Living
beneath the murderous pressure
of time & corrosion
one is transfixed by glints
by a mirage
which fulminates diamonds
into a greenish albino blackness
which deflects the staggering
from Newtonian labour for bread
for earning ducats which burn
like illusional marionettes
miming a deadly archery to the veins
they sing falsely
like the intestinal coinage of time counters
who enunciate the rhetoric of worth
who tear the flame from one’s inches
by means of blank quotidian ire
daily
counting one’s head
like nervous leprosy wardens
lengthening
& shortening one’s cudgel
so as to replicate imbalance
attempting to ensnare the bell in one’s soul
by leaving the sun scrambled
by having the zodiac partially burned in one’s fractional houses
in response one becomes
fratricidal
hounding
tempestuous as a delta
with the ghosts of drowned cobras
one stores up insults
one takes on the face threatening neural volcanoes
one truly becomes severed
dreaming homicide by intransigence
by lightning burns
by flames from the black widows’ love nest
the struggles
the vices
the work
the absolute hatred for dominance & capital
nurturing the blood
from the rum of one’s woundings
lighting capsized tornadoes
with winged delusional edicts
pacing back & forth
like an explosion of dried cataracts
so that
the absent biology
the mirrors of rain & dust
erase
the terse mechanical dropsy of limits
& become the fierce axial exchanges
the murdered dove growers
who resurrect
a series of proto-ambulations
a movement of lime & melted vertigo
against horography
against Greco-Roman linear increases
yes
to take as one’s body eclectic meridional winds
to extract from unknown seas a bevy of Incan compass reports
so if one says
wave after wave of concentrated snow fish
or if one says
a tonnage of raw selenium malice
one suddenly takes on a dense resurrectional rubidium myopia
yes
it is because
the moon is always capable of meandering modes & mathematics
of creatureless blood stains
of shattered pre-Socratic dice & upheaval
which absolves the self
of time games
& blood zones
which hallucinate & transpose their burdens
to an oblique terrace
where human & angel human
take from each of their ciphers
crystals
crossing points
confusions
each of their maniacal murmurs on a sun boat
across voidless athanasias
sailing through
medial stellar rarefactions
so that each
of the bodies one possesses
will exercise its fabulous exercise pestles
its acrobatics of exile
its high collusional dialectics
rising
like the highest craters
amongst the 9 known planets
one then surmounts
the flaming strychnine concentrations
gambling away one’s salacious personal frauds
so that one floats by suspension
imbibing the force
of interminate comets & hail
