Jungle Fevers



pong grawls eif douanier
a little shelf pitched window
the nightwatchman rolls along
his soft wet feet like fox hair brushes
inundating the fog to about
four billion be sea
because she was tossing them out the door!
each child that came into the little attic
down at street level where the classes began
if Madrid for Goya was an empty frame
hung on a corner in the alley of fireflies
the douanier had fallen asleep these ears
hung in a thriftshop eeries theramin for violin
picasso still toasting our sweet football rascal
but turning the key at each station in the fog
perhaps it is the unities of bodies and themes
thems pong grawls windows
the american rag time band
black car
streetlight
pasture
tel
from all the faded purples
to the upright crumbling oranges
a nightwatch
a nightwatch
a transparent grey castle

the nous objekt's krypteia within the critical forests




Herder Herder
were only the graveyards
all herms
of gesticulating robots
the sun you
no smile my
stolen cattle rattle rooster
this Broch is no
Hermann this
instrument no bone
when eyecup the cubs
your buttocks painted
drained
upon the convex sides
odd alien bent chattels
eyes on your buttocks
your body rattle
blackfaced they hide
by the road
rattus rattus epebia
within an oaken
torso

to Posthumius Terentianus



in their silence a thieves' ergot hung 


between them and marked by the lonche 


of longinus stood in for the contraction


of a knot into diagonals and sword or spear 


sublimed it appeared wound up upon a pun 


transposing a riddle for a name whose 


sacrifice would suffice to render the buggered 


angel as a touch to invisible spaces aye a cry 


best laid in focus where inversions put the 


chorus surrogate in singular and complex 


order lo lie lay lea loo la leh but a hyphen 


or a hylephan cant breeds and a sphinx 


cant listens

Alfred Kreymborg's Advice from a Caterpillar upon Mushrooms



the sliver is perfectly transparent,
and our knowledge of it trans-apparent,
its existence being made known
by a cluster of inconsistent experiences
loosely titled pain which spread out
over the conundrum in a line
whose surety means conjecture,
and as its form is radical, or hyperinflected,
its aggregation spread wide so as to
propel its name up into the higher classes
of an endeavor, a granulation spreading
Ozymandian rubbings of rubbings, so too
is this lowly mechanical sibling also
radically constructed, its name leveraging
its path slowly, not as parasite or symbiote,
but as blind and accidental invader, purely
mechanistic and unmanufactured, and yet
wholly manufractured, for its consistencies
are cultural, and its birth, the dropping of a vessel
on concrete stairs where its body, its radical
poly-undulating-fulcrum-that-I-am-when-I-
enter-your-skin-so-that-when-you-walk-I-
tunnel-ever-deeper for no reason other than
the shape of my self or name; see then
the poet, an immaculate mechanical sliver
standing in for being, and being distending
to become that thing, but being not that
thing at all, but always that thing,
a transparent invader.

Riddle Hymn and Riddle Herm, For the Middle Way is Closing...


Les pantalons sont à venir 
pour les plantes tandis 
que les perles sont drapage 
de la noirceur alors 
que le témoin des marguerites 
se déplace tout vers 
un groupe de statues 
à l'ombre d'une déesse 
de fusion si brillante afin 
feuillus si complètement 
couler leurs pieds invisibles 
pour le verre transparent 
le torse de chevalier qui fumée 
avec de l'or pourrait 
dire son propre nom comme 
un paria de la valeur du harnais 
qui les clients adorent 
plus que les assiettes 
qu'ils détiennent 
et qui les détiennent 
respectivement. Il ya des bougies 
rouges diriger toute conscience 
de la célébration.


BABYLON!
BABYLON!
in Qumran we touch our cactus tusk selves in abandom
make way for the goddes(s) of hey
for the(y) come
from a snake-like PAN-KING..

the adobe' muskrat caterpillar is swiftly chewing
as it peers over the tickertape of usury
which is the grapevine
of our finest ages.

A drunkenness of things
is easily translated into every language
and yet still so
poorly understood.

The troll sings to the okra,
and the okra wages dodge
upon the yelling
care all night
knot's victim
chapter one
RANSOM

pun
as Kthontic
sacrifarce


bleak but positive
even smelling gasoline on the air
romances poison
its nile
of black rubber mummies
in memory's mommy sleep-pons

the red slide-rule
is wrapped in velvet
the pillars are shorn before the temple of the eye
and the great black cricket of petroleum
is NERO the blue
rendered in ambiguous
obsidian fiddles.

NO SIGNs is ESSO


This is my next painting.
In all innocence I captured its phrase
from the great river, along with all the old heads of gods,
their phone-numbers,
their silent paveries,
and trilent savories.

tell a faun to whisper.
to a faun to know.
tell a faun to prosper.
tell a faun to grow.

Imagine one massive red column,
Diogenes wearing the Marsyasian skin
of Oedipus, and Socrates' head
as a monstrous ocarina
of gold
filled with snakes
which vomit coins of frozen blood.

or flat saucer uniting blanknesses.


