DEATH YAWN REPLACEMENTS

after

someone

is 

done & over & finished
& cooked to dust & smoke
rising thin
from a faux totemic chimney
concrete tall

there is space made

like an empty yawn

for another

wet sacks

plastic kipple

to live & leak

&
frame their pictures
their

IDIOT MOON REDUX

full moon 
massive & unreal
conquers all the night

owns

our

whole

looking right in right at me

she
looks
like

neighbours hatchbacks are all silver

hedges are all black

one shining cat is frozen still

~

i am unsleeping

full of wine

nothing

to

do

but stare 
up deep 
into the exiled white eye

sick with loneliness & age

trying

to

decode

its asking question
its obvious sentence
&
its silent might

OFF SWITCH ? REDUX

 you know 

 when you 

 cant move 

 cant move 

 cant move 

 cant get up 

 why should you ? 

 & the alarm 

 is being 

 such a cunt 

 but you do 

 its a common miracle 

 & it stays with you 

 that lead in the bones 

 that fug in the brainpan 

 all morning 

 all day 

 & when you do make it back 

 into 

 the 

 soft wonder thread count 

 its not the same 

 & you cant rest 

 cant rest 

 cant rest 

 fuzzy to-do list 

 taped 

 to your optic nerve 

 you twist there 

 a reject pretzel 

 wondering 

 if there 

 is maybe 

 an off switch 

 deep inside 

 your 

 colonic confines

to violate parole

& claim different

as

you

dress
