Muddy Constellations

its just the way you're sewn together the way DNA twists and bends a bow legged soul going around every mud puddle encountered.. then bragging about having been there-done that while having done nothing and been nowhere wrapped tight inside a varicosed veneer cornucopia etched "untested comfort". i like to splash in mud puddles that you've avoided taste the grit of life pass a wet Mexican gold blunt round and round the devil's circle eat Percocet pie slap a muddy paw against the flanks of pristine until the night blacks out then hack down a slippery staircase knead a muddy morning constellation glaze it with cheap second hand tattoos and beer piss bake it all in an oven on pinball tilt then laugh the laugh of crows and jackals

just discovered you from a post on 3/29/21 and devouring your portfolio, so nice to taste the reality of poetic soul-ness. I've been too long on a diet of structure and forced contrivance for the purpose of "contests" and rules of form. Aaargh.
