Black Hole Air
zebra black 1947 (ny)
her bones
like splintered stone
scatter the blood of a darker self
"a high note at a low point"
eyes flicker red flames
nightmare's wine
beats the soul to the ground
in secret's place
where bodies are poems
"bodies of a puzzled lust"
Venus in furs
fractures chime and broken bell
" tell me how she hooked your mind"
staccato aphasia
trembles disrupted linearities
in a coffined mouth
as visions brim
by a mindless god's
elective horrors
in balconies of eternity
"let your hands be her hands"
vertigo falls through windows
black hole air
"the coat that covers paradise uncovers hell"
