SAFER THAN TREPANNING

in the heave & low-fro 

of the slow-sick fug-fog
my brain does whine 

its white noise moan

skull boxes it 

it is muddy

i cant even wail

~

i go live in my belly

its simpler 

more animal

roomier 

safer than diy youtube trepanning

IN RETROSPECT IT LOOKED LIKE THE DONNIE DARKO RABBIT

way over the other side
of 
the
townside
dogwalk
forest

me & him
adventuring almost
in the
sumptuous gnatty green

my knife 
a better one
than his

& 
under a 
vim-scorch 
bleach sun

we found a skull

~

wedged in branches
the wrong way round

like a warning
like a trophy
like evidence

upper mandible 
pointing skyward

looks like horns with teeth

felt real fear
hot oil guts

warm 
daylight 
leafshine
was never so 
bone marrow cold

after school
198?

~

was prob a sheeps

tailored
&
manipulated

he prob put it there

tailoring
&
manipulating

cos my knife
was a better one
than his ?

him or his mad brother

one of them

pair of forest-scout cunts

COMMON MASKS / REAL CLOWNS

old womans Dorian Grey picture 
has
climbed
out
the
attic
to
paint 
yesteryears youth-glam face trowel-thick
with
shaking hands / myopia / golden delusion memory  
on
top
of
todays collapsed dishcloth skull

no
one
will
recognise her plain naked
in
her
hospital 
last 
days
