path around the nucleus

it’s time zones

                                like a thumb tack twister

take away an hour

add two hours

divide love by moments

 

(don't forgret to tend the wounds)

 

and then the panthers come like carnivorous shadows

green eyes glow (but not in the fun way)

 

lacquered enlightenment

hung in the corner of a hole-in-the-face

slum (brrrr!)

 

Welcome mats laid lovingly over landmines

and kisses from uncle shovel head

 

J.W. Gacy makeup over a Billy Graham smile

over and over like an ice pick on vibrate

or a dyslexic unicorn stuck on remix

 

stylistic disintegration

is a matter

of sugary stars

laced with arsenic lingerie

 

linger…fade…flicker

aaaaaannnd

*dong* hot soup’s ready

 

taste affectionate rejection

I smell what yer cookin'...... it's amazing how your can throw a net over everything and fold it in and the captured living flotsam tangled beneath makes more sense than it did on it's own. Nice reversal contrasts btw.
