head cold, all ahead full

gallus gray, callous clay, heavy
lids, to turn the head &
water sloughs from the lips
of the glass. the opening. the
coming to.

confetti

breath twin will surface
fates assembling spiders

                   orbitual
navigating the head

crosshatching
             of air

grinned full of loose luck
fastens on the tawdry sparrow

corroborative

dark falls on slats of shades or open
gaps bound in limb
stretch the neck or head of back
peer are we followed? through vertebrae

aster.naught.not.knot

to carry an earth for a head, the ocean for a face

once the suit goes on, there's no power to take it off

this plug is for my heart. and this for my numbers

digital displays of the undoing, which is ungoing

a smear or a streak. a star. a snow. a field. a float.

there is a fumbling with the lock while holding the lilies.

a full weekend of work to do for having put it off all week and now saturday morning look what i am doing

"Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier." -- Colin Powell

you are made up blocks each
everything i always wrong.

you are not a fucking prophet you
can't say fuck in prophecies fucker.

the head will work to be body the
limbs will suck at organs my
blood is always hurriedly bored.

sign in the perpetual reel hope
dragged back at you circuit
of single twos of arms.

renew.reuse.recycle

commuting again w/ an animal
head: falcon, jackal, ibis what
word would balance scales & bring
the sun up w/out a fight? there are many
little strips of cloth for the embalmer
to apply along a lifetime. burial thru
confetti.

fatherhood, day 425

i am really getting that cat head in the ring.
man i am really taking charge! i am not just
groping or waving or putting the cat down
and the ring on it or ring down and cat on it.
i pinch and push in a single purposeful
swoop like i've done it before. man
i have not ever done it before! this
is a stuffed cat but a cat and
not so easy get into rings.
see me about it and
the secret.

next big self help

grinded grinning fatty beef sandwiches heaves
itself up on my back my head bowed to navel
balled up gummed foiled wrapper niched in
acoustic eddy of aftermath the class silent
means of committee approval met, not met,
combinatorial altruism of the random walk of
colloidal coffee molecules suspended silver
attention attenuated nutritional information
diet determined by writing everything eaten down

to clean

one hand to spin & one
to measure &
one

cut deep one
motion head to tail

the glassy eyes

shelf life

chance tumbles a-
head of time on acute
jags of cliff face

mark its history
as a glance off eagle
roost, chalk edging
or saddle-shaped
body-bag

distribution

tail-
end of
which lands
on the canyon floor a coin

lullaby

bitter pain, like a wind,
don't tell me you don't have
sickness, in yr bones,
yr time is yr head pressed
in glittering tunnel, stitches,
this acute moment to consider
one more last finger tap, tap,
pull yrself together little bat
descending canopy of qualia, cloud,
tell me again about the passage of
white, weather

mindfulness

prescribed conversion of pain
placement of diffusion in the
lobes of the racing towards an
end in lights and pinholes, the
servants of cartoon stars circum
navigating the head

beacon

beckon: was it to prevent
the rocks from rising &
eating you or to starve
you away from here
land is & our need
for declining contact &
becoming multicellular

"the head is to be used as an additional
antenna"

pills & water

the head grinding arc
pressure to maintain
smooth stones, the
green ache, a shaft
of pain, a window
a gut, a lark
agape
