Embrace this microlife of yours. Winter has finally lifted its embargo on verve and fun.
And the sun has freed us from our death circuits. Snapped like a motherboard over a
skinny knee. We’re out of our domiciled existence and mingling again. And what we
thought was just a phantom pregnancy has turned out to be all too real. Fragrances
long forgotten will burn the nostrils. A Jugendstil frau. A Jugendstil frau waves. A
Jugendstil frau waves her soft wand over this scene, and we are suddenly awash in
fragrance. “Historic rates of vaping” they are calling it, and it is just the first fiscal
quarter! “There is much to be learned from this data set. There is much to be gleaned
here.” One thing is for sure – domesticity is on the chopping block. Digital platforms
replete with echoes. A play performed to an empty house. Every step in the fade is
beautiful. The user testing is in. The personas taped to the wall flutter in the breeze.
Scores of misogynists are lined up beneath the cherry trees for the culling. All boner
pills & bone broth are priced to move. Finely calibrated machines have marked you as a
power user. JUUL pods litter the streets at dusk. Streaming is dreaming. We’ve finally
found our groove and the elation is real. Sundowning as a guiding framework. Bulbous
faces swim up from the gloom animated and spooked. Familiarity is a breeding tactic.
Suddenly we are awash in fragrance, and it all starts coming back to us. The open pit is
steaming with body heat. We lay phablets with the browser history of loved ones along
the rim. GhostBots™ haunt this place. Adjudicate yourself. You gotta love this microlife
of yours. Every step in the fade is beautiful.
2.
Let’s gush positive for a change. Take charge of this charm offensive and start glad-
handing with the best of them. The ballroom is filled with ballooning egos and sharp
teeth. From the window a line is forming beneath the fuchsia of the cherry trees.
Fragrances long forgotten will burn the nostrils. Petabytes of grief. The personas flutter
in the breeze. Several elderly statesmen in attendance. Blood boys in tow. IV-leashed.
They make the rounds. They get around. Glad-handing with the best of them. “Your
extrajudicial extradition has been expediated.” Dark patterns are forming against your
will. Your luck ambassador waves gleefully from across the room. He’s here to soften
your mind. A state of continuous productivity is desirable. “What an extraordinary
rendition,” they marvel. Champagne towers golden. “You might like to know that you’re
exempt from your extrajudicial extradition.” “Pardon, me?!” Champagne towers golden.
watermelon vape clouds Hors d’oeuvres make the rounds. Canapés. From the open
windows instructive bull-horning can be heard. Starlings screech at sundown. The
culling begins and the fragrance burns the nostrils. “Gotta come up with a suitable
ingestion framework.”

The furries are streaking again. The blvds are choked with dander. This is the choicest
of choice architecture. Mood disorders pegged to a wildly fluctuating index. They say,
honor killings are back on the menu – whether we like it or not. It pangs my pericardium
to hear this. The personas taped to the wall flutter in the breeze. The hard-pressed need
a win. Valid crash-outs will now be enshrined in the law. Glazin’ this soiree like a boss.
The air is agitated with influencers and bad actors. People slicking their hair back
looking to make a name for themselves. The air is cloudy, milky-white with lassitude
.Epic amounts of screen time. Streaming is dreaming. “Get your fursonas here! Fur-so-
NAs! Fur-so-NAs here!” Out here? Late at night? Exhausted citizens line up. Over by
the old castle wall. They take turns running, throwing themselves against the electric
fence. They do it over and over and over. in a circle now, clapping, chanting “Pop &
Lock! Pop & Lock!” Faces smashed up against the fence. Seared hexagons. My face is
falling. My face has fallen – I can’t get up. My face has fallen – I can’t look up.

