BLOATED HORRORSHOW POPS

the day is brave

coming for me relentless again

when it knows
it knows

& the ports muffled crash-booms 
travel over the history marsh

giants playing jenga 
with containers again


~


we all live fast
we all die young

death just takes its time

delayed by our refusal
&
insistent bloated reminisces 


~


a dna accident trail
like a slug or snail

tethers me readable

back 
thru all the 
dodged signposts gateways

im searching for a mouse to kick

thoroughly frustrated with impermanence

SUGAR MOUNTAIN

    that
fiery blowhole spume 
unkowable & barbed
wired in denim tubes

beak-hole 
slug-trail
bottled milk
on the 
get home
dawn doorstep

    that
intradimensional
mad
light

    that 
    was
my sugar mountain

i can see it from here


~


    here-
jelly on a marrowbone stick
bully beef belly
under a check shirt tent

teenage residue
&
the 20s tidemark 
call for validation
call for recognition
grip slipping 
on the
middle age
bitter valley 
hillside

my sugar mountain-

    can
   see it
  from here


~


    here-
hyper reality slips in
on a backbrain shoehorn

echoes
round
the
normal
chambers

painting mundane hours
a different colour weird

    its 
stoned-eye overhang
of 3 AM underside 
drunk & glowing
in the face
of warning alarms

    well 
i woke up in the future

& my sugar mountain . . .

    i can 
    see it
   from here
