intense intent

I am working on a unique headspace -- i have ideas that i want to share with the world. i am the beauty queen idealist of nightmare come to fuck your head up until you submit. each meme that i create will be passed on from now until the coming of eschaton.
or i am a magnet poetry, alphabet soup random motherfucker picking up signals with my fillings that are being transmitted from betelgeuse.
i write, i fight intellectually with myself and others, and i am up all night fuelled by caffeine.
i run this place with assistance from my wonderful wife wendy so if you have any questions, suggestions, or other random shit you want to throw my way -- have at it!

fuck a fakeass friendship in the arse
your lipsticks on the glass i think i'll pass
there's little surprise in your convenient lies
you can look someone in the eyes and tell them shit
but you think they lack the wit, the animal cunning

the sanctity of disregard



we wish to ignore you, passionately
to make you feel insecure and inferior
we wish to damage your interior
make it match your exterior
the slow descent into ugly
the flightless fight of the fallen
crawling on their bellies
under the scorn o…

in the time of you

every day understands itself in the light of you
those ocean hours between your sunset and sunrise
you were never a whisper, always a strong voice
you sweeten the dark of my coffee mouth
the ribbons of your smoky thoughts unwrapping
curling around to halo your head
the luxury of your hair, the expense of your skin
the delicacy of your perfect architecture

i was uncarved wood, an unmade bed
a self-made complication of a puzzle
a shadow looking for a li…

silver threads

shrines in lines, the contact points, stars
a net of quantum possibilities
the diamond dew of sex sweat glistening
the deep propensity of you: wet sex glistening
this is the manifesto for tomorrow
are you listening?
to borrow the electric momentum
the genius loci propulsion
the unfolding of silver webs from shoulders
capturing flight in a held dream
my fingers down your spine the seam
entranced in entrance, in dance, in rhythm
in bursting through t…

clocks or paper

talk of matching pairs doesn't touch
the point counterpoint heartbeats
barely reaches the intertwined spines
curled around a central line
an axis: this indexed finger pointing
through the centre of the circle eternal
the nocturnal diurnal permanence of shine
that golden day, that silver night
you planted yggdrasil in me
tied the ourobouros around my soul
like a cherry stalk twisted by a quiet tongue
you push at the skin of the universe
lifting us p…
