Vermin lips track
stairwells and cracked pools
in the void shaft of my spine
ringing painted handrails
dropping violin wax
on the buttocks of a neck wound
heaving monolithic clouds
spirals coded with sinewed teeth
and a bar of hands
eraser rubber eyebrows
pancake face in the paper mirror
reading stacked cases to the fans
of a turning wall,
wetting the body to accept
amp's welt of microphone
white octagons in mud slacks
and river potholes
snake's belly of an aching mineral
tagged flecks of photo oil
relentless ooze of titty pores
bottle-cracked kneecaps
finger savoring the money drawer
spider necktie on a leather stool
womb's veil of pink saliva.
