self-trephination

the skylight
caught in the grace
shot out in a cannon
laughing

yesterday

the neurosis
a syphilitic old man
in death valley
suffering from botulism

the lesion
a sour metabolism
of the infamous tom jones
and his kielbasa

i drilled a hole

anxiety
the amphetamine
the virtual environment
of an erratic heartbeat

depth perception
obfuscates
the filthy cadaver
they always said
he was a curmudgeon

in my skull

the archive
a plethora
of photographs
of delicately naked
butterfly labia

the river
fishhook suspension
under the clandestine entity
of peppered ashes
