As/Is







5.03.2007


stars are

she froths
in bathroom mirror
her eyes
are saints glued
to the humming heavens
of ceiling'd cocaine
stars are
and so into
a waddling gaze
that spaced this
the word made flesh

why is it
you taste
so good
so much
that this and that
bump and grind
buoy startled
contradictory
immaculate
roseate
the q-tips
of guilt
the first guilt
before or pre-gossip
for the love of haste
blurts out for god's sake
in cultured comic bubbles
spilling fear further
than the corners
of my opiated smile
can cling to
