another-go-round. we were enveloped in it; the flash of lights kept time with the music, swirled around all legs, twirling against the green. silent jockeys of painted mares, the wind at our backs and these valiant steeds galloped on gallantly as fingers twist into wooden tendrils carved into their necks. our veins tight, blood throbbing against the skin, the pithy pulsing red that courses...

fingers intertwined, zippered teeth, tumbled lock, key pressed to palms, silent. monger peddles brass rings; skeletons of former dwellings, abandoned. cobblestoned twilight above, uneven pavers arch against our feet. i should really stop writing about zipper teeth, but i like them a lot. okay. still not feeling very well. i hope to end napowrimo with a bang and not a whimper. i’ve been...

indicated. originates in my tailbone, an ache, as though having fallen recently, but not having fallen recently, the harbinger of something more nefarious. the next hour it shimmies shivers up my spine, splits at the base of my neck; slides down my arms, elbows, tying into knuckle joints, a game of uncle i never win. slips sandpaper into my throat, rasps, cheesegraters, etc. ladders up the...

perforated. pages of braille high school handouts train tickets. snake bites bowels and ulcers and eardrums and lungs junky veins. lsd blotters books of stamps drain pipes. watermelon flesh swiss cheese wingtips. i do not feel very well, so apologies if this seems half assed (it should). note to self in the future when all is not as it is now; this should be reworked as all things holey...

eyes carrying baggage over the weight limit from spring’s first pollen, last night’s dreams of eating ravioli in the room where i spent four years singing, never enough sleep, trying to see something better than this, but blind; half mooned, heavy lidded, and tired. today was really awful, and thusly today’s poem is also really awful. you’ll all live, i promise.

for four variations on thee theme. midnight. fingers turn, tighten; turn, untighten tuners. pick, pluck, strum strings until the chord resounds just right. if there were a night for instinct to fail, to forget how to breathe, this would be it. curved blade bent over your lap, trilled notes spilling happily through the air, swinging arm keeps perfect time philco predicta tilts face upwards,...
