on your side
undisturbed
from your mouth i await the word

to decide
who comes first
in the gut to expect the worst

in the streets to be sung
like the horse to be hung
from the rafter

undershot in my guess
hit the hip miss the breast
what disaster

on your belly all red
i won’t say it he said
until i fetch the guts i left behind

silver fork
gently perched
in the cold to undo my shirt

golden gate
by doves girt
in heat to assess your worth

on the ground on cold knees
to discover the seed
and to dig it so deep

unbeknownst to your keep
having slaughtered the sheep
to in secrecy weep

on your belly all red
i won’t say it he said
until i fetch the guts i left behind

on your belly all red
it won’t budge he defends
in circle spun the hogtie rings divine

on your belly all red
its not fair he dissents
too shrill you cry, with silver pins a smile

on the ground on cold knees
to discover the seed
and to dig it so deep

unbeknownst to your keep
having slaughtered the sheep
to in secrecy weep

on your belly all red
i won’t say it he said
until i fetch the guts i left behind

on your belly all red
its not fair he dissents
too shrill you cry, with silver pins a smile

Heave Offering

On Your Belly

the light, it seemed so pure
but can you really be so sure
those nights, all now a blur
'cause i've been tainted by the cure

the light was warm but fleeting
and i can feel my heart still beating
your eyes do tend to haunt
but is this really what you want?

one more time, just hold my hand
flap our wings before we land
i dreamt of you out in the sand
but i'm just fine, i'll skip the tan

i know we're crashing awfully soon
but hold me tight until we do
one to one, birds of a feather
let's let these flames go out together

Purity II

through the mirror, past the ring
do you see me? does it sting?

i still hear you in the sea
tidal visions, hearts unseen

* * *

hold the anchor, test the winds
bless the waters, bless our skin

maybe this time we can swim
water's warmer once you're in

i'll be land, you be mine
if you're sinking, i can dive

who needs air? who needs time?
with your heartbeat next to mine

* * *

and i'm sorry, anyways

the god of love won't hold you up, just fate

Joye

what is this knot inside my throat?
tell me, how quick in bloom does the wilt take on?

and i know i have all that i need so what is this want?
my lungs will hardly breathe but this heart won't stop
and it's hardly afternoon and i'm tired of the sun
when you're always 2 how are you gonna find the one?

Long Below

Tired Of The Sun

just to be aligned up sine to sine
just past my reach on a dotted line
how i wanted ooo to be taken and haunted

to see what its like to sleep inside
from the street where the lights go off at night
were u callin ooo with my phone not even on yet

just call again if ur wantin
(can you call again if ur wantin)

* * *

see a set of dark eyes just behind your shoulder
get ripe with age or just get older
see the set of signs wardin off the thunder
is the sky a liar cuz im startin to wonder

Orange Grove

Sine

encast in my sight
enladen in light
with a soft supple spine

passed from warm guts
in a labour of love
now ill hold you above

though under you grew 
beholden to blue
when im not around you

* * *
through the pesticide
from the cloud arises a silver line
(soft hands reach above)

to ingest the nile
to imbibe in bile
to be set on fire
(afloat in my love)


ill cast you a mold
for when you get cold
in well wishes told

ill weave you in silk
concoct you my milk
and swallow your guilt

Anemone

hes certainly the son
in pearly glue shes hung
in dark her shift undone
its fixed

to thus be thine
with turpentine
myrrh spoiled in wine
to thus be thine

Baltazar

full to burst in shakes it hums 
a pin to the skin that holds my face

limo hearse with the bones in the sun
bubbly to rain on my procession

with sickly quakes collapse into time
slid past the veil that holds my face

in the depths of my purse lies the key to my heart
in golden lock kept my possession

* * *

silver fish in the beaten sun
twixt the page i missed in my patience rushed

blind eclipse of a beaten heart
in a tattered slip on the river flushed

swollen lips just to hide the tongue
sore in the hips in the pleasures lull

two left fists on the table rung
one more rift on the wounded guf

* * *

to have and to hold it over you

Isis

Dew Claw

pluck the wens and boil them dry
a bitter dust to taste 
slice the mend so the humours fly
a sweetly hung display
cross the heart and pierce the eye
a bright lit candle still
shuck the shell and cast aside
yours two bloody lips fulfilled

on hunched backs in dark of night escape
scraped the tongue of molted wax to coat the armours male
above the gap the two as none below the sunken sails
in desperate lunge he struck it down and in my hands it laid

the whitest gloves to present yours
with tightened cork i resent mine
pure of heart to collapse forth
in sickly wealth to elapse thine

Let My Love Lie On Your Life Like A Tombstone

Oysters

in a darting eye
from the silence to croak
of missing toes to hold

from the flood aside
on a plastic bag broke
an olive pit stripped to bone
and were both alone

if once the sky coughed a dove
to cast in light sweetest love
could i at least hold my pigeon

if wings of white bore the arc 
in hollow bones tombed the heart
could i at least hold my pigeon

in a darting eye
from the silence to croak
of missing toes to hold

from the flood aside
on a plastic bag broke
an olive pit stripped to bone
and were both alone

if you and i both begun
beneath the sky of but one son
could i at least hold my pigeon

if wings of white bore the arc 
in hollow bones tombed the heart
could i at least hold my pigeon

Pigeon

we love to see you fall
but not so desperately
behind the rocks to miss the call
i think its best for me

of nights three to wade through muck
on the other side deepest water
ahead is the light and it stings the eyes

on your knees and peering up
in barren flesh made modest
above is the light and you better want it

for what its worth i cast it up
now watch me catch it falling

Baltazar

tipsy kiss
