Rose note in the genital area
snow fall has itself become sick
the coarsest demands
what is turning
in the wrong sky
tenderness to vanish closed
the scent of oleander, pink pepper
& tamarisks before fade-out
the Heart turned gradient
in your Don't Die Crewneck
negative values conspire
can be eventually eliminated
denied your sleep
between the Left & the Right
what wrecked chine torn lithium
through the street & into eternal gardens
but lay for me here,
your sweet-rising voice pining carmine
as if the dead would wait
in your room are peaks gently kissed
inwards its private world
so we become an insurgent cell of one
together & when love
is not unbroken or exiled
without eyes every small inurns
in the Kingdom of the Sick
New River Walk cultus medicine paste
trespassing reuptakes some things are free
through this alkaline garden
faery lands forlorn in place of doves
quiet breathe toured midnight
on the sickle of your neck
will have to choose
just how much unpleasantness
we wish to create or conserve
sweet to giddiness
the hyperthymic link,
or euthymic winking at the brim
travel to Switzerland to die & the dying
need not be sick
rostral shell photographs of lilies
with funeral sympathy bouquets
Alex Karp’s mothers collaged motifs
Named The Gentlest Asphyxiations,
& pain the type you feel
little insects all screws bolted
curled black lids
fading shells kidney shaped abscesses
bumps & the dead meant for Linz
The Working Class Goes to Heaven
in a sacro pod every four minutes
