Clerk of mind heliodor eyes 

rosewood vitrine machines objects  

the discourse of unbelief

& freedoms unfreedom 

verfremdungseffekt 

& who knows not how to hide, 

knows not how to love

epiphany in the sculpture park 

roaming lossless

& the gargoyles hushed back

to giving

The Martini bar dehiscence

innermost core vergangenheit 

with sedition a weak voice breaks  

even my professional cv 

changes quite markedly depending 

on who I think is going 

to be reading it, 

openings the sinking feeling 

& the survival of rituals 

into the present day 

Ur-Orgies time to put your neck 

on the line in whatever way 

you can verbena flowers 

secundines just do it.

12 steps & stars over my head

to be pardoned for Falsche Freundes 

welfare room of no hope 

discredited even credit

walk into Apollonian gardens 

sometimes the shadow 

of our own throats vox clamantis 

worthy of being lived 

like gavelkinds to be flowers

Reducing me to silent creaks

omens for your protections

its slue covered sick inflammations 

platelets corpuscles to 

white itching 

tipped with skin 

of you matter or light or 

emerging pain infusing 

geno-song catheters 

atmospheric holding your 

illness perfect still perfect 

leaving the body in blood & silence

Esoteric Hitlerisms the lyric 

in them the same incapacity 

in Therapeutic eurythmy 

inwardly I pray with a fluted end

root & leaf acid pleat Goldilocks 

bone to bone inside hemlocks penumbra 

night’s wraith hunched speech 

world level floor haemoglobin 

pale transmissions the biological 

enemy delineated psychic  

architectonics of the hive

where images die so

sing hosanna, sing hosanna,

sing hosanna to the King of kings!

sing hosanna, sing hosanna,

sing hosanna to the King!

You’re told & you believe

for you are sick

centuries of anger panopticons 

for yourself into Super-Masochist 

tying or wrapping touch 

this stock with speculum brand

easy listening every musical/lyrical boundary

in the history of recorded sound 

has been breached

every sacred cow upturned

the last great biopsy of the sky?
