Blankness Reflected (Part 1)

shivering teeth the ceiling’s descent, the drunken spongy borders of dim imagined soggy pulsing images in foggy spots, exhalation and the sound of exhalation, sense as the center of dampening paper surrounded by our soft cocooning breath. the shrieks are streaked across the walls by muffled crux-splatter and shuffled scuttle after skin-wrinkling stink, under-curl shrinkwrap of comatose redeye paint-by-memories, remembered visions of ambling backslides, jigsawed backside horizon intimating blackened soul, so the sky is falling in so dark split shatter rift cracks faded bleak paint streaks bleeding watercolor from above, cloud fog tops of toothy skyscrapers, drip drop splatter plops on closed eyes, vacuum void pupils, and fingernails that scratch attached to hands attached to sprawling nothing named. echoing generating rank fragrant impact sacks of poetry, memory, life stacked by the door filling cracked space gaps with slick and sickening scattered sacks, shattered patched mock-smokeless thoughts collecting next to kitchen sinks, grime and mold and ants converging colonists, the smell the heat it generates congeal to melt the hipster break the beatnik and politico and preacher melt the child father mother melt the you the me into elemental blank drywall cement smooth surface, reflection of an etch-a-sketch, cannibal intellect, our scratching sounds obscured through suture-milky selves, imagined innocuous incestuous imagination, the poem the poet are clown house mirrors reflecting endless reflection reflecting endless so endless so stab the bleeding hearts of the bleeding-heart poets, **** abrasively the ******* of the sensuous speaking spectacle preformed performance melt all it is it’s all it is and all is
