What Is You, Heart?




where did you go       a glimpse

                                      caught

                                                a figure in a night

dress moving through the door

frame of night—

a panic sudden lying

on the floor—waiting

the drum beat carried with the drum into the distance—

over regions, a person stretched disparate
and continuous

as humidity





Index
           of panic in

night contrast between feeling
the floor and the intrusion

looming
wild petal open

curling fingers the flower beckon

draw in, grow wide and violet






heart of dog food sculpture
    sliding out of mold
colonizes  

    White dress of a night            

            ( cannot find       

  Language      
      to decry:  the panic of
  the petty    person\al

without scope to calm

*
Balloons

filled with hairspray and dog-smoke
and cigarette meat in the pathetically grandiose
town hall of the small, provincial town of the heart
of the mind in the space wt that cannot be
lifted

of sleep   sleep where
scramble
so thoroughly the so thoroughly laid
plans laid in the contrasting day

space—

dichotomy and my family waiting in lines
that for being dumb do no less hard strike the heart
that open to the horror of global context
    glimpses of (
) really ///

a mud’le turn over    the stone
            bash compass
unfold the skin
back from the face-bone
  skull   and only a skull
for a home and a home of waiting
 in panic   frozen to the floor
     like a spill
       like piss
spilled on the floor
spread to the door the dress pulled
the drum through and only a slip with no body
a glimmer behind closed eyes cannot call on any comfort of scale
beyond even this is nothing compared to the something
feral something lurking in the petals of the flowers of
  evil   that people
the garden
that is the only option
contains beauty compromised
all the regularity of the factory
and the sacrifice of labor
of a good payin job


all the regularity of wild
    thoughts compressed
like a shifts worth
   of silver cans stacked
into rows
  a monumental prose


Like, a shifts worth of silver cans
 contain   and do hold in rows
 mountains of dog  meat

Joseph and Tammy


As the spirit moves me
so will I move…


Dreaming of Tammy, Tammy Sincavage
All the things we will do

My name is Joe, Joseph Sincavage.
Tammy’s a cousin, not through blood.

          We go on drives
          through the windy back country

           The sunlight is dappled she
           cooks me

I don’t read the paper, I keep my house neat, I walk late at night, back and forth on the street. Everyone knows me, I have to remember that.

Give me a list of chores and my afternoon is full. Downtown’s half dead.
But I love to go in the stores. Pass my eye over the goods. This is what
is available. I just want know
what is possible. What I can be I must. I’ve
always loved that.

No Stalgia For


See it like this
the morning where the evening
and its tendencies unravel
are relived.
If in this morning--shame
glots the chest--as if no one ever drank--evidence, evidence
if in this morning there should also be weather
then it’s already over. You’re finished, you morning
if the wind blows
  orange
across the mad rational hulk of your buildings
the non-human context of your beach silence,
coming from nowhere to nowhere

—see, like this

and if not? Still missing Them
things about them times with
their families
-- ah god--
everything gets tossed, it’s the commerce of just
the lowest prices

“We don’t even have the land   
 live off?     we’re cut off
So go back home @ night ends and eat a slice of pizza pie
On the couch in the t.v. blue down low
Volume don’t wake parents what is to be done
With the bundle accrued through the day
no system can unify
a mess towards purpose
Layers and contradictions, because
We wouldn’t even want to
We want to be painted
board in a hall wood and dust, maybe
And time
feeling lost time passing with no
Transcendence through art o god juts so bad
Speak to wish clearly, to hew accurate a picture that
Feels it is so there

No stalgia pt. 2

Leave    it is imperative   but
where
and for what and
 also just plain how-- 
  impossible, the questions left behind

the name in a dream and his story
that windy back
porch the semi-shut-in sells dope off
with a just-so laconic pose
Suddenly stands     for everything
Ever  tried  to be said  to be raised
just as quickly
discarded once perspective
shifts even a little
car or a train
window I’m always looking out of
a back mountain
road getting high

No stalgia #1



 Driving down the high spine of the little world,
world that curves still the focus
made body in the proximity of
possible doings never come to pass
an ache that race
that race to where

alway
s lost so palpable lush vegetation
attitude that serves that severs
unity to a value reduction a
value to be extracted, only value

in the use, the passing the taking of
the motion like
not important the quiet town
ies
carpel tunnel stance and quiet rendering thereof leaves
 manifestly apparent
not going to happen not ever
never happen leaves a spacethe leaving
now
only bare/vision
the weight of town little and dirty
wintered and bare lots of
mega stores have cropped all other commerce
Can’t / doesn’t anyone see the ring of over
Walking through streets
in the night trying
to conjure or find
fading unanswered
asking of our question are we 

D I S C O N T I N U E


Discontinue
          
          catalogues record the days

Half discarded way full of blank

     unnamed arise and fall away

They wait are they called on

Space in private intrude not better

Walk this we as if full with arms

We drop socks pick to stoop

And grab ourselves in fits

Comedy sheds

Blunders all the evidence

So sad yes lies in thought

The flood of feel you coming

From the catalogues: a

Spontaneous chaos advocate the of

Improvisational legends made

These thoughts that arise in arbitrary grid

Are pulled away

The color is red, the image: a


Bellows.
