Emergency

When I came home,
                         the sun was down.
I shut my two black eyes   and when I opened them,
the sun was up                  and snow was falling from it.
I put one mirror on the ground,
                           all of the snow fell in to it.
The sun was disintegrating.
                            I left the yard.
                            I went right  up the stairs.
                                          How old am I now,
                                          that the mirror is full.How old am I now,          that the sun has gone empty.

Enviable Position

A lily is made of putrescent white.
I knew a girl in a dress that same colour.
I met her on the 90th floor of R Building.
She was looking in the mirror by the elevator.
She was repeating a man's name.
I took her hand and led her to the stairs.
We went up 12 flights together.
His name came with us.
We exited on to the roof.
She threw down my hand.
She walked off the ledge.
With him.
Her dress was her future.

Nemesis____A  Hypothetical Star, orbiting the sun
beyond the Oort Cloud, a light year a way.


The pain of it is intrinsic in the sun's character.
A pull it rarely understands.
Something like when trauma occurs in an infant's life,
and for all the rest it does things without frontal reasoning.
Even heavenly bodies are haunted.

I sent the specimen to 11 Institutions of note.

I received 11 telegrams back,

The above being the only positive return.

My request:         Enclosed is one photo of

                           The Object.

I found it beneath my bed on the third day 

of January. I live alone. I live among few

possessions .There is no earthly reason for
it's arrival among my trappings. Your estab-
lishment being one of great exalt, I beg your
thorough examination. In payment, I
here for give rights of all findings to your
prestigious institute.I would be deeply
obliged for haste in answer to this query, as
the matter has a gravity in accord to my
own health.


Nineteen days have past since my initial finding. My left kidney has failed, 3 of my teeth and all of my fingernails have come away, 10 bones have splintered or broken in the course of normal mobility and I lost my hearing just houres ago. The very core of me is falling to pieces as I drift into sleep during all manner of activity and deep inside the most deranged and abstract nightmares, the likes of which I've never read nor conceived.


In my extremity, I do as the impersonal note reads. Close my eyes.


I am inside the rotunda of a sentient thing. A permanent vast. Dim with tissue whose thick is that of a planet. It hurts to know. There is nothing to distinguish any single place, only grey sameness eternal. Wretched timidity steals over me. I give in. It thinks for me. The intimacy is overwhelming. It tells me:


THIS IS BENIGN THIS IS BENIGN THIS IS BENIGN THIS IS BEINNG THIS IS BENIGN




I've no opinion. I've lost emotion. This is benign. This is Benign. This is BEnign. This is BENign. This is BENIgn. This is BENIGn. This is BENIGN. This Is BENIGN. This IS BENIGN. THis IS BENIGN. THIs IS BENIGN. THIS IS BENIGN. THIS IS BENIGN THIS IS   BENIGNTHISISBENIGNTHISISBEINNGTHISISBENIGNTHISISBEINNGTHISISBEINNGTHISISBENIGNBEINNGBENIGNBEINNGBENIGNBEINNGBENIGNBEINNGBENIGNBEINNG

Jack Kelly

His loose hair fell and what it grew to was child in appearance.
In true, it was only dead leaves and and pages from dead books.

Its reality found only in the broken sound of its gait.
I met it in my sleep.
In every landscape, it stood inches away and facing me.
All of my mobility tampered with as it was always before me.
It was before me; before all of us.
It came from a before that wasn't recorded.

Its sophisticated decay is foreign to the now.
There are no things older,
except Jack Kelly.

on the date of our assured de-evolution,
an annex in time is carved from the nothing,
so that we might warm our farthest reaches
by the fire of lives better lived.

 PURITY TEXT

 If there were water,

We would give it design.

If there were soil,

We would seed it malign.

If there were inside,

We would turn it all out.

If there were outside,

We would breathe it devout.

If there were living,

We would learn how to see.

If there were nothing,

We could remain Blind.

There Is A Man

A Righteous Man.
