Selected Poems
Lavender, thyme, and yuzu
A heady clearing of violet and pale blue
Glistening keys dropping in a still diminuendo
Not as conclusion, but as reassurance
Lying in the crux of my taut palms
The road sweeps itself from under my feet
And I fly forward as if I were a child, again
Revolutions as renewed revelations
Every “spur of the moment” as blessing
And every backwards that brings me forwards
Divine placement as an implicit wit,
Life laughs at me-
And the funny thing is
I can do nothing
But laugh back
Itzcuauhtli crying a primitive premonition; a warning
Of the blue-eyed despot above the southern horizontal
The Transcendental Signified
He who scatters the sea of organs
A scene arranged like jazz keys
-
The southmost Aotearoa as ancestral apprehension
Aleatoric assemblages, a bricolaged visage
Every arrangement echoing his aortic centricity
Inscribing on the temporal sulcus an autocratic signature;
A proliferated signification of ‘the face’
I imagine my face is a ‘haunt’
Able to articulate my body so well,
You are a corporeal poet
Praising my figure into robust truth
Yet my face stays undelineated
Non-faciality
A silent visage traced on my organs
An always-already absent presence
Postmortem ephemera
Our post-facial dilemma
The leper’s skin tightens via an intensive heat
His limerance sun-dries into reinforced leather
Heliotropic embrace of the encompassed quasar
The quasar;
A star as nucleus potentiality of sweltering cathexis
Possessing the sclera through hairline procedures
Piercing radically into the nervus opticus
Words dribbling out my mouth
Phonetic spew; through the creases of my lips
Disseminating downwards
A seminal utterance
Of
Liquid multiplicity
poly
phonic
Semantic drift
Starlit psoriasis
Sparkling petechia
Bodily planes
Brimming of minutiae
Unopened, ended
Intra-colloquial personae
Stored in the kidney beaned pancreas
As opaque, saturated quota
The rest,
Expands in the inner-intestinal
Within the bloated bulimics bellow
The mouth shits while the anus eats
