cardboard.
he'd never been any good at
footfallings.

day by day in that
old back? when it never worked

he lived off the papers that cluttered the gutter of his doors.

he rend them to pieces
tore them apart
shredded each bit
on the roof of his mouth
and let the ink
bleach its mark to the back of
his tongue.

he swallowed.

and in the hollows of his I. eye,
he precluded all these taunts,
swallowed these letters to his belly and abused
every line touch word
he could get his filthy lips around.

it was not surprisinge even when he choked.

but with every fall
footfall
he touched a tete
a-tete-a-tete
AND HOW HE WISHED
fucking wished
the hollow of his cheek.
once upon a time when the world was still new,
all things were still.

the earth that my brother created
was a block,
a sphere carved from the hollow of his cheek
that he set down
unfurled
& dusted off
beneath our feet.

and though

all space lived in stasis,
all stasis lived in space,

the whole lot of us revolved
around a block of earth and the words of one brother.

when things changed,
we set the sun in the sky

with my sister's light
and my neverending folly.

luck spun the sky and then things changed.

the earth now moves
and we creatures,
vile as we are,
remain static.

the earth revolves around the sun,
in this world

Any reason this one's not for sale? It's one of my favorite, I just love the colors. "P U R E W A T E R" and "if only." are also up there on my list, I think it's impressive when an artist can get all the colors of the rainbow into one piece.
