at

when

backing up in reverse so many days

seconds

minutes

hours

time spent in an old logging camp

years wasted in fruitless retrieval

 

its been tackled now

the fearless writhing of my reckless sack of bones

the fibers tearing apart like a ghost projecting a soul

a stringy mess of plasma

 

days and days and years and years up out of this shamble

this poor excuse for a signal

duck shaped glyphs flickering on a radar screen

walking down the dusty grey broken pavement

back and forth to the neon green river

in and out towards the warm light of love undulating

my lunge for the final helpless fury

and then

we let go
