1.
svelte subdued tenacity, vibrant eloquent womb
precarious subliminal intimacy, depravity indulged innocence
you give me your hand, i give you cement
the new orchids of starving alligators;
mere repression attacking your nerves -- don't resist
whereever you go, i'll be drowning myself in bestial
sentimentality in hopes of
killing whatever (part of me that) keeps you alive.
spectral divinities of infirm'd saints,
give me the pantheon of celestial imbeciles
and pay me alimony give me your tithe
dream me up some more fucking wine.

wake up in the arms of the one you now hate
because you once loved;
think of the respiratory dandelions,
holding no grudges, showing no vanity.
where were you when the hunger set in
and dismemberment was the nationalistic scent
of fortified troops called "The Whallops"
as they fought the flower'd wars?
unhold;unwish;unrepent;
design a didactic gospel, veil'd in lubricity
in turpentine
in elastic motives
that leaves unfurnished skin to
[welcome those who come back.]
rest on your grandfather's laurel'd armchair,
thick with illusions.
can you hear the symphonic tenacity?
do you see the vibrancy with which i promise tomorrow?
