All day is questions:
At night, I speak.
Where am I from?
What am I doing?
No answer appears.
I arrive intoxicated
I leave sober
Who hears my voice?
Who watches through my eyes?
An endless confusion
Whomever left me here
Will be the one to retrieve me,
Or none at all
This endless unknowing
No forethought
outside of an explosion
No thought or words
Here is everything
with no means of grasping.
It's fine.
Lit by sunset and again at dawn
They say there's no future for us.
They're right.
It's fine.
There's no future for us.
There's no future.

The unease of comfort
Fear of safety
Of contentment
Of settling
Of chosen isolation
Craving the unknown
elusive high of anonymous bodies
fluid exchange
and ill-measured risk assessment
Eternal funeral
for who I once was
A ceaseless return
to Dionysian lusts
Placing tokens
on one's own eyes;
With this ring,
I thee do wed.

I don't need but
I want constantly
A black pit of yearning
Insatiable hole
Whore of Babylon
Greenpoint, Long Island
Collapsing new cities
The Piers
The stockade
Like a pig at a trough
I have led myself to gorge
Like a lamb to the slaughter
Id indulgence
I don't need but
I want constantly
A black pit of yearning
Insatiable hole
Bottomless pit

Eden on fire
Decaying Exile Tropic
Fragile purity
A youth written in rust
Gestation period
extends past biological viability
Calcified husks
and rancid tissues
The greater the lifespan
the greater the risk of predation
Snaking roots
truncated
Resource preservation
via material misappropriation
Imagine Cain
favored first blooded son
fulfills the promise of the weak
mewling underfoot
corruptible
as white marble
turns black with ash
seed smeared into paste
Cracks filled in
Filth caked on
Spittle on lips
Gaped and choked
Open’d from both ends
Sodomy as genocide
Every orgasm an abortion
on the tip of God's tongue
|

Bare flesh on flesh
Sentient receptacle
Trawling the world
for another catch
Spread open and defiled
A chosen ritual fetish
on an altar of steel and leather
Prostrate before a
degenerate congregation
Mute gesticulating choir
Smells of urine and semen and musk
All rise
All rise
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
|
||||
6. |

Observed desolation
The enjoyment of others’
Predatory employment
Sized up, dismissed
Fight or fuck
No quarter given to deserters
The beheaded king
Carcosian uncle
Hanky, yellow, right side
Place the human engine on trial
Civilization wrecks itself
You show me yours
I’ll show you mine
Written on the skin
Once bitten
Twice bruised
The measure of a faggot against a man:
I don’t know my limits
I have no shame left to give
My secrets have all died
No quarter given to deserters
