On Close Inspection

-- On close inspection, all literature is probably a version
of the apocalypse... on the fragile
border where identities do not exist...
--Julia Kristeva, The Powers of Horror


on close inspection the
I
wanted

its m(ore)other or
rather another
figure, say Charles

Bronson & spaghetti
fact/
similie of

a western
pronoun? On
close

inspection
the
I

wanted more
music
of the romanticist

immaculate
him-ming in church or
herring

horror of
an
essay

by the
famous
JK

on waves
of
abjection

where the hair
is
hung

to a wisp
an eyebrow caress
continuing past

2004 a (your?) face
on close
inspection borrowing

a carnation riot
of pigment
(all) rise

never
to grow they
(are) unnoticed

from
the hand
held

remote
a noun
and a verb

as is mind
where tinnitus,
timid will--

form a close inspection
of noise--
where the I

drives a late model red
fossil
to a beach

a conch
lovingly
washed

for a new
"strange
brew"
