life is hopelessly frayed

time is an electronic river/a derelict pattern/a luminal pulse/the accident of body/bang-bang alive/shimmering autonomous blue/poison of the dream house/glutted with genre/baby meat/bathed in sugar/the face is made of astonishingly long numbers

to be unwell is a symptom of living

the pixel hour/undressing a voice/sweet forgeries of shimmer history/slick effigies/rattled with red/a prayer heaved into the air/slick effigies/the progress of symmetry/a lusty rush/walking forward in the problematic garment of love

an embrace is the same in both directions

liturgical roses & the soft terror of information/a place of density and pleasure/a name exists forever/cottony silence/mystic drama of a trash moon/rid yourself of myth/poison of the dream house/protector of sick habits/not a parting but an ellipsis/numbers don’t keep anyone safe
