(VIOLENT AND COMFORTING TELEVISION SHOW)
coffee coffee granita coffee
cheeses hams soprano tony
tony mafia medley praying
unto pope ushering men more
killed slip gun slithering
pounding pressuring slicker seen
criminal pasta pizza sin sorbetto
pistachio’d oily mound e testicular
mouthful gnosis loyalty heroin
spittle e splatter terror slit or cut for
high prices keep his poetry red in bloodiest
days under son inferior force superior
superior lean in splinter knee caps
pain is knowing other numbing live
line below breast breath rises before televising
buried sunken corpse freedom flight or
money church baked inside daughters
sulking to be watched cream dream mascarpone
olive eating wet stripped fornicated
masturbation entertainment bloating
swimming drowning dead-weighting shackles
down to seabeds promised paid for sins confessed
time spent well prisoned pleas threatened nightly
drive driving blunder beaten father beats should
see some fool’s legend he scum kiss one-legged blessed bid
feeling power rise men who hunger which is
excitement of the stomach or the senses going
nowhere no shallow showers money uncorrupted only earnt
by blood
(LOST MAMMAL)
satyr satyr he shines slight
satyr simple plain shrill silver
shrill silver on the slight
he screened to see
shrill silver on the slight
when will he beg to sleep here
restoration sliver
ring collusion
satiation ruination
vocal fatalism
subtly paled knees
glance undone
he drove sleep to sad drives
his curl and sadly never
to seize it so many other
sadly he was so ready to curl
he didn’t slide fever drain
so every he always knew his
that 6 rounds of time
slurred or so forth he came
mermaid sunspot burnt host hovering
his curl sweetening its refrain o
banquet burial spaniel shattered
blinded end edge like any such creature
wild barks sad at the edge
(LAST MEAL)
baby baby she wraps sly
babies lilac lane swan fever
swan fever on the sly
she started to see
swan fever on the sly
she’s got a third eye
in her middle ear
insurrection silence
song illusion
radiation rumination
focal escapism
feeble frailties
enhance succumb
she saw sun to bad thrive
maimed but she hardly ever
squeezed it in ever else
she was so nearly ready
she didn‘t slide fever drain
so maybe she always saw this
that 3 swills of wine
slurred and so forth she went
creature sapphire marmelade slumbering
sustain sweetening it parrot o no
party burial swan song crucified
vision’s edge end how will the empire
sputter at the end
