IT COMES IN HEAT WAVES

i am letting you in / this is my out /

there is no more redundancy with you /

heavens / capillaries / sunsets / discos /

will you make me bloated again / like rain / or war /

the b-side to your touch / grin and caress / care more than less / 

if this is your dreaming / please solve my mystery /

and whisper / what comes after a fix /  

THEE GLORIFIED PEEP HOLES

he is so hung up on smells / that blood leaves no colour

he remembers his father as a fork / stuck on a tongue

when he bleeds / he is deaf

 

PRIVATE SCRUBS

*

soft scrub and no lotion / witches promise wreck the potion


*


robotic to the bottom of this kiss that we have shared now beyond invention / your eyes: leaf green /


*
take this poem / and butter your bread
take this poem / and reject its fallacy
be the one to believe / that it needs no other beginning /
than you / pouring your heart into it /
to fill every crack of its lacking and wanting / with a love which it itself cannot speak of /
let it begin with you / so that we, the vicarious writer of it / can step out of it /
and take in its beauty / as it (supposedly) unfolds /
and move into the other / the counter-zone / our judgment, our love /
you know, every poem breaks, like us, into pieces / in order to
seem momentarily less insignificant / this is called processing /
this is where we meet: / we are useless to you because we do not understand /
you are useless to us because we cannot make you understand / we draw counter measures /
pulp children / stretching out on not-yet playgrounds / to contemplate the importance
of futures / to make papa
cry / to make papa laugh / make his pulp bones cherish his pulp effort /
*

bones wishing to be numbered / as necklaces


*


have you ever felt so beside yourself that you became the person standing next to you / like a heart that is driven by fear will never know love etc / 

*

WHAT IS THAT PEOPLE THINK THEY KNOW THAT WE THINK WE KNOW

everything is beside you

all yes familiar constellations groaning with tired resentment

no one to really disappoint anymore

falling in love has become a habit

courtesy of craft beer and talk and talk and yes

and you and it all yes we know, don’t we, i know

and my love is dying

soon

i can only give you pieces of me, scraped off a mirror

with a tongue

must be a dead tongue

i applaud with no hands

in no forest, no seasons, just

bodies

resounding with customary cancer

i play fancy dress:

30 million renditions of Elvis

will leave you longing

what part of me can i still hand you

and have you surprised

must it be the very last (how can anyone know)

and if you accept

must we not still weep:

there goes history, inhabited by fools

and a ghoul

watching

they became mud and then waited through all the dinner parties of his youth until the mud formed a little spring and then a little brook and he let that brook form a river and would just swim down that river for a thousand units until he himself became bits of glass and sank and waited as glass for thousands more sparkling through it all and coming to life in the sun when the riverbed finally dried out there he was dug out with a fork and lifted into his own mouth he chewed and began anew and became tired and full / bus stops: the landscapes in him against which everything else will be measured / you did not have to fight he did it himself someone gave him a spoon and a fork he put them in his mouth and even before touching the tongue words came: steel blood halibut skin salt sea

no mouth he spoke with the expressions that had failed to leave his face lending his smile dignity impermeability something half-eternal something stoic even though it had never mentioned hunger before even when it had a body / the trees had not listened to his life yet they stand there and he is with them even if their sincerity is questioned with every fall / it had been easier to be a bird

distance between two objects in the sky measured with a shovel and a bucket / they all came to his confirmation he let them in the room and let them out again with every hospital visit wedding and wedding again birth baptism confirmation wedding funeral they agreed that it had been a worthwhile trip and wrote postcards to this effect in the following / every time he opened the gate and went into the house it was empty now they are perched on a fence pointing at worms now they row their leaking rowboats and fish for cod and pollock now they drink coffee in their cars at the mountain

he could draw him with his fingertips rolled him down and up again / pluto is once more a planet everyone gets a second childhood / chased down the streets in the cities he invented not to be chased down the streets of the cities already there he had to picture the schematics of the these cities not taking into account futures and pasts determined by people or by mongrel dogs inhabiting the streets with teeth and barks and drool and growls defending the bones of its master from the thief of memory and children with futures or pasts taking place somewhere towards the end of those streets or in the alleys but for an entity with no need for streets at all or rooms or homes someone with wings probably someone not troubled by the passage of time or worrying how to stay in it / the marching band in school had it all except pregnant mermaids playing oversized banjoes in glass jars naked / she finally kissed him and he imagined all the automatic doors in the hospital opening simultaneously at night and the breeze through all that fresh linen stacked in the hallway / he entered the night opened it up like a tent it was a night without nights it slept in him / who is shakespeare it is that guy with the pills you know whose eyes are free from longing / he played through Zelda III enough times so that he became Link which was preferable he catered to all the oneups he had been saving up in Super Mario Bros rather than finally owning his own copies of Gremlins and Commando /

