Torn chunks of flesh. Passing feelings like stars dying out of sight. Stood in a field with no one else around, we’re lonely like the trees. The horrors of moonlight. Pig children screaming for milk in distant malnourished spheres. Empty factories. Absent faces down memory lane. Wrapped in a state of mind. No words. Only… Read more

They shove germs in their mouths. They disappear as if not really there. People that come and go. Days that drift away like faces in a crowd of neon ghosts. Exoskeletons. Dreams of a life. Every eye that meets your own. Every gaze that cuts through disdain. A smile to warm even the most deadest… Read more

I am the elephant man with oranges down my spine. A pyramid between my shoulder blades, crouching through a keyhole. I am received dyslexic, son of Joseph. Ladies with no flesh hold fish. Triangles with eyes floating above my head. This maze is made of summer. It melts my bones until visions of a Minotaur… Read more

Scavenged bones. Lakeside lovers with hands entwined. In a head-on collision, vehicles pass from one phase to the next. Snarling faces a heartbeat away from martyrdom. Ornate patterns carved into restless arms. Crosses and lipstick. Embalming fluids. The truth of our fury, a ballistic bereavement. A first for creation. For pure waters where images know… Read more

Tiger man with teeth sharpened. She has vines and flowers bursting through ripened flesh. Others lose themselves beneath their softened shells because there’s nothing of interest to see. They escape beauty and replace it with the mundane. No visions. No tenderness. Just a mess of obscure mirrors and tired faces. Photograph your outlines, for that… Read more

Turn up the volume, and turn down the lights. Several faces where only one should exist. Scattered images of past and present loins. Sunken like breasts, and drowned in winter dismay. Parasitic brain, leaching through a lack of belief. Scars on the back of my hands. Inked words that have no meaning. Drawn symbols faded… Read more

Emaciated. Lubricated. Death and despair spreading willows from tongue to thigh. All those darlings suffocated so cruelly. Sluts in African plains. Vulture culture so plastic like modern sex. Jailed thoughts and hidden desires. From my mouth to hers. In his shadow, repeated until denial is not an option. Bodies in dust. Limbless limbs and a nebula… Read more
