raking the promise of summer

fruitflies sipping on old masturbation and fall foliage that leaves me spent and dry from this city that is sure to be dying with seed scattered in all the wrong places and whatever landing in nurtured nature being slurped away by sexless larva that get thrown into food to be cooked later on but not … Continue reading

be and not

coughing is the only time you’ll recognize your breath so suffocate live in gaps and die each day only to begin again for no other reason because you were born drooling and learning how to use those lungs to stop drooling in sputters * leave some of me left after you have finished with me … Continue reading

branded buts

human came from nature and made nature come from them by changing nature through changing themselves for what is civilization but a wave goodbye to all science but the regression of goods into gods of truth art but blood of birch and softer wood cooking but displays of torture and dominance sex but displays of … Continue reading

an autopsy on a blue jay