YOU ARE TRYING TO HAVE MEMORIES

4.  religion in eivindvik

you can still see the mountain range if you focus. one jagged line of blackness against the dead night sky. one vast entity separated from the other, mountains from heavens, that in essence - when looked upon from a position on the ground - are made up of entirely the same matter. only the line is real. the electrocardiogram of perception. the sutured gap of reality. you would like to think that you are staring into this darkness, but - as you tackle a relatively grown woman in the midst of a psychotic breakdown to the ground, outside, some time before sunrise - you find it increasingly hard to suppress the notion that the darkness - indeed - is leering into you. even the newspapers, as your new acquaintance can confirm, are staring back at you. reading out headlines of events that have yet to pass. even belief is reduced to two intersecting sticks glued to someones door. just ask the priest. he knows. medicate? no, the doctor is somewhere up the fjord on his boat. what to do? pray. pray, my beloved, pray. so you pray. and your girlfriend at the time (who loved you more than anyone ever will, you know?), to the best of her praying abilities, barricades the bedroom door with a couch. god's own contingency against madness, at eight o clock in the morning. all priests asleep by then, and doctors too. and later denial from everyone involved. too much beer. it was simply too much beer. and you are nowhere, not asleep, not even dreaming. only the shiny chord that separated you from the other, that highlighted the darkness you could live with, lies there; thrown nonchalantly across the living room table, between empty beer cans and an unfinished game of trivial pursuit.  

FLIPPING BLA BLA LOVE THE REJECTS

1. cute to be stoned and still alive / bones crushing from within, and growing back because of outside references / i would love to belong there / in both / the creator and the created / maybe then there would be no fear / no humiliation, or forced upon gangbang monologues / i try to be there, but it is so fucking expensive / my creation is better left to you / you can hold love better than anyone i know / you can make love feel like betterment, not change / your bones are so real, and unafraid / they have never cowered and winced before nakedness / or conquered less than their sustenance / you come from hero material, not forged in the playgrounds of some flipped paradise / the burgers of hell, and all things hellish / the bus stops of our lives: your lust ran through it / mine was born and ended there, unfulfilled, disjointed, before moving to a better place / left me hanging, as it goes / can i call you? / can i find your name scratched among the names of my victors ? / your bones, the granite i speak to, can it answer? / will it? / are you who i think you are? / and have we already left together, in happiness / as it would be spoken? / 

AND TO OFF YOUR ROOMS

• human the cities are not / they crave and crave a spectacle far beyond us / (us) / no, they like to participate and mourn and moan / no, not like us / not like the dwellers left / soak a tired blanket off the grind / move / develop intelligent strategems / birthday party of the consortium as a whole / but never the beach / hands up for the gifted wicked / say, wholesale / say, talent / infuriating beyond belief / say, common / place / and placards for heinous crimes thought out during love / that we share / build on, have mutilated ideas ring true on / come wild on, and caress true love on, for / get worked up for / change and end for / set sail for / make love for / or make love make good for / the lost and grabbed / stabbed and well /

MANTIATTER

pink sugar tumbleweeds weighted down by rain

and lightning bolts too close for comfort

and still, your hand on my knee

as we watch the bumper cars under the crumpled tarpaulin

sleeping

together

WINDOWS LIKE POLICE HOSPITALITY

Mario Santiago Papasquiaro slipped inside a dead whale / found beauty there, painted it / head on is not an m, but toast / graves are dug with lawn mowers / paparazzis are lovers, courtship is still sinking / doom is getting hard / bodies come out of ice and television, flags stink on friday / you are not the first to believe, and that's what makes it so dumb / had to follow, take credit for porn shops, exercise brutality because of christmas / see; i am letting you in / this is my out

what comes after a fix? 

repair

make me bloated again / like rain, or war / sleep in antlers, typing away / to have you again / make the parrots deaf, you know / play me, the perpetual b-side to your touch /

EXCERPT FROM STUNNING BEAUTY PROPOSITION

(debasement he thinks)

getting rid of aristocrats, plumbers

third world cemeteries, stock rice

humiliating backlogs of diaries

documents of coronaries

canaries, and magpies, hives

all your alchemy

to make way

for sins posing as grace

as grace

no less than hamlet posing as play

kings as coke bottles, beauty as coke parties

coke beauty

ridiculous little brecht on the floor next to the aquarium behind the unwashed pajamas party

ridiculous the müllers with make-believe trousers and nightly retainers

teeth not evading skulls, skulls not evading sleep

sleep not evading the civilian need of coke

breakfasts returned to the goddess

centuries of insignificant toast

you add hooray

and move into the castle, a castle

with a humdrum of slaves you promised to never get involved with

crystal meth debacles as always, but never the workmanship

never the hassle per se, just the finitude

a dog’s breath drawn across your face

and still

i can be gone for you, no question

just say

just

say

say

the word

and promise

that you will never be like them, never like them never

can you still dream in sentences

murder one, or two

star dust

not complicated

not with wants

never complicated

never with wants

house

yours

cars

yours

drugs

yours

murder, well, complicated, but let’s give it a go

one festive bankier walks down the road

no

two festive bankiers walks down the road

better

feel ready?

now, kill them with something that scares you

choke one of them with an application for citizenship

drown the next one in future

easy (they are already gone)

it is easy

you have to get rid of yourself

get rid of yourself for good: kill the matter that made you you

worshipped at schools

desired at default parties

he was a nirvana boy / no he was a slayer boy

he kissed me

he loved me

i must leave you

i will leave you

for you i write vaults upon vaults

and see you break open at dawn
                                                              because snoring unto itself
will not expand you                                 because snoring unto itself
will not strengthen you beyond shame         or hold you
from holding back

selecting witnesses at mass

rate

before the judgment

light

chewing gum

smoking guns they say