Tomorrow’s False Memories
Dry Chaconne
the air was parched the earth in drought when you left me
thinking of Lorca the desire of the rain remembrance
of the earth the smooth earth when it rains has a scent
as you did when you came to me in splinters
a weight of longing a turning wheel straining the fibres
of your countenance blurred visions flecks of silvering light
the smallest gestures of your eyes arabesque, interlacing
rhythmic in the shimmering air shivers of electric blue
a tapestry of shadow layers of ice melting
the rain falling the desire of the rain a memory
of the earth in Lorca shards falling
splinters of rain the dry earth around me
our ritual gestures fragility of longing the suffering
of the rain in the chasms of your eyes an infinite waiting
for the simplest things infinite light infinite heat
a daze of deep yellow layers of ice melting
a tapestry of shadow the unsparing earth
the rain in Lorca the fibres of your eyes
all the fevers of the seas
as you wish

golden residues of day

The roadside is lined with old dead men, dessicated limbs splayed to the sky
and soil past their noses. Black clouds split open and spray 
themselves at the
world. Clots of bioluminescent gore bounce off the frozen mud.
These walls and windows come
and go, drifting out of sight
between long blinks. There are
morning where my ceiling is the
sky, singing with wind and the
ghost of an old train whistle,
desolate moan stretched along
Stains hiding in the fold where heaven is supposed to be.
The white dome bubbling off the bottom-front of my face like a blister ready to
puke itself into the open air. 
Bile that rolls across the ceiling and drips
off the 
top of the doorjamb. Sick light swims through the glisten. 
The waves lapping the shore erode the world, ocean spilling over the stems rooting
this place to the dirt.
Throbbing gray whole, wet and concave, lip bejeweled in a half-crescent of calcific
protrusions. A well of nothing, parturient with a small pink lump, goosefleshed
sinuous oyster. A tale distilled to its base, retching that whispers a cold window down
the empty hallway.
I fall, blind, uncapped, spilling over the walls, absorbed into the porous
labyrinth of hallways and boxes; a brick tower blooming upside down—a
stalactite on the sky—waves of grey reflected on the bottom of clouds—slow
red lightning that cracks the surface of the ocean like shattering glass.
Overhead is the choppy surface of the sea. The remnants of shipwrecks and
oil rigs paint the horizon like a hanged city skyline. Below, roiling grey clouds
and long rolls of thunder. Shadows that could be the backs of ancient 
leviathan that carved that great valley in the world and in time.
The moment loops in the porous mortar disintegrating between the bricks—boxes of different lives glued together—a scream upon deaf ears—radios playing in empty rooms—whispering a breeze of static electricity down the hallway.
The gun is in the drawer of my desk. The bubble of infection in the earth splits and wafts a blizzard of
sporous disease into the campsite. Noxious fumes stir the fire into a frenzy that scorches the detritus on
the ground. Bodies thrown together as the ground tilts—flesh melding on contact—a pile of thrashing
limbs and gnashing maws and rolling eyes—dissociated personalities—memories smashed to a
paste—mixed together—smeared across the underside of the forest canopy—catching
evaporation—raining grey mildew onto the red brick ruins.
*
The film grain captured in the still image wraps around me like a mesh of static electricity—picked apart by nervous nails snapping at my skin like pins and needles—
blood flowing home, passing heat to their tunnels—exploding from the iron ring at the end of the barrel—pale mollusks that splatter underfoot.
The forest will be shorn away. Nowhere left to hide but under the soil. Trees sent
down river, blanched like the heaped corpses of death camp victims
—algae flowing
along the rivers surface, shredded by currents—foaming white rapids—on the living
room floor vomiting—collecting bricks from the ruined building—slashing my wrists
in a bathtub—swallowing a fistful of Xanax.
We exist in footsteps. 
Shadows rippling like water. Colorless light caught in your
eyes. A storm brewing between stones. Hunting whispers in the mortar. Wet red
dripping from the fingers on your cross-brace.
Flakes of memory drift past the backs of my eyes. The world is born in pale gray light. Shadows bloom from 
the horizon. Candlelight quivering against the darkness like oil in water.
Your skin doesn’t fit right and there are too many teeth in your mouth.
Moving white specks like storm-blown snow swirl in the air over his head. He doesn’t
look up from the page that is filling with ink. Black lines bleed as they cross and wave
