i saw you
longing,
longing to
find
man who’d
see you.

Smoke Ring Circus
a hopeful brand humility,
underused, long lost
and overdue,
a worship ceremony
for each wrong way
side street enemy,
and well, yeah
none of ’em
are you.
after all,
integrity worms its truth
all slippery thru
sedimental sludge-
straining veins
to part,
snakes writhe pipes
in collapsed tent
mind,
like panic spear’s
just split the
heart.

Goldelion
ma, melt us
bouillon gold,
til we gooey glow
outta body
mold
cross edges and
over ledges
under
funds and never trust
those trimming
hedges
bonsai, wept recovery
flecked by sun,
but pa, the banks
will come!
just let ’em,
son.

scatters
turmoil in white
trim,
stiff long before
bulb flashed,
a leer at hollow print
won’t unearth
sun,
past has still
passed.

feathers of fancy
the eye, a little shy?
shadow park
thank you,
for gutter car
parks,
and ghost kids
shimmering faint
to dark.
thank she who tickled me
lovely with a toss, her
hair was doves,
dealing blows
below the
cross.

pouring trees
slipped joints run lengths
from pouring tree,
lank and drippy, drooping
sorry sermons strain boughs
leaking bourbon
a sunken story
place to be,
just slippery sky and
flea parties.

fades in beige (an ode to william corgan)
when your life is lacking taint, it’s your job to get out the paint…
was the fall of Eve,
in frosted velvet cupcake sheets,
when twilight curiosities
wagged parlour fingers
in space, at me.
caught bloody palms, brain free
in gentler brush of
sweetheart’s tree
all slain, bold gashes
in beiges of backsplashes

breaking lucid bleak
on instagram as: grumpygorman
fuck this melting gelato smog-
and its mist skittish ,
soot shroud-
laying reclaim to lewd shape
lines by shifting, sneering
line,
reshuffling of the intimate
in focus, bold-brushing
swan grays to the side,
full spiral ahead
to verves of forfeit dead,
broke-winged things invading skies
in vermillions eyes