There is a little beauty,
and much beauty, Rodino,
your Pea-pong turns away in vinyl boredoms:

the Banderole of the David:

IOOOOOOOOOI


There is a chicken dancing atop the bulbous topiary,
and instead of a head
there is a little flagpole
and a flag
a black flag
blazoned
with a white sun.


Every image
is  a cape,
and every cape
a caper.


The eye of mind will witness
a checkered cleaving
near the pillar 
of leaving.

Its stain is lean
and hungry.


Be still my weary MOLERUNGAN
for my homunculus has become woolied..


In the seventh month of 1986
a snake moved out into the clearing,
and there it bared its white vulva
to the eternal forking
of the dreaming skies.


Who has called for red candle, here?

plauses in the pocession



(take hold of my paratext, greeting)
to board smear when how for foundaries take hold the prisoners all declaim 
how the douanier's ek-oilskin sheds a fogdog camera of milling silent drops
 or silhouette just crazing the cream may with rounded a forking corners the
grey folded fabricant whose tongue gilt ladders periscope along a blind alley
 of transparent hallucinating worms leaves a standing blunt for escarpments
 gone fishing for friendship's smooth jade kirin the body darker than the head
 and the whole form smoothed like a pipe handle from the kisses of acid dusk


(possession is confirmed by gravity)
an onyx symbol laid swaddling in fine grey linen
its constellation of hovering opaque lenses
performing roses upon the gateless gate
no plausibility exists to button


(as are ghosts)
hole this boot in ear
a fluted branch whose song
is a single silver leaf blade
which replaces the empty cage
whose spotlight of pseudopods
at once goes clowning


(within the careful layers of disorder)
ontology
you are solar fellation
which I blind
with my popcorn tiara forehead visor
the great chain of being
alas
is blonde



(the rubble of names sheltering a were-ness) 
Śūnyatāsaptati 
Vigrahavyāvartanī 
Vaidalyaprakaraṇa 
Vyavahārasiddhi 
Yuktiṣāṣṭika

(gravity wills a trojan horse decorum)
my dog is overflowing
and the svelt pert ballerina
is poised upon the rickets of balcony
the inner POE
whose forehead
sprouts
a delicate crosshair
of Amontillado


(a crazing notion whose vision)
episteam
your blurred machine
if cape you locoined
if capon
by distance
we sleep in transparent blue chicken heads
our skulls pushing silking threads through goblet snakes
hyphen to 
your bubble masts
and drug wax mast head cannons
paper drifting
into stilted cathedrals
of paper
to be rolled on styx


detects an exterior mapped upon our boundary


a yellowed fur
we enter or leave
making brisk symbolic motions
in praise of heat


but to average its penciple's pressing deed that
We dew not one


we sphere weeds
for anarchy


ontology
fellating
semiotics'
whole
at-onts


a bulge through the line
could be anything
even an impasse
which qualifies
quanta
as cant


Why is there no red hot iron statue of Prometheus
glowing in the night?


salad hovers
singing through these canals
made of rusty horse shoes
(star tyger and star aerial)


the great sentence
in all its plastic Fredness
pulling
sucking
saliva from a muscle
the CELTIC peeple
all wearing mohawk sponges


sometime in the past
newspapers
had made me crazy

X-OF


ilsbanf nasnii


a tea of lavender foam
for helmet
and salamanders
for ears


I get no good gravy
but notice
my grey linen suit remains
but all the onyx
is horses


PEGASUS
you
are the 18th century
for a contemporary
RUDABAYGA


a blue velvet mask
for an invisibble mahn


the terse hippies of germ any
brightly clad daisy
your nurse
to a tea kettle
(just drop it they said)


but I push OHN
thru
Gravid teases


looking above
my own Bertrand Deborn this way
for signs


Whose ROMANTIC DEVO?


whose Samurai suddenly
Philadelphia
in lace
stained with
resonating masks


this heavy mask
speaks only to children
whose black asides
are lost
in cherish mote


Ahh Germane is Germany
the HOLY a HYLE and a GULL


an Ophelian minstrel platter
sent to test the guests
their verve
for raising hands
and arms 
against it
(but who comes first?)


It is a brat
no worse for wear
but always
pushing
its grey jacket
to the gap


How is this ever okay, exactly?


There is no significance to anything,
nor lack of significance.

Water is travel
awaiting
your most elegant kiss.


read the words
and suffer the revolt


the journey will define itself
whose amorphous blue door
is the tranquill zebra
of effort


THE LEFT HAND PATH ENCODED FIRMLY
in the joy of motoring
and style


a little bird owned me


tugging too and frow
on a candle
of shadows


The Great Work
is the pause.


this is no child murder.


this is no nudity.


I move to conjoin
heaven and earth
with a drainpipe
of clearance sales
upon a temple
to
mild dew
(gravity is itself drawing, the poison in and out like breathing)


Why CANT you, UNDERSTAND


The thought is a room


and the instrument
all scattered
beyond it


this prayer
is a grey jacket
i find by feeling
in a dark room


a shadow
feeling for shadows
near an oily macrame' bulb swing
depicting mutant owls
whose feet
are green faucets

Alchemy
is
Kedds.