and fall over the paper. Flakes getting caught in his gore matted hair.
I’m still breathing in the 
spaces you can’t see.
the privatized body’s softest eye
scavenged, sparrow dangled by
the nerve, the chick’s maws open mewling
for new food, solar filter, through
the wing, the algae blooms from the eye
in the body’s center, that is the eye
the beak open, a skinless grape drains
white juice, garments luxuriate by
the water, the denim stained with black fluid
crusted, rivets rusting, the Space Jam t-shirt
growing moss & a weed protrudes thru the martian’s eye
the churning stream, the pinholes of light shot
from the belt buckle, run on, broken-in
leather, the trees surrounding the streambed
drained of sap, money, husk & beak-
shaped holes, wet bark plugged with semen
leaking semen, onto the nest, full of semen, tapped
for syrup over a fire, beyond the driveway’s meadow
flames dance around human bodies
in May, the native plywood bearing pagan text
layers that splinter, the body’s chest made
a goblet, made bread by a razorback, who split it open, having fallen in
/ / / / /
& digested it, the body
fertilizes poems, foments clouds shaped
like headless birds, teeth, baby hairs atop the feet
singed, when leaping fire, the stream-
bed where the body rotted, made into
earthly vein, fleshy vehicle of white
fish & spider eggs, water glowing from
runoff, like earth’s violin, from the riesling farm
the server hold, the stonewort absorbs minerals
& lawn clippings & regenerates as a carpet
in the burning body’s dugout skull
from the crystal socket, to the stream, from
the socket, to the stream, from
the space between nothing &
the pornographic cable splitting
history into scavenged wire, the VHS brain
inside the drone viewing a home video
of golden straw, little league, newborn
baby crying suckling a finger
the gleam of latex & disinfectant
in the hospital, hallway serotonin
consciousness emanating beneath
the door, of the birthing scene
the screaming partner drinking blue
Powerade eating Goldish or wallpaper
separating the bodies giving
birth, and paying money, and giving
birth, and paying money, and giving now the drone zeroes in
/ / / / / /
on the body splayed
w/ eggsac protruding, the gown bloomed
& flowered open into unidentifiable metal
implement entering flesh, to dig a strand
a pulsating rice-sized worm on a platter
the body mined, is a tungsten plug, is not
mine, is a made place of conflict
minerals evacuated of discernible
meaning, the drone monetizes the garden’s
medical history & treasured tomatoes
& ribbons of light when you’re
five years old & the stream of summer
goes on & on, forever, the frogs of pleasure
forever the blackberries, the Lego worm
the bonfire spitting out evening bled
from mechanized walls
from the drone’s motor, the drone skitters
the arboreal gap, the T-shaped
body, the drone whispers code
made by machines made from faraway
human words
/ / / / / / /
the drone motors, sees
absorbs flensing silhouettes, magic seeds
for pollen in pollen, for pollen
print heat, print cross-section of body
shocked into present language that
obeys, planetary circle, the body emitting
gas visible in thermal vision, to the drone
which records eye color & space between
eyelashes & the length of the gash from the collar-
bone to the ribs, morphs phenomena into images
into numerical data, into algorithms that deter-
mine probability of full eventual decomposition
to model a viable claim, per the subscription
plan, the bank, the speculative purchase
of ghost kitchen real estate with specters
leaking from windows
/ / / / / / / /
and as the body’s
exterior is absorbed its cosmic fluids
stew & release smells that translate
into musty sound, the body dreams of eating
an ice cream bar in a field in the sun
by the gas station, by the interstate
with spiritual sewage humming
& grass turns forest, reality molds
to spectral scale of moving time
the Rolling Rock bottle half-buried
in dirt, calcifying into sand
or loam, for slag of heaven or crystal heap
the circle dead, but still comes up
as clover, buttercup leaves, reflects
the body, is eaten, by skimmers
on the water, which keeps churning
having by accident, fallen in

Go, and bury slaughtered oxen,
bees will spring from the rotted corpse of them,
and wasps from the body of the horse
and on the banks of the Nile the ox would be buried upright,
so that the horns would protrude from the mud
and sometime after, when the horns would be severed
would find hordes and clustered swarms of them
the hives anointed with nard and myrrh
or with thyme or with white poplar
and the horns, and the bones, and the hair,
and nothing else left
when the fleet, casting anchor at Rhodes,
threw earthenware pots in the sea,
and as time went on, and mud formed around them,
