Still Blinking III
First, remove the eyelids— they hold too much fiberglass. Grind streetlight into gunpowder, cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk. Take the sidewalk like heretic communion, metal-flake wine, asphalt host. She blinks razors. Stars break in her clavicle. You don’t touch her—you calibrate. Banana fingers, bruised and humming, plucking vapor off the fencepost. Storm-laced teeth. Voice as hinge, breath as cordless vacuum throat tightrope over a cheap motel dirty...

Still Blinking
Cornfield aluminum recycled communion wafers. We drank Gatorade wine from a stolen lunchbox, sat Indian style in the irrigation ditch, reciting Tool lyrics as scripture. My IPhone had a cracked screen, Her Android played only static and KORN. We smoked straw wrappers, wore hoodies like vestments. God, in the form of a substitute teacher, glassy eyed and smoked menthols. She named a dead bird “Ezekiel.” Buried...

Blinking Soul
Piercing blue ices through freezing blood within Liquid fused molecules of daiquiri bathed in sin Shattered cracks creviced black caverns of the beast Rattled, bruised dampened fuse ignites when deceased Hollow past poisons gas choking the thin air Empty Souls swallowed whole white pupils blink the stare Salted meat frozen beef hooked up Into a stiff Cooked the stew the boiling you...

Blinking
Of sun and moon and star to crest I never felt that I was blessed I love to sleep inside the mess Maybe the devil wore a dress Should I behave inside the cave With morals to deny the crave I mate the fate I can not shave And thus my bliss becomes her slave A clock work orange where seconds burn Out and...

Blinking Caret
With tears in his eyes He stares at the cursor Wanting to type Fearing he will The feelings overwhelming Building in crescendo The urge to kill Not another person But the demons inside Not knowing the words To allow to the surface He watches in amazement As they come flooding out Each one brings peace As it escapes through his fingers But still, he suffers As his cascade of words Offend his...
