from far beyond the catalog
of outward facing eyes
have you tried this heaven
on for size?
deliveries to the ancient gods
chilling tales siphoned from crimson fingers bring
invite the tearlet hydrangeas in blackwater morning
pilgrim verbed and possum-eyed upon the beady flesh
aches upon this figure draped in moonskin
the mystic sewn in lightning wands
yields powers too great to speak upon
it gleams across the emptiness
but drowns the sorrow and suffering
brings the venom to the bite
where zebras yaff and witches cry
each tremendousness too great to let the words pass by;
under veteran protest guard, blank canvases persecute
the artist for the crime they could commit
********** every noun of every subject
black succubus startled from eating the fetid meat
where robin hens reveal their sighs
inviting the trembling glitter to linger deep upon the doorstep
brief yet over simplified
explained under duress
alone the student begins to profess
