Call for Corn Awe
I wanted to make something drawn from bosom
You & I gemini'd,
From the wells extract'd virginity untouch'd
by compounds—
Forgot to send it out, forgot to hit send,
Hello, anyway, to perfluorocarbon philharmonica;
Excerpt kernel unspool'd from wicker-dust'd
basket of comatose bolts.
Treated to alchemies together by you.—
See: your recipe book dries off in ricin.
Federova in Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2?
You never listen'd to figure skater or
Tertiary form. The works of others piqued
In you nil, didn't merit any initial or
repeat listening. Agglutinative
stoichiometry perforating cold steel
stacks;
Attenuation, salve for keratinized eczema
In rash bloom ignorance, requires engine
Ego. Franny: flâneur are you ever not,
Rorschach metallurgy whorls, snowfall:
You draw the flesh with bloodless busted hands &
Tetanus blade; harmony's impossible.
Your compass knows only passerby when misery
May be by you increased. Tartar soul
Nucleotidality, unadorned rose, inkline crack
Collarbone transitive property: Hemlock
Dreams C++. We shared failure to manage
Being into a life ordering its living dead,
pit
Mine. Still, your bauxite soul below
Mine's bottom-most floor
Evades any operation of recovery or
Refinement. Croon of your mystic everyday,
Tributary whose water levels are skeletons
Of those who briefly met the castor bean oil
Bath you've drawn (supply & demand).
I want the all-night evenings we shared to
Have been a preview
After which we aborted. The mama of
you—That Kingdom a fantasy I'll never
Know & chimes windless night of
You & vast infinities—scion of necro-
perception.
But overfilled by dead enron relation of you.
Let Pacific bury you in blue, magnify
A thousand shades move barefoot, smolder.
Vermillion skyline churn, no bill it teases
Hourglass funnel web whose trophy case's
A trove of bodies, electrifying you. Here's
the megaphone
For a stadium of victims for whom you're
sorry-not-sorry,
Drowning out your pain with sentimentia &
The burial of any remaining joy left before
The victims succumbed from simple proximity
What, with that appetite for any calories
—husbands good calories once drain'd—
Even those who somehow made it this far
Together there in sacramental oak roses
Carved into confession chamber, situated
Adherence, permanent web & nest, hourglass
Red haze clouding widow's window night watch.
