Liquid Thread
LIQUID THREAD
reed thin sluggish thread
moves toward poolmouth
an oblique dry wet that
slithers into my head
thick tiredtongue paste
watered down dissolves
sweat turns—then returns
a burning corrosive taste
carefrayed threadbare
shrinking ripples
righteous writes
unpoemed unpictured
on white page glare
I, Venus a hotred
Orange
blistered planet
blimp and wave
in day mourning
pools
riddling
8
Syllables
Or
Metaphors
Of
6
tablets blank hues
swallow gushrush
waterfalls
tanked up rancid
overflows
sounds and sights
psychewit waiting
to release
Streaming liquid thread
Screaming in my head
