Home From Where I Stumbled Backwards From It, Z to A.



Tired or dead? The blue light searing sunrise bird fed chorus

It's always alright
to be up this late at night
if you're just up to pee
but my fathers sleeping still,
The dogs head stays
fixed to the floor;
Tired or dead?
The blue light searing sunrise
bird fed chorus
pretty little pinprick drills
against my ear- stuffed
with yellow foam
keep morning bodies
from seeping in;
keeps my bed empty
my arms empty
my whole heart _____
[could burst some nights]
[out of love for you as follows: ]
failed collegiate aspiring drunks
crippled men on limping poles
for legs and statuary &*^^^^
don't move and they won't
see your illness, stay still,
shhhhhh, let the room
from sun, blue again
keep silent, your words
[reports from the aviary]
observations of the night class
seeping down to tapping fingers
open your mouth
and there'll be violence
I love you

I am always preaching violence
with every morning I witness
as sleep-trigger // Come on,
something's killing everyone
get it on paper, feel the pulse
deadening just for its revival
readying for its arrival
and solitude is no sadness
like crowded rooms of
solitary threesomes, quadsomes
quintsomes, sextoms, symptoms
like passing out matchbooks
and scratching off sulfur
on fingertips or what was once
a pristine oak finish catscratched
keyed like high school desktops
you'd imagine hearts and initials
rock and roll testimonial
how rock and roll is this?
[as follows:]
I gave up the idea of loud cursing
I'm destined with trials in my favor
if you favor the quiet boy
who even after gin can't scream
or whoop or cheer, staring
heart shaped in neon two stories up
The blue light searing sunrise
bird fed chorus
