Tangential Manifesto
 


Tangential discographies unite!
 

The face of safekeeping
boroughs, the laundry pledge
aquifers. Notwithstanding
the illusionary trudge, whistle stops
at all catacombs for crossing

Stunted infinitives
philander the beckoning garbage heap!

    (Asunder winds have blown
    below the oral. Catacombs
    desire for gothic flesh

Enameled platters fish planarian banners!

Demented orgone retention,
ergonomic comfort blanket,
the earth pedals viscid troopers

    nonchalant peripheries
    central

        to artichoked hearts!



 

 

 

Behind the Hunger Market


Trapezoidal tapestries
outhunger the few
now naked to the invisible eye

A terse geometry unfolds
its roster:

        numerical dissidents
        placards waving their placid dysease

Conundrum splatters
retroactive gradients grit slush
crested lapidary casualties smell the grotto

A crescent unfolds, iridescent
plumage bold as turquoise menthol

        emphatic tissue merchants
        squid collateral whitewash





 

 

Democracy in the Dark


Parthenon jitters
fringe the coop, a duplex
of complicity foretold

the henpecked foxes' coup/bedazzled

her three witches
    cauldron as net
       grossly speaking

                under full moon's
                mold of pentagram ids

    Coarse secrets reek, dead plumage
    ate the peacock's neck

The looming night hinge creaks
stealth/sneaks implicit reflexes
grooming cold gallows loops

                  for
                       her
                          betrayal
