ACT 6 — WOLF EYES


Carving thru the air / leaving no trace
to follow / no ghost train speeding
thru the forest toward nowhere—

An orbit terrible & too strong to survive
w/out life support / A good jump scare


            ✩ ✩ ✩


Push the air
      narcotic—

         ---

Bend w/ the beat's
absence / ring
the cursed
horizon like
      a smile

         ---

The sequel of
life begs
a song from nothing


            ✩ ✩ ✩


Elusive runs the feeling

of riding in night's finest

saddle free to roam any

territory that sings to you





Rumble elegy for the dark saints
whose black angels crumble to dust
each morning

A cohesion in chaos / or its seeming

Seek out the seams & rip pull lacerate
the air w/ the quick of yr step
the howl of yr eyes seething thru
the penetrating dark

The beat like an invisible bullet
splitting apart to inflict greater damage

Not harm not disarm / taken aback
to a means w/out a way


✩ ✩


system failure in b major—

the collapsing now

swelling like an allergic

reaction / a shock requiring

a shot & a heart punch

& a water back / when

we come to in pieces

each stupid morning / gray

& thin on daylight / a reverse-

negative-darkness-greyscale-

dream-splatter / this is yr brain

matter on strong distortion


            ✩ ✩ ✩
