At the Rave with Your Artist Friends (1)

Sumerian fog suggests another sandslathered dawn
Your arms weak from an expenditure of pleasure to now unseen
Lensing for planets on which you might settle
With your straw husband, sparking
Hooked inside your arms through the hole left
By the miragic champion of obligatory squander
By the prima nocta of the veterinarian inside your kickdrum
By the kickdrum no living mind will ever flex to comprehend or love
Maybe go catch a rave in the district of columbia
Where the ankles of every mammal may
Roll across themselves in front of iridescent mirrors
And from a certain slant of light
The wings on either side of your
Boneglistening redemption might ride
but tonight? No,
    not tonight,

Runny Cup (1)

He won’t survive himself and neither will you
Flooded popfountain kidneys crumple like foetuses left in the rain
Everyone in the police station laps at cartoon hostage porn
Painterly visions assail me
Wherein perfect murders occur
And i don’t care how impossible they are
I’ll behead myself at the mall for their nourishment
I’ll behead myself at the loading docks
Venegeful stars alight above
Like winks of jannah’s dandruff
Like fruit set to fall in blistering traffic
Disrupted by ribbons of fentanyl’s collateral
This poem won’t survive and neither will you
On a hemisphere without reprieve from mildewed indignity
On occasion a dormant gladiator
Stretches his cowface gaunt
Swivels upright, snaps his bow
To let fly justice from the hridayam of earth’s axis
Through the liver of a deathless chameleon hewed to this planet like streptococcus pyogenes
Supreme priestess i thirst for you my whole being
Lusts after the levelling of every county building
And after the permanent displacement of illiterate cowards
