"…the necessity to descend into hell in naked
dress if one were to preserve heaven."
– Wilson Harris, Companions of the Day
and Night
Blue enamel dome . over run down pedals pound till
wheels on rims send memos : tricks stirring in the home
port bricks ! brain weed sargassum^like could back
up.
Flailing, whose arms
revive . saved by Mandarin ? markers like breast
splash strokes in sea roped lanes | See? high there
off the wall consumer piping . braid^frighten so.
Free ways to feel
providentially happy in any climate depend : breath
short cut; how sucked in personation chests swell
separate equal | brokers having fun with pawns.
+
Up on planets new salt^spitting Arawaks show
sign in : reStart rung Here | feathers ponder
where to stall with grace . a bowl of soup J'ouvert;
Hey! roll before the po-po last^straw poking.
Risk transfer . @Myriam or Marie, ovenablers
gloved to settle Ibis^heart rate, cache ocean
trace; jazz^like inventing therms.
Le désir à l’alliance leans in . spontanéité
ship tight; gaze reset rites | come morning, one
two land lines usually illumine themselves ~ Go
for J. Desvarieux + vodoun perplexity.

BUD MOLSON'S WHITE DUNCE CAP
Mountains are unmoved by whirlwinds, boulders by torrents,
but both mountain and boulder await their next earthquake,
And when your car lands in a ditch, Molson pulls you out,
but when his mind’s proudest of its rut, he fucks you off,
and, if you ask him, we should line up all the homos
and other rapists, all the murderers thieves and crooks
(except hisBoys in the Senate) and shoot ‘em to hell
where they belong, Jesus, it’s a neverending job,
even where we live, the Best of All Possible Worlds,
God's country
