1. reducing ideas to words

Scratching the paper,

we trade precision smears

for hard company.

2. the physical resonance of attraction (a.m.)

Albino lizards

lick the air – cavers approach!

A feast of tanned flesh…

3. Jutted

Brine, creosote, blood –

stir with rusting screwdriver.

Cut tethers, start work.

4. Sounds of separation

Waking innocent,

like it had never been said.

Then we remember.

5. Kay Hill & Kevin Sanders

From edge of tar pit

to aeon-bled exhibit –

petrified moment.

6. Christ of the Abyss

Petri dish culture

of tainted agar reveals

face of the prophet.

7. Happy Days

‘Sit on it, Winnie!’

says Fonz, buried to his neck.

Sammy feeds the shark.

8. hyperhypercritical

Each tide’s rasping breath

a fraction of Moon’s release,

or: “saying goodbye.”

—ooOoo—

In summary…

Prodigious output:

teeth, gears grinding

– reflected in silver bullets.

—ooOoo—
