xxy, again, on week 2 of the 2011-2012 nfl season

Like blood splatter
__an expensive pattern
__on paddle eternal, invisible grain

Whack
Whomp
Her voice looms against the pounding
__train, deafening wifi connection
__four bars of uninterrupted violence

Plunk
Pop
Carve the rolling sky, quick cocaine clouds
__from the teeth of the vibrating afternoon
__like too tight strings
__of a violin

Then she is gone, voice vanishing
despite intentions worse
for imagination,

The symphony tunes, unaffected
Oaken oar washed, rehooked on the museum wall.

Structural Integrity

Dirt & Blood     You're cold now, You're

exploding through victimized & You're family

past ears, down in will be contracted, can

the furrow // I won't the general muster

open my eyes. Commit his courage. Eyes tight

this sin to memory, where Teeth pulled skinned

is the foil, bitter the vicious the flat paint. I

stories of depression, plain victimize myself

exploration of soul there I'll drop, I'll coin,

free of sponsorship, your burgeon the point &

parents' pot. This fall rain. Imagine scenarios 

Down in the Dirt. Your victims win friends, cut

apart, not pained, not pinned. in the soiled air.
