cracking ugly smiles in to the pan
beside a wall of sand pour the sea
sides were never much of a delicacy
envy will green your thumbs and rose
the webbing between your legs
cut down cut down cut up cut back
stack the torches fifteen tall in a ring
fight the urges to extinguish burn
burn burn earn more, earn earn learn
to be sterile placid vacuous
divert this piece of lipoid brain matter
less hair hominid ape drag that nasty
skeleton queue up the band in the chi
of A minor anything these clues are worn
and polished what will they unlock?
darts darts in the dark dark arts.
beautiful faces with ugly hearts
on camel cable yokes they float.
croak croak croak croak make note
these are the last notes on the page
the last to be transcribed, a fragment
confided in me what she would be
and I tried but the attempt stalled
last fall, she was a healer but I revealed her
and emptied out my arteries on to the page
the symphony that would never be.
Why not end the composition now?
this chasm will never end, but endless swallow
eat you forever, i was alone but left
and became even less, bloody ugly stones
