avantacular press

1 lakeview acres

rushville, il 62681

and below is an excerpt from the work:

Dead minute de-roots dead hour, dead word undoes dead language.

My rust-colored tongue digs for wood to ignite a species hymn.

We sink into 25,000 whispers.

Walking 10,000 fathoms under sea.

I found my face in the mortuary; I climbed out of

My mouth onto crackling insect wings. All around me air burst.

To the west, crawling on all fours, I begin

Coming closer to percolation; some alembic tears me south.

I was still the same facsimile the day they brought me home

In someone else's skin. When I smiled my teeth glowed halo bright.
