How to Eat an Apple
How to Eat an Apple
It’s a sin to eat an apple with a knife
To cut and carve the seeds womb
Like an autopsy on your mother
Nursed by floods and fire
Her life was not choreographed by logic
And her death should be climatic
Dig in with your whole mouth, let the chipped and rounded
Curves of your teeth pierce her flesh honestly
Wet rivers of juice falling from your chin
By the dancing movement of your jaws
Her succulent translation of the sun’s heart
Now becomes your life bloods elixir
Honor her with your attention, ...

Creation
Before Euclid bent the
Harmony of hurricanes
Into parabolic curves
And Aristotle sculpted prisons
Of words to house the stars a
Nameless woman screaming and
Bleeding gave birth to the
Crying cosmos and called it
Beautiful.

midnight is my whiskey
midnight is my whiskey
your eyes are my midnight
i take ten shots a night and write
i want my words to burn in your mouth
catch your heart on fire
your clothes to spontaneously combust
i don't want the better you
who you want to be
who they think you are
just you - as is
no warranties
no returns
this white page
is it you
the blindingly light of god
do these geometries of ink
mean nothing
everything
my mind at once at the edge
of the universe becoming
and the unraveling...

while mother sleeps
our fathers say
the earth is dirty
a bloody whore
kill her clean
with clorox
while mother sleeps
our fathers say
the earth is wild
a mad red wolf
keep us safe
with bullets
while mother sleeps
our fathers chop
and cut their fur
and carve their
pale smooth faces
in mothers chest
with knives and bombs
while mother sleeps
we forget her names
fire-in-the-dark wolf-woman
woods-woman dancer-on-the-grave
bleeding moon and...

war exorcism
i am a heavy elemental proton implosion,
blue star, new star, black-hole mama
a galaxy galloping phosphorescence
hades bent for helos, all hail my hydrogen holy grail;
voluptuous and volcanic, searing and full of flare,
aching with photonic velocity.
i am visioned fury and dark harmony,
bow now or rise and flee with
fatalism before my mighty mantras
for the optic nerve of Ra prophecies your
philanthropic murder and malicious generosity;
offspring offered on the alter of obedience.
i am quenching roots unending,
an oil...

wisdom
born of Earth
black-widow dark-cave
deep-water fire-belly
father eater son feeder
mother eater daughter teacher
born of Sun
white-wolf sky-tree
milk-blood sun-tear
flesh burner seed flinger
bone bleacher green singer
proclaims,
to eat the word, wind, and water
to feed mind-body, the flesh with fire
to feel rock and rain with hands
to suck deep on roots with hands and feet - to eat
to give the caress of the feather
to the coarse,...

Neurosurgery Nightmare #1
23% of Brahmans substantiate the…
nexus of plexus and
the twelve days of Christmas
and the thousand and three steps it takes
from pre-uterine Kalamazoo to geriatric Hullabaloo from
DNA Dolly to three-headed Brouhaha
where whippoorwills of blind howl
barbecue Columbus’s corpse at Arawak picnics
with crumpets and tea bones connected to the arm
yourself against Solomon’s syringe piranhas
shooting Mr. Franklin in the veins, leering jet
setters sewing mahogany coats with tiger bone
cufflinks for RockandRollafeller and Jill came ...
