Lost in a warm lush yielding pattern
The lunatic rhythms of fleshly desire

Lost in a warm lush yielding pattern
The lunatic rhythms of fleshly desire

A colloquy that has
Prolonged beyond
The limits of speech
An unmapped region
The first object in life
Close on like a panting foe
Or the flash that shows the
Finger on the trigger perhaps
Reframing that familiar patch of shore
Vivid and expressive communicable
Even from the other side

Pure and radiant rich strange things
These are deep waters
High serene timeless places
Halls and diamonds and ecstasies
Ancient lost gracious rites
Human faces divine
Ravishing fires of grace
Vision reality centers on
The discrete movement
Of her ponytail
All the way
Clear home

k
they called while i was at work. they left a minute and a half long voice mail of heavy breathing. the only thing he said was “hello” and “they’re trying to force us to send this video”…. very very creepy and weirded me out
Some say the billowing sails of a ship
Or the bright eyes of the beloved
Are the most beautiful sight in this world
But I hold it is a white Subaru Wagon
Parked and waiting to be peed upon
