gutsy idyl dol delphinium be wracked by thee
them sudden them sunlit shores ripe or be reaped by thee
sung vulcan cloud built rock by breaking rocks vile earth O
mine algal loudness pressed clean by palm by surge the rock sky
hung, pony, like the moon, hard up in heaven, then by fire built the sky
lit round the rock-crowned earth that grew an eye to see it
I ache, I arc, I archaic, I arch, I eon, Ion, &on, archembryonic, vie, vision
as minerals ache toward light, as crystals crowd toward heat, as motion
is in me still, stallion of the oceans froth & scum, beat back & forth &
blue & greenblack against the rigid rock-cliffs, the sulphur-spray like
chrysanthemums heaped upon the shore; snot of the oceans; nectar
of the gods. (internal rhyme that first ocula, why wait for language,
proto-eye, protoplasm, protozoic, & yet zoic, why wait for sexual
reproduction, be pre-loined, pre-pulsed, press gems thru a thin
membrane, thief, pervert, from the first--)
clean my carbon flute of being. polish the first tarnish off. sway, sea-
lily, sea-bitten areole of living. thou parasite. thou spineless, sapless
dove-cell, I owe you, ok, pre-ganglia, pre-biont, accident, ignoble of form
& yet noble, philic & urgent my pathetic, my shining ancestor of form.
storm-ridden pleiad. ochre-in-the-hands. chronos, chronomic, & yet
nomic. cyanoaccretion, capsized heart on the pre-flowers of the first
morning, slimed & ugly pre-orchid. pre-euclid & insignificant cyto-
plasm that heaves & subsides as a film on the ocean, silver then blue.
curse, gentle primordial clouds, rain down a dull mist to sweep the leaden
sea, the rusting sea, precipitating order from urge, accreting order inside
urge, illium, cerulean, cut back from pride, methane, dust, solar flare,
from sea to shining, foul odor, curse of the open eye, curse of the
formless made form, the sea looked back at you then & then grew
clouded, lidded, heavywith the weight of sky, sullen w the weight of sky.
a darkness shines in the darkness timid as an eyeball, sightless as a rock.
a darkness shines in the darkness a cloud covers the sun the shadow of a
thought, shadow of a face turning away, a dimness shines around & is
swallowed, a small gulp, catch-in-the-throat, a brief disturbance in the
pattern; it was no rock that opened itself into itself onto that rock throne.
do all minerals strain toward living? porous silicates, clay, pyrite, both
code & catalyst, the silver spray catches in the light, would it have caught
in the darkness also, made an inside out of it, an instant out of it, the
ragged shore is wide & bright with the patterns etched in rock.
“my heaven is brass & iron my earth” & to be the body torn nevertheless
in the fields of copper, to invent exile, “shed thy grace [on]”-- & to be the
unclad bodies of first discipline inside all the extremities of the earth.
tempest-tossed, mineral cluster, mined from the lava that runs as rivers
of rock, be still my, be strewn my, flowers of hydrogen, drenched
in the endless chemistry of light. Proteus, becalmed, be calm, the sea.

speak, rock. like a bad tongue, ugly in the mouth of the world.
speak, first nerve, first chord, now-cold sea
seed in lace blooms by the grey shore first sign.
hard rocks horde crystals under oceans, speak, nitrogen
speak, carbon, reek genesis like the first breath.
acidic ocean of forgetting, second sign
is quartzite, pink like an eye
upturned in the metamorphic face
who ate hir children as rocks
speak, children of rocks
radiated, ultra-violet, sinuous Lethe
who ate first rocks radiant in the night-sky,
grew slowly.

I say unto u I goddamn command u

most dactly& High Adonis lake of vowels we r thrown 2
lake of detritus on yr face
stupid grin, moon dude moon grin
proud in yr manhood proud, 2 proud 4 pearls—

“not untwist” can dumber sun
scruff my plenty

hystericalpsychosis far from the oxygen-rich waters
of my heart I have flung u, little error,
kinglet, my rivulet I will mortify u limp
citadel in the idiocy of light
come @ me man
yet throb in the glucose relentless
climax of the forest
far from the uranium cyberskin mines
of my heart also I google relentless Hercules & cry
juniper :: Jupiter :: full-throttle :: necklace
something should be made 2 apologize for all this
in the nether regions egregious of summer
muscled & hairy of lilac the doldrums that roll
roll now down crevasse & neck & Absolute

forged from the endless chlorophyll

stupid chordate lunatic
choir I would cut out my tongue like a thorn
hazard a guess would you get ground down
by the endless wet gizzard of the sky
the endless grey gauntlet of my eyes
what my dirty hands have touched I command u
this is a cage & don’t u forget it :: poppy
of yr mouth flower of yr ceaseless urge
is the cage of :: relentless
thorn grown throne bent
under the stupid weight of yr stupid face
yr necklace awaits say mercy
say mercy mercy jilted lily of the valley
hollow be yr stem & hollow hollow be
thy name “or, most weary, cry”
