#1 (from ‘vapour tones’)
echoing out into a bled skyline carving the
attrition break long absent collide with nothing bartered for given expiration
of wound’s desire it sheer cold weight emptying out the skull of breath beneath
the once having spoken the colours expiring as of so much ever the blind silence
of the longshadow breaking broke broken none asking of the vocal as if all
speech denounced what was into the observe of solace nothing closes the eye
till filament dissolve what spun cold as it is dim yet of throughout some sharp
removal of bleeding it out unto turning from what dense recollect effortlessly
ever-spoken of what voice what as if what once was said forgotten in an
instance breathe of shrapnel tears were once where no nothing ever it in the till
tremor trace weight vapour tones & the absent of all redempt piercing of
the once what was in the become closure depth what surface of what sentience
vibrate through foreign static binds of electrical promise & the sunk
occluded echoing out as of vapour traces once more a pathway through till enters
into vague distance mercury throughout the longshadow having uttered vaguely
reaches to touch to taste still yet as once was lightless boundless as once(d)
what mattered here once then the beckoning forth till closure lights fallen
effortlessly clean break the bone revealed through the meat of din collision expiry
of no not once nor ever having been not known as if it were uttered through the
body vocal sudden as if to trace calling upon inversion stripping the lungs
from out of echo’s reach through cold chambers the words bankrupt as what were
once nothing coagulate where from what dense of given to expire still yet
biting upon the blade of excursion no longing for excise a foreign taste of the
what once known through it as if akin to having said where absent colours of the
breaking breath skied once(d) till absolute as onwardly it floweth till strike
a match the bloom to follow after where orchids once blossomed in an exercise
of cessation in solace naught redeems the cascade of it till collapse of given
to expiration broken soil dried blood & the turning of as if to say that it
once mattered as through what sung strung aloft through the vibrating disease
or retrograde where to taste is of the dead light what once it will return
bleak some solace headlong broken as if to redeem given to expel as if it
mattered not a trace the fade unto of out of the whereof cold shadow of the never
having been once said in the breaking throughout in silent solace din what
light till the bend in the eye that is the revelate as if it were as if to once
more where in a closure of eyelids the ambient seclusion one singular
circumference one singular in which to breathe drained of ever-expiration in
the fallen lightless through the fallen lightless voice garroted of its own
terse silent excursions where once was shredded blind chamber of endless lack
spits them out the shards of broken razors in din of dark the broken body vocal
trailing behind through the language of the stolen obsolete stripped as if it
were to ember is to recollect skin deep delving into which the furtherance of
what wind collapse drained of all things permanent other than the bled skyline
aloft shifting from azure to deep cadmium deep tidal nothing further to bear as
once no not once other than yet not once it was never thus fallen from what
grace that never was coiled around the centrifugal exigency abandoning lapse
& the warmth of the blood that never once(d) flow where seasoned terse
reclamation fallen of the misgiving of what of it all called ashore till bite
what dreaming of in next till aftermath where flesh is what of it it is what
flesh is what of it longing after beyond the dark into the black mortuary breathing
forth what syllabus cast off in singular what as if as it were the reverberation
of once more recounting its losses to the scum lights of density found to be
when sentient occasion found dragged throughout once echoing out through
silence permanence a cold chase specious demise some colours claimed through
speech-clad reclamation distanced from the without where vocal does not abound
it spoken for the only of & the speech of claim the rest said what with
what privilege of meat tearing away from vocal shimmering as once what was
where vapour tones speak the rhetoric of nothing ever shine a light the
birthing of what once oceanic ever-what closes the wound of it expires
throughout the silence of what to bear closes the final eyes of silence
forgotten merely to lapse into ever ever echo where night is yet ever ever long
cleft having been of the cloth to cut as of the flesh long shadow of desire
struck from blind to deft to mute all in an instanced breath spits the bitter seeds
of lightless dreams through the charred remains all spoken of as of yet never
ventured as once then throughout the sky closes over a cataract filming the
ocular delve inwardly disclosing nothing ever hence the climb beyond where as
if to utter struck voiceless in the collapse a foreign lapse the breathing of it
for all having the vibrate a drag of carcass tears in cinematic silence of the
burning of throughout in the desire for longing’s end as once was in it where
an unspeaking broken nullity of it peering out from the body broken until opening
unto violent corridors where once the never having been other than in exile’s
claim turning in upon unshadowed by lapse or other than the pure claim only of
is the pitch by which silence claims detrimental design that colours every
outset & every onset as of all having once said through mercury chase
approximate dereliction leaving it to the seek where further pestilence would
be sought to disclose the frozen eye lapse in lax repetitive all sudden as if
to exhale these foreign arenas lacking pulse or breathe were to sudden as what
once was through colours claimed bleak lightless attrition of dead tones what
climb to reach beyond sharp as in of in the what not of vocal in the dead
speech tones the body broken cull of the spoken limbs of breakage colours
plumage of some sickly animal’s abort where cold weight in defecate collides
with longing’s trace of the redempt vocal as what never once throughout nor of of
in other than in silence breathless taste of the absurdly sprung of drought and
light are the one becoming of thought through passage sentence all claimed from
the silence presence stripping away the bone exigency as if to say that echo
din a collision of meat in sarcophagus elixir cold it reeks through the division
night of the broken body vocal from point of forgotten passage where mark made
fall to utterance the slate wiped clear it oft to bleed where stone lights beckon
from the stun of never other than in-breathing close the wound of stitched
purpose lapse to the in of out returning to where colours collide in distant
sanded realms unknown indifference of the all sudden as if to where to be is to
disgorge cracked speech static of the said what distance never yet to follow
cannot other than nailed shut to surface tension severing the limb of escape of
escapade mirror’s reflect through mercury reduced to that rampage of the
shutter snapped down & the echoes paring away the obsolete to touch the
emptily unsung of paralysis gestures echoes of the irredeem where spacial light
breaks upon cold surface a scattering of rotting meat as of once what where as
words bite only as receding into darkness riddled with the rat of night where
pelt is once and once only sickness to dredge as all along it plays out through
some absenteeism of pulse bulb symbiosis between the long hours of the dead the
stripping of skin tearing from reach from sacrosanct obscure it will eye lapse
eye breaking upon shores of absent bodies whole the bitten and the unseen lock
in this or of in that not a trace of desire for the ongoing purpose of what dim
throughout in the light of absence smearing the ocular flesh the taint tint of
reckoning as if it were collision of the outpouring tearing once(d) light from
solace nothing of it to fall to sunderance as if to claim that once were shadows
in nothing of through paroxysm silenced as was once ever collapsed into thy dread
the breathless swell of silenteeism of the distance haven of which the swell of
reverberate breaking from what forth what forth until until forgotten
