Prose social structure. Mythic patterns bubble think-tank’s drift glass nova
Molotov western streetscape. Selected letters recombinant of dross, brass copper.
Origins transfigured with fluid violence - a she/he extraordinary city told elliptically at a
distance.
The ballad of Mr lesser decayed, plays as she walks monuments. Shedding flame-lit smouldering outskirts. Glimpsed in the elder-men’s irises and bitten robes. Kissing each rigid lip to soft
ash.
Moss
Thumbful of summer. Smell cowling her thigh the scent of leaf; autumnal.
Astronauts, actresses come alive at knees soprano roar of jointed meat. Mouths merged margin. Beautiful strange crevice seeps trousers, moonlight filtering vinery prickles.
Grease curves in palms. Moth grass whispers gasping moon into her heat. Slipped in leaves wet mucous. Membrane piercing lisp of brush dappling a clear maple moon. Lozenge of light where shirt bellied his musty crushed damp moss.
God Worm
Apparitions flanking ruins
we all live brick; aluminium
construction-helmets
signs - unshaven men
streets hurried to near foetal squat, facades, lawns terraces locked and
bolted
a curb staggered gouged, injured image
shotguns pump!
pump!
evening sharp lights plaster knife wounds in alley demarcations, blemish rips mental branches clawing gun-metal sky; amber blood-laced clots trodden in charcoal, belching fire red ordinary consensus -
the death of ballpoint; uncanny - dreary in silences substitute -
cracked sky ribs in ribbons - corrugated walls - buildings - avenues in uniform
maggots decomposition memory seething rooms structure with skeletal music; reservation stuttered panting for her Father Sky
-the unquiet mind - chitter-chatter-chitter-chatter! rat-ta-tat-tat-ra-ta-tat-tat! - caged glass
and iron bars of god worm’s Braille nostrils.
Beyond

secret structures of future alien realms
sun dog eye-opener of Saturn musical outlaw - beat scene - he travels the space ways radio on,
candyfloss nebulas music drifting constellations, radar-like continents four hydra melodies, unorthodox bold multimedia sample looped Saracen jigsaw
utopian space-race-techno past - passive - contact special of space, inner/outer
