Dark matter, this
All fumble and handed
Strange charmer you
Are (will be (already)
You
You
Fall toward midnight
Depths pulling darkly
Strong our way curving
There, warmer than the
Math said dizzy (x) we
Expon’t upon these
Intensity pulsings
Here, these (x)yzz-vectors
Beginning to tremble we
Flip
Right through the bottle
Left you silkspinning
Still.
So stellar, this
Like an ear or a seashell
-
Stippling hives braille breathlessly
Bloody jam and sticky sense of
Diff’rence pitters past manifold
Shimmering sweet for all that
Feel its weightless worth in bold.
Knittering knots fail needlessly
Small sutra sutures given wing
For egress statements manifest
Smoothing slow vast digital
Velvet vistas far from rest.

wiry,

remix quick the triple dip clipped gaze
snip snip grays to scaled grid layer haze,
moiré maze, fresh hip skills for days
and check that techniqued fractal glaze
just sideways, skinned end of days
and the dermal siloed
sigh bin plays
(sigh)
see, i sense a snake
wiry and lithe
unraveling at every
limb
and shedding flesh frequency
saw, that misdetect is on the scene
investigate this!
graceful throwback
seeing wiry and with
xtra xtra you can read all about it!
on the random access
xray-memories
and tell wireless

parsimoniously
i spent a whole day reading
your words, blankly
heartly
infinitely in a time when every
syllable is measured so
parsimoniously
i spent a whole day writing
i spent a whole day speaking
my words, inkly
our words, barely
heartly
hardly
bleeding away to another skin or
surreal gesture or proximate longing
blanket, blankly
inevitably, heartly
ceremoniously

siamese
feline free phantasy
pay the fee, line
of fey, line of flight
freeline reciprocity
pushes elasticity
to the thin fright
of our street twin smile
conspiracy,
sleek twinning style

phantom Txt tremor,
notonomously
and the ghosts of Rex
say ta-boo
tremolo centre stage (left)
reduced to the emptiness
of our heel-toe gesture.
why do we feel
~
like we’ve seen this all before?
a pack of ravens is called
an unkindness
and i recall dickinsonian
as we pounced an unkind tomorrow.

pulling apple-cheeks to

90-degrees from
ascii style
grim turns grin
to curl the breeze and
open the bright blue skies
sing away
bingo hall blue haze
and bluing gaze
purple haze is in
my brain
(waving)
to a slow jimi limbo. strung
upside down, bluesy.
violetry and poetics
hand in hand
secret weaving and braiding
and waiting and wading
and fading, it blew away
in the blink of
a 90-second while

i hardt you
as a political concept
a politics of joy concept
an it doesn’t mean you Likes this concept
but think about the politics of touch concept
like with punctuation
in three openings we find
less than three openings
and infinite potentials
for ollies and LOLing
so capital-P stick
your tongue out at me
a Rudolph moment of sunlight
and talking,
solar electricity.
