Green Hell



      


      As I fall into the buzzing altar of heavy 
metal shifting sand, maw, swirling sheets, 
illness drools plus plus halcyon?
drawn too many wrinkles obfuscating drooling 
sticky long second lunch fool
the maelstrom of too deep damned pools of return.
Mis-grand invitational, undirectional 
grab of gravitational hands, "
invitation to hell sent blossom vent
conveyer belt truss smelt exfoliant excrement;
they Harry Potter Night bus me to the stage hamburger helper greasy pan, to the toilet, heave explosion of scent.
Throws it up where it land, 
a stranger of a strange gland.

Lights glare as I am engaged with evils pestilence 
weevle, weeble wobble, romper stomper clown car 
travel, thick and thin division times table math of sibil 
Gemini Janus with Judas Kiss of dragon breath and
stone clogs dervisher on gravel judgment gavels, 
wickerman warrior on trial by Witch's haggle cauldron 
and spell book ends in hallway statue, 
standard bearer and flag pole for which it still stands 
like a wet rag stuck in k-hole of hell mouth, 
of an infiltrated land of apathy 
and anti virtue kind of contagion.
Hold of tongues of fire, abyss falling rapid fire of legion. 
G-forces dare a redline crossed, thong, sponge, a gaggle of track a murder of crows spy vs spy 
cookies monster demons, 
lard mighty ship was tossed, Gilligan's  
Bewitchment I dream of Genie after school special 
masturOvation,
a snagglerock Kroft Puppet, fuilombuoyard fraggled 
fractal rockstar Ginger hurl equasion, 
movie star, toss across, tic tac toe double cross-throwing star lawn D'art deepthroat Artesian well-Blurghlppglurl pptptptt? 
At a lossferwords what? Gagometer, altimeter throttled, 
specter Geiger Counter, led wings-thick things, 
warped speed 
slothed-deplete, depleted encounter unfurls repeat 
erosions of my throat for hot tub time machine squirrel.
Star Trek fuzzy creatures on the wall, 
hot sick screech, infiltrate scrawl, dizzy hall, 
mauled by belladonic ballerina twirl.
Bed, fukkk mi fukkk you all, falls helpless 
lethargicly sick of flu nearly dead, 
big but small, wound but loose, short and tall, 
disgusting luke deathwarmed soup. Martyrdom. 
Star fall. "
The end all be all". Cat rolls eyes, looks somewhere else in the room.
Waits till whining beach is asleep, then
licks my scalp, the claws that steady 
the "mound of spinning clay on a wheel", 
only half as deep as usual dig in. 
You do love me, kitty !
Cleans self obnoxiously loud, next to me, 
stretching, yawning sentinel."What, kitty?
Did you say something in telepathy?"
"Yes, you whining beach! Stop whining like a beach, 
how about that, you are delirious from fever, I mean, even more than usual?"
Curls back up, indignantly, loyalty, still, 
ashamed of me, withholds tail in a tuck, 
a sigh mocking my whimpers, purrs, 
buries head into glossy unsick better than thou art fur, 
belly shaking laughs but comes up with game face,
farts in mine, blurghllpurrplgoglubla ptptpt spit spit, 
toilet beach umbrella marks the spot of pirates treasure, rum Tortuga, fish gills, allyaAllsWhores ah fluck, blurrpurrglspillpillbubbleblahblah ptpt spit s pit, "you'll get this one later" (spell)
O
Green Hell.
