The Sheaves (written @ Espace Japon - Paris 1/17/06)
 
 
1)
the sheaves are small &
perfect bound
they fit tightly on the shelves
spines a spectrum of color
bound by their own logic
& stories
3 or 4 shades of blue
yellow to green
the orange that was re(a)d & white liv(r)es
black & grey of fallen houses
risen cesspools that flowed thru the belly of a dog
muddied belly
polluted by the policing of weak masters
bricked up smiles
hanging by thin wires
from the teeth of well disguised capitalists
why breathe?
why hold your breath
even for the instant of a turning leaf?
here spines become a color chart of history
points of discussion before they are cracked
here water sails away to another place
where the temperature is always
sweaty & crisp
2)
baby beater
sucklin @ ya wannabee da crackle bridge
a bird or 2 in flight
a misconcept
a thrope - back ta yer-in-all
spread water like a bark-a-boold @ derpstown
wingin language as only pro-active can
knocker dood
sibling's tongue
connective tissue's always con
necting something like only conn
ecting issues
can
3)
sore & bushy-eyed
wink the back space
ether is backset
back stage & set up / either crime's in /
or climson wrapped the toolshed
wannabe or wannadoo
walk into the pyramid
backward/draw back
smell the noceans as re-rights
jaggle aside the bacon's tongue
cramble 20 - zero to balance along the tracks
there's no use stayin til the ballad's finished
all en(d)gines strangle the wrangler
in the (b)end
yer horse is tied
& ready ta go this breedless distance
to the next broke tool
4)
things be always tinted
language's spoken here.
 

(S)tamp(on)
(Silva, Bauer, Turner @ Instances Chavires - Paris 1/27/06)
 
i/b.
i am stamped by your beauty
you are faun-taped
the blding is cold
all blding s here are
cold / not just the stone
but the very guts
a synthesis of instance & actuel being
the roads splinter & o pen/en (de)a(d) drimboolahas
repair
still almost all guys find the center
& it is ill-fixed
a tuck here
a nip there
sewn/sown
briggle-oo chioness
catcha wha ga loo brainsells /
kin hops rebuilding the world as a lake
a beard
a bower
a silver screen
a seescape by turner
one mouth speaking in the broil
ta ta ta dah dah
dah dah dah dah
ethereal sentiency
2. (perhaps)
i be stamped no pant out o' the mouth o' boiler makers
- instinct
all move their limbs by it limp lipped
a crossed line crossed
it is here even in the savage tremble
cold
so cold
these collapsing stairs
co-lapsing stares
sans light (i lit)
ah the lumiere's bootstrings z toned
agree please aching sound fingers rigored
elbows nala johannes on my…………….
nose bleed
be one whose pants are held by bottles.
af/ ter
turn the one whose lens is leffe - ah la blah
a glass for drinking pictures
a friend to quarrel with
momentum
if this room were a lake of mirrors i turn into from
cold collapse
heating up the rem/murd
he's heating up the clean head in short sleeeves
is beyond being stamped
easy as you blow your breath away
he makes faces
the one whose face
is a mirror of listening
whose hands remain thinking
more than acting
i am stamped by your beauty
as the world is stamped by
a gurgling
membrane
restored of memory
if indeed all were the setting sun
on a WIDE street
a square where mammals stamped
& even bones before them
held some fractured scores &
failings -
                                                  b4
                                                   .
addendum(s) :
                      rudiments gone while(d)
another ending
               writing as a way of listening.
