…decibel
overture of night’s collapse into/ fleshed lest of rigour trace of one singular
edge sudden as if to grace what when/ mute tones of sarcophagus traces of
design’s lock of syllabus detritus cast/ what will obscure colourings eye’s
undone/ some given less than taken skinned lock-lapse walls wombs of lightless
suffocate nothing of from final sky unfelt/ (the) extinguish in grip of
shadowing/ a caress of teeth dragging pelt white-lock through viscous sands/
nocturnes scattered given to parasite where one wound burning colourless obscure
wrestles with silken tread/ it-bones what gathered from broke stone silences/
automaton steel echoing in kaleidoscopic hemorrhage stead will what as if to
say it will what/ =/ weight blind
echo of unfelt/ not a…/ nor (the) other than as if there were ever any/ winds
cascade into final lung/ shred of vocal light/ carrion atrophate sheltered by
skin/ ever of/ some steps into…
…cold
colours in coagulate of flesh echo-echo neither left find skull of dreaming-in sudden
as if to expire once spoken else/ shard of unlocked bulb of heart drenched in
shit offered up unto devour lack taste shadowing spitting out plumes of/ cracks
not no knuckles bled meat sways as of some orchid’s kiss unto winds we
laughter-long/ stun-collide/ hollow knock upon marble surface cleans away some
bloody trace/ cum dead lock-weight desire’s fruit (the) stench of rotting
silence uprooted/ (we-it)/ eye-lit/ echoing wounds spec-ial black lack end
pock-marked desire’s long circus parameter/ as all away to/ grains of shadow
caressing (the) broke bone sky-lit/ as all for as for of into from which till
no collides with one singular purpose given unto forgotten in instance/
knowledge putreformed/ putrefied/ veranda of cold mist/ (waves farewell to non-space
in given absent trace)…
…stairwell
descends/ rescinds/ expands eye in/ vulture kisses from blackened teeth
skinning apart (the) abattoir disgust of absurd trace collapse burning in mist
of final edge of razor light/ syringe taste upon dry tongue what world to a/ to
break/ a/ …/ not a forage nor a whisper collapsing into dawn effortlessly
divided (where words form prayers to)/ where words form prayers for
dissipation-disease fled unto/ what as if in it/ it/ fingers to cauterize (the)
bleak blood tide screaming silently/ shines some un-fled sun given from out of
taken distance tasted skull-depth acrid azure skinning (the) teeth of purpose
blind/ subterfuge of light/ spasm of some locked hold in/ see (the) white sheer
in mind it burns black what static else ever unto colourless appeal/ in a
suicide of retribute trimming (the) fat from meat most real dense viscous tar
no better than/ yet in/ and yet/ of or other than/ unspoken edge lack
severance…
…bones
roll out unto dis-ease closed shiv refrain/ ghost limb silences from some
beyond where nothing resides gnarled flesh din disclosure outwardly/ it-spoke
silenced from onset nowhere/ insert/ hyenic salve/ lung eye-die closed wound expel not a/
outro-spective collapse what will in cull of hours/ dead speeches for cracked
lights obscene given to expire cold weight/ it-eye/ shard of breath/
static-collision of as if what said ever-fading/ stretch wind broken lock/
stitches together where climb is naught/ onwardly burst wound lack exigency of
some sudden naught’s emptily/ given from taking from given take(n) of/ rolling
out dressage of final flourish subtle as if to expire what once calling out
into/ echo-echo dead/ in (the) black of/ rotting words cold colours dead till
dawn’s respoke/ breaking from given less
that was what of till ever-null/ shine a light/ translucent bones/ vibrate of/
crying out of…
…funereal
collision/ purpose of non-breath scarred division clear as light(less)/ eye
spat out regalia of tears dry sands eager to corrode where skin is absenteeism/
blood to wrestle in ever-blind-cold-striate/ stigmata machinery churn of
over-clot blood winds/ craven dusts expanding out through bloodless laughter
unto/ no force nor gestural/ bind-white/ there or other a sun forgotte/ skull
exposed/ blank din of occult whisperings nowhere possible from outset-onset/
(I-remembers the…)/ blank tones/ not a/ traceless senseless devour eye-clad in
fecal of redeem nothing more from given unto give/ collision funereal where now
as if to collapse stone walls no cylindrical promise/ translucent all as if
could ever/ fragrant nullity pissoir of dreaming pulse long sheared/ fragment
eye-dies is recollected re-born/ stammering allwhile through breath-stained
nothing’s claws throughout/ dragging out (the) pelt of sheared screams/ no
exist to offer…
…ashen
promise of detritus unsung drags from out of corpus flagellate desire for one
thing absent of/ unsung from traces wastage of design from out which collapse/
pulse dry rhythm not a trace from shadow-lock/ (bites off the head of a…)/
autosuggestion breakage nothing clad in
papyrus binds/ eye has nothing/ devours (the) frozen self no nothing more/
it-speak/ reek/ lapse-eye dead for endless tomorrows that it will not speak of/
never once/ spinal outcry some trace through the dark/ cares not for the jot/
(the)/………………………………………….nothing-nothing/ wilted wounds of tearing tears for a
ha’penny no will to exert as if to say that/ cold stone (the) winter wound/
reflex of undone where auto-breath cannot be held or other than/ a wound’s
laughter pisses upon where dank division collides with spasm entrail silences/
cold shoulder/ it waxes/ it wanes/ it cracks breaks asunder eye/ locked to
(the) char of night/ breathless out…
