wolf (erasure)

The distance is illusory, certain, quiet.
It takes you secret, selfish, connecting.
Foolish nothing:  fools laugh of sugar and knowing.
Curel naivete, unfair knowing.
Embedded and phantom, balloon.
My younger self is illusory.
Look, dear, it is impossible to see.
Clumsily.
We sip cool water to do something.
To say nothing.
This latent heat in a gesture.
We are, presently, exhausted.

Virginia Woolf talks about love

throat [erasure]


I open, I want
to issue from my mouth
like a scent
memory to a nostril

I think, I build
silent mountains from air;
[draw] water from oceans
of [cellophane]

[facsimile]

I coat my throat
with honey, aching
with gravel and hurt

babbling [clay] proxy
homonculous:
[which language do you speak?
[do you speak to me]

rest, rest

[I shed, I cloud
[over gray overcast
[fishing for affection,
[frothing and aware]

gullet


coating my throat with honey
after shouting across the canyon
you find a small instance of gravel
in the viscous
in the fire
in the tooth you extract
with your bare knuckles
like mussels you open
sweet meat, organ
in broth you sop with a crust
and you wonder why
you, the magic babbling inventor
did not tie a tin can to a string
to my ear to my mouth to
stretch across the canyon
I shouted across the canyon
on a string

The Bull

Come at me.
Silly man in sequined trousers.
You stand over there, prance around, talk your complex words,
taking your uprightness, your bipedal bounce for convention, regarding it as superiority.

Come at me.
I'll be the king of your circle of dirt. Wave around your stupid cape.
I want to rip your ass to shreds do not discount me don't you dare.
I do not dare to eat you, for I am an herbivore, but I will stamp you to a mash with these hooves.
Fuck you.

Your friends are fags.
Come at me, coward!
Do you need to signal the path to my brain with little tusks?
Pull out your stupid little epee and brandish it with your prissy hand.
I'm tired but I'm not dead.

Your puntillero will get the last bits of me. I will breathe my curse into his face. He will dream of my gore tonight, and my meat will feed hungry men.
Hooray for your triumph over this beast. This is my last paseo.
Ole, motherfucker.
