scarecrow poetics/essays

Some tip for nowness:
splendor. Yellow dog named Snort
ejaculates upon my name.
Truncated holocaust nails
tiny lips explode in germinated
fields of polished gore fabrics.
“How do you know I haven’t painted on this already,”
that’s the bird dropping off cost’s
sun-veiled toilette. Coupon bleeds

Pink symmetry of wolfhead
falling, dreamy mermaid
beefs up the green. Without
any tact we feel real music
emotion, chopped and bleeding,
flush this.
