They Cheek Kiss So In Afghanistan

Had seen it before but now saw it again
as if he had not seen it before…as though
a new religious feeling arose from it.”
– Wilson Harris, Companions of the Day
and Night (1975)

Think you could just weevil out the Account
you asked^they built ? screen world unlocked
Play dare | so recoup what matters from device
point blame.

Fair warning : there is no ship path home
after the forest trail stops | tree trunks
them snap them bench-plane-keep . right
click to stacking .
……………..

Ah, room lights off chancers jump . sneak
currency through veil . god surge (the ankle
robes forbid) until breath^takes rip
inlets Great!

Upright knot storm over . the air so fresh, Go
set the table outside . You got this, bitch!
sweep the debris swollen under sleep^
bridled eyes.
…………….

Rooster egret corbeau snake – which brand you
think would spiral first ? about this world
sensing . can’t muck^stamp take no more.

The business we here run . lines to transcendence
may require filling a million or so bone ‘n’
back orders; grip sides basting in the sun.

YUH RAP SO (6.5)

In medias res the World created God
that had to happen because Creation did,
He there thought, – blasphemy no less logical
than the fashionably commonsensical
Belief that in light of the world’s darkness no
Maker could lie behind what we know + do
nor within Earth’s jungle of sheer happenings
not least the lightning that allows witnessing
but why try boyo to explain visionlight
we only see what we already bear – it
is in the baggage we bring when we are born
or else we’re only bats in the brightest noon:
