summer 08

1. the madonna's day trip

that morning
she rented a beauty car

bright day
on pure time

the city of trash
sparkled
like a black diamond

on the highway
of roses
she felt like a
thousand blue flames

until a herd of tarantulas
blocked her way

when she tried the brakes
a serpent coiled around her feet

spinning in death flowers
wilting on the dashboard
she barely escaped
the burning car

they put the spiders in the spider ambulance
and rushed them to the anvil of eternity

she fussed over her
beauty wounds

to kill her sick star
she wants dragon milk

holding back the soul tears
leaked on concrete flowers
and burning love bridge

crying moon blood
forgiveness comes hard
for the carbuncled beauty car

her dark star turns on spider legs


2. memory on death row

the blind man remembered
a blind rose

like a red tricycle
broken
in a dust heap

there the pig razor
suffered
the blue rain
on the black day
infecting the never blind

jinx played the pornograph
in the hours of green monkeys
and spindled time junk

skin time
playing in the mind spring
where moon trees glistened

bungled the carnival doctor
injecting the black hour
with blue lightning

the blind man remembered
a white hand
signaled surrender
to strychnine

in the jack rabbit mindscape
a blue dog
memorized the hanged man
